We need a really robust GOTV effort. I am super excited about Beto's campaign against Ted Cruz. Ever since March he has been going on a county to county tour of every county in the state. He has already out raised more funds than Cruz from grassroots supporters. As he stated Texas is not a red state it is a "non-voter" state. Texas is very flippable.

And for the Texas Senate my district has an AMAZING candidate. He is a Bronze Star veteran who served two combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. He has a lot of targets on his back from the group in Dripping Springs that started the whole bathroom bill issue in Texas. He stood up for the victims family in Dripping Springs and spoke on behalf of the initial bullied victim's family in that area since they were receiving threats. He does not back down to any bullies of any kind and in general is just an amazing person. I hope that he can get some needed outside attention and support to help flip this district.
