Good to see.

Since I'm a Native Texas (although I've lived in CA almost my entire adult life - since '88), I still have friends that live there.

I've dropped one childhood friend and have a very spotty relationship with another.

However, I have two friends who I'm still somewhat close to. One said she thinks Beto's chances are 50/50 (which thrilled me). The other said she and her husband think it's more 65/35 (with Abbott at 65).

I'll be emailing my friends here In Cali. (something I've done for the past few elections cycles) letting them know where the close races are regarding seats and Governorships that we really have a chance of picking up so they can donate, phone bank, etc. for places where there's a real chance.

My LGBTQ friends are very active and look to me regarding some of these issues since I keep the closest eye on politics....
