John,
For the first time in modern Texas history, there will be a Democratic candidate on every single ballot line in this state. Every State House district. Every State Senate race. Every Congressional seat.
That’s 205 races and 205 opportunities to show Texans that democracy doesn’t stop at the city limits or county line. That their voices matter no matter where they live.
In 2025, Powered by People focused on building this foundation: recruiting candidates, organizing in places that have been overlooked, and building the kind of grassroots support to help Democrats win this year and in the years to come. These 205 races are about winning these contests and bringing more Democratic voters into our elections.
When we reach, register and turnout Texans for State House and Congressional races – even in places where Democrats haven’t held power in decades – we are improving the odds for our candidates and we are also sending votes up to the top of the ticket. Imagine Texas tipping the balance of power in Congress as all these new and activated voters across these 205 races send a Democrat to the U.S. Senate!
We need to support these candidates, register voters in their districts, and grow our organizing power statewide. Powered by People was built for exactly this moment, but this work only moves forward because people like you choose to be part of it.
Thank you,
Beto O’Rourke
