2. He's absolutely a favorite of mine, too!

He's smart, informed, energetic, hard working - and he cares! I'd vote for him for any office!

3. Goooo Beto!!!

I have high hopes for Beto!

[Rhiannon12866]

4. Oh, so do I!

How could anyone choose Abbott - whose negligence and poor policies are responsible for deaths in the state - over Beto?? According to the polls, Beto's catching up - as of a week ago, he was only 5 points behind. Uvalde may have made the difference. *sigh*

5. I expect one day, Beto will be president

[Rhiannon12866]

9. He had been 2 points behind until Uvalde. Hope we can pull it off.

We need him so bad.

10. He's desperately needed - Abbott has been a frightening failure. Under his watch, Texans have died

Beto has traveled the state, signing up voters and advocating for what citizens need. How anyone can still support Abbott now, just looking at his record, boggles the mind. The key is GOTV - get out the vote for Beto! He's done more than his part - it's up to us now!
