and I'm seeing plenty of media coverage for him in the smaller local newspapers when he makes campaign stops.

He's been quietly building his campaign.
It'll be tough under the RW circumstances but BETO is exactly the man we need to govern this State back to Ann Richards Blue.
We've never left his side.

A lot of us still have our BETO signs safely stashed away because we all knew he'd be back.
The day has finally arrived!

two months before the primary so Beto shouldn't pour a lot of money into advertising against Abbott. He does need to keep his name visible in the media though, but his campaign has proven adept in using social media and email during the lull between elections. I'm hoping that he will have the resources come Labor Day to mount an effective campaign against Abbott.

And since he has a national presence, I'm sure he also has national support. I think he has an excellent chance, both because of that - and Abbott really let everyone down on Covid.
