Unbelievable.

It’s hard to believe, team. Election Day is three weeks from today. The race for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general are neck-and-neck. Congressional seats are on the line. And we have initiatives on the ballot in FIVE communities across Texas. This is a big deal. We are spend…

POLL: It’s all tied up in Texas!

This is BIG, team! A new poll shows Beto O’Rourke in a statistical TIE with Greg Abbott in the race for governor of Texas just three weeks before the election. This is huge. After out-raising Greg Abbott for the second quarter in a row, Beto O’Rourke is within the margin of error of defeatin…

Can you believe it, team? There is less than one month until Election Day—and we have some important news: Beto O’Rourke and Greg Abbott are neck-and-neck in fundraising! With the right push, we can unseat Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick, and Ken Paxton in less than a month. Ground Game Texas is wor…

This race is so important.

We have a quick favor to ask, friend. Polls show that Michelle Vallejo, running in Texas’s 15th Congressional District, is neck-and-neck with her Republican opponent. FiveThirtyEight says this seat is a Toss Up. It’s critical that Democrats keep this district blue this November. The Washingto…

Unseat criminal Ken Paxton

Attorney General Ken Paxton is an embarrassment to our state, team. But there’s good news…We have a chance to unseat him next month. But first, let me explain why this race is so important. Here are a few not-so-fun facts about Ken Paxton: He’s been indicted on five felony counts of fraud – …

Unseating Greg Abbott starts TODAY

Did you catch the debate, team. This weekend Beto O’Rourke debated Greg Abbott in the race for governor—and it did not go well for Gov. Abbott…  Beto schooled Abbott on his handling of immigration, the power grid, and mass shootings like Uvalde. And Abbott failed to defend Texas Republicans’ …

This could be the difference in Texas...

Young voters may be the key to flipping Texas, team. There are nearly three million 18- to 24-year-olds in Texas. These potential voters hold the key to flipping Texas—but historically have not turned out in large numbers. But new data show young voters, in Texas and across the nation, are re…

Abortion. Is. On. The. Ballot. In. Texas.

Abortion could be the issue that unseats Greg Abbott, friend. New polling shows six in ten Texans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases—and only one in ten say abortion should be banned in all cases.  Yet Texas Gov. Greg Abbott continues to stand by Texas’s extreme anti-aborti…

Our plan to restore Texans’ abortion rights

The right to abortion is on the ballot, team. Across the country, Republican lawmakers are passing laws to criminalize abortion and reproductive care. Texas has some of the most extreme anti-abortion laws in the nation—with no exceptions for rape, incest, or often even the health of the patie…

THIS is how we win.

Fighting back against abortion criminalization

Friend, As of last week, Texas has some of the strictest laws against the right to an abortion. Texas’s so-called “trigger laws” went into effect last week—meaning it’s now a felony for a doctor to perform an abortion in Texas, even in the cases of rape or incest. These laws are incredibly da…

South Texas is key to flipping the state

South Texas is the key to flipping this state, team. But for far too long, Democrats have taken South Texas for granted. Democrats have under-invested, under-organized, and assumed voters would show up and vote blue. But Ground Game Texas is working to change that. We’ve launched campaigns de…
