Until Beto, no one had ever contacted me about voting Dem in Texas. I always voted but it felt hopeless. Beto and Powered by People have been amazing!
We voted early too. We had to vote absentee from New Mexico. We rented a post office box just for our ballots and sent them back Priority Mail so we could track them. They made it!

I know they have high hopes for the state house. Biden's 6 mil ad buy for this wk will help!

Governor would be a nice slap in the face of the TX GOP but LtGov is the real power
