It’s all paying off

Beto for Texas

Jason,

Wrote this from seat 9B on the United flight back to Dallas from Houston. We then drove from DFW airport to a big rally in Irving, our 58th early voting event over the first 9 days of polls being open.

The turnout and the energy was off the charts. That also reflects what we're seeing at the polls. Not only is Texas far surpassing turnout from the last midterm election, we are on track to potentially exceed Presidential election year levels.

From a state that has historically ranked 50th in voter turnout, that's huge.

And it means that all of the hard work -- all of the miles, all of the town halls, all of the doors, all of the phone calls, all of the volunteers we've connected with the voters of Texas -- it's all paying off.

A lot of these voters who are shattering the turnout records are voting for the first time. You helped us reach them and get them registered. A lot of them are voters who have never voted in a midterm in their life. You got them off the sidelines and into the game. Some are Republicans who will be voting for the first Democrat in their life. Others have dropped out of voting altogether until you gave us the resources to reach them and give them a reason to join us.

With 6 days to go, I want your help to finish as strong as possible. There are a lot more voters for us to reach.

Keep me up on air so everyone watching TV sees our message. Keep me in front of people as we travel the counties of Texas. Help me share the urgency of the election of our lifetime with everyone in Texas, wherever they are -- in person, online, on the air, wherever -- we've got to do everything we can to invite everyone in Texas to decide the future of this country.

We're almost there -- let's give it all we've got and win this.

Grateful to you for making this possible,

Beto

Falling behind

Beto for Texas

Jason,

I'll keep this short. More than 4.1 million early votes have been cast in Texas. Beto and Ted Cruz are neck and neck. We can win, but we need to get every last supporter to the polls.

For us to do that, we need to hit every one of our final fundraising goals. Unfortunately, we've fallen behind on our fundraising, and we need a lot of help making up lost ground. Can Beto count on you to contribute again?

Send Beto another $10 contribution before tonight when the time is up on our end-of-month goal. Your contribution now could mean the difference between victory and defeat.

Contribute $10 »

As you know, we don't have any super PACs waiting in the wings to fund our final get-out-the-vote plan. We only rely on contributors like you -- that's why emails like this one are so important.

Please make another last-minute contribution to our end-of-month goal.

Thank you so much for everything you've contributed to make our campaign possible.

Wow, this new poll:

Beto for Texas

Jason, a brand-new poll came out late last night. We wanted to make sure you saw.

The poll shows Beto behind by only 3.6%, a gap we can -- and must -- close. The more shocking stat is that 5.7% of Texans polled remain undecided between us and Ted Cruz. Whether or not we convince those folks to swing our way all comes down to what we do in these final few days.

We're asking now -- please send Beto an urgent $10 donation to help us win over those last-minute voters. Your contribution could mean the difference between us winning or losing this race.

Contribute $10 »

Here's what we'll do with your contributions:

  • Share Beto's vision for Texas in television and online ads. Many voters still haven't heard enough about Beto. If we can reach them, we can win.
  • Mobilize hundreds of field staff and volunteers to talk to voters. Your donations fuel the largest voter contact effort Texas has ever seen in the last six days.

There's never been a more important time to donate. Please contribute $10 or whatever you can afford ahead of midnight tonight so we can close the tiny gap between Beto and Ted Cruz.

We can't thank all of you enough for everything you've given this campaign. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Let's close out the next few days as strong as possible.

sorry so early -- big news broke late last night

Beto for Texas

Jason, sorry to email so early -- some really big news broke late last night and I wanted to get it over to you first thing this morning.

A brand-new poll from the University of Texas at Tyler shows Beto behind Ted Cruz among likely voters by a slim 3.6 points.

This is HUGE news with less than one week until Election Day. We need to jump on this news fast. We can close this gap.

Quick: pitch in another contribution of $10 or more to Beto's campaign and help us reach as many Texans as possible in these final six days.

Contribute $10 »

There's so much momentum on our side: Beto absolutely crushed his town hall on MSNBC last night, sharing the values we're all fighting for in this campaign across the state. Texans are voting early in record-breaking numbers. And poll after poll shows what you and I know to be true: Beto can win this race.

But it'll only happen if enough people step up and help him do it at the moment it matters most. We can't let this day pass us by -- not with so much on the line, and not with November 6 so soon.

We're up against the FINAL end-of-month fundraising deadline of our campaign tonight at midnight. Can you give a little more to help Beto reach more voters? I guarantee it'll be put to great use.

Talk soon,

Chris Evans

most important week of the entire election

Beto for Texas

Jason,

Time is running out to make a difference in this race -- but a brand-new poll this week shows Beto 'within striking distance.' We've gained four points since the beginning of the month.

This much is clear: Our strategy is working, but we have to keep pressing aggressively.

There's only one week left before the polls close. It's the most important week of this entire election. If we make an epic grassroots push now, we can push Beto over the top. But it will take all of us, so we're asking for your help, urgently.

Can you rush another $10 contribution or more to Beto's campaign tonight? Help us keep the momentum surging -- until we can surpass Cruz.

Contribute $10 »

While the Cruz campaign is backed by corporate special interests and big PACs pouring millions of dollars into Texas, we're mobilizing grassroots supporters at historic levels. Pure grassroots organizing is how we've gotten so close to winning.

We're channeling every single contribution directly into: 1) our biggest voter contact mobilization effort of the whole campaign -- the final four days before Election Day, and 2) boosting Beto's positive vision for Texas across every media outlet possible, across the airwaves and online.

Thanks to your contributions, we've already reached millions of Texas voters. But there are still millions more to reach, and we're running out of time. We have to get more resources to our field program and ads team immediately.

We can't afford to fall short of our end-of-month fundraising goal. We've come too far -- and are too close to winning -- to let this slip away now. Can Beto count on you to pitch in now, before the month is out?

We have the guts, determination and sheer numbers to win.

Let's do this.

508%

Beto for Texas

Beto for Texas

Jason,

We just saw this tweet and had to share it with you: data analysts studying Texas election results found that voters under age 30 are voting in this election at rates 508% higher than in 2014!

This is great news for Beto's campaign -- and we have to capture this momentum. Fast. Whether Beto wins or loses in seven short days could come down to a few thousand votes. We can't let this opportunity pass us by.

If you can afford it -- please rush another contribution of $10 or more to Beto's campaign to mobilize millions of Texas voters in the final week of this election.

Contribute $10 »

This news is more evidence of the historic spikes in voter turnout across Texas. But we're especially excited to see that more young Texans are voting: our campaign is helping change who shows up to vote.  

No political pollster would tell Beto it's a good idea to campaign on college campuses. But Beto knows young Texans are on the front lines of the biggest fights of our time, and they have the power to help swing this election. That's why we've made it a priority to mobilize historic numbers of young people to get involved in our campaign and vote for Beto.

We have just seven short days until Election Day, and we're counting on your grassroots support to get even more Texans out to vote for Beto. Help us get there by pitching in $10 right now.

Thanks,

Team Beto

GOOD news for Beto

Beto for Texas

Jason,

In just a second, I'm going to ask you to make a contribution to Beto towards our final end-of-month goal. But first I hope you'll let me spell out the three reasons we're so optimistic about our chances heading into these final days:

  1. Based on the kinds of voters who have already cast ballots early, this election is extremely close. Beto can win!
  2. This year already set a new record for early voting turnout. Beto has inspired unprecedented numbers of new voters to join our movement. We're not just increasing turnout, we're changing who votes. And that makes all the difference.
  3. Young people are turning out to vote at a rate 2X how many voted in 2014.

Millions more Texans still haven't voted yet -- and it's up to us to get every single Beto supporter to the polls. Beto can win -- he's counting on us to crush our fundraising goals so we can fully fund all our 'get out the vote' programs. Unfortunately, our fundraising has dipped down lately. Can we count on you to help make up lost ground?

Rush another $10 contribution right now to Beto before the time is up on our final end-of-month goal.

Contribute $10 »

This election could come down to just a few thousand votes. It'll be extremely close. When we win on November 6, it'll be because people like you stepped up to contribute and fund this grassroots campaign. No PACs, no corporations. Just people.

I'm so grateful for each of you,

7 days to go -- here’s what you need to know:

Beto for Texas

First, I just want to thank you, Jason. Because of your support, we've achieved things no one thought possible when we first launched our campaign to elect Beto. Now, with just 7 days left, I have to make an important request that could mean the difference between winning and losing.

Everything comes down to what we do this final week. The only way we push Beto over the finish line is through meaningful, person-to-person conversations with Texas voters.

That's why I'm talking to voters every waking moment that I can, and why I hope you will too.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Breaking: Cruz only "ahead by inches"

Beto for Texas

Jason,

Quinnipiac just released a new poll in our race to take on Ted Cruz. From their last poll in early October to today, we've significantly closed the gap -- gaining four points in a little over two weeks.

Now, according to Quinnipiac, Cruz is only "ahead by inches." With just days to go until Election Day, we need to give everything we've got and more to push Beto over the top. So we're asking:

Can you rush another donation of $10 or more to Beto's campaign today? Help us capture this momentum and surpass Cruz.

Contribute $10 »

This weekend, we broke the news that our incredible volunteers and organizers have knocked on more than 1 million doors across Texas since we began our 'get out the vote' push -- and their hard work is making a measurable difference in this race.

It's been proven that the #1 way to actually increase voter turnout is person-to-person conversations with voters. And thanks to your support, our team is reaching more voters than any campaign ever has in Texas history. We have to get more resources to them ASAP.

That's why it's so critical we reach our FINAL end-of-month fundraising goal. If we fall short, we'll need to reconsider how hard we fight during the home stretch of the campaign. At a time when this entire election is on the line.

We can't fall short -- not after everything we've done. Can you pitch in another donation to help us reach our goal?

More than 1 million doors knocked. "Inches" between Beto and Cruz. 8 days to go. Let's leave it all on the field. Let's win this.

You’re in the right place

Beto for Texas

Jason,

A statistic from a recent poll conducted by the Texas Politics project might surprise you: in years past, registered Independents in Texas have historically voted for Republicans. But in our race, Independents prefer Beto to Ted Cruz by 12 whole points.

This is huge news -- and further proof of all our hard work paying off. Beto has been inviting millions of people of all backgrounds into our historic campaign for U.S. Senate.

In order to contact millions of Texas voters and get them to the polls, Beto's campaign relies on grassroots donations -- many from emails just like this one. So we're asking: can you step up again today with a donation of $10 or more to power us for these final 8 days?

Contribute $10 »

Like Beto often says at his rallies, "If you're a Democrat, you're in the right place. If you're a Republican, you're in the right place. If you're an Independent, you're in the right place."

We care about whether you want to do right by your neighbor, and right by Texas. And if you do, you're in the right place.

Beto is counting on each of us to step up as much as we can in these final days to push him over the top. Can we count on you to give another contribution of $10 to help Beto reach the FINAL end-of-month goal of this campaign?

Thanks,

Team Beto

1 MILLION!!!

Beto for Texas

Jason,

I wanted to be sure you saw the news: as of yesterday, volunteers across Texas have knocked on ONE MILLION DOORS since our 'get the vote' for Beto program began only a few short weeks ago. And supporters have made more than 8.5 million calls!

But we're not easing off the gas -- far from it. Next weekend, November 3 and 4, is our final weekend of action to 'get out the vote' for Beto before Election Day. I'm asking you to host a phone bank and make calls to as many Texas voters as possible to get them to the polls.

Host a phone bank for Beto

If you can't host a phone bank, you can still help by contributing $10 to help push Beto to victory.

With just 9 days to go, everything comes down to this final home stretch. Together, we've built the largest grassroots field operation in the nation. And it's working: at this moment, Texas is seeing record voter turnout. In many of our state's 254 counties, more Texans have voted early than in the entirety of 2014's early voting period.

But whether Beto wins or loses comes down to what each of us does these final days. So let's give it everything we've got.

Thank you so much for being part of this,

Alexandria Sousa

Record. Breaking. Voter. Turnout.

Beto for Texas

Jason,

Last night, we got some incredible news: since we launched our 'get out the vote' efforts in early October, our amazing organizing team has knocked on over ONE MILLION doors in Texas.

The latest polls have Ted Cruz barely leading by just a few points, and now we're seeing record-breaking voter turnout -- making the uncertainty of the outcome even greater. We need to get more Beto supporters out to the polls, and every door you knock and every dollar you give helps us connect with even more voters.

Please make another $10 contribution right now to help us get as many Beto voters to the polls as possible in this election. Every single contribution matters in this close race.

Contribute $10 »

Every single person who's supporting Beto is helping rewrite history -- including you. Together, we're changing the face of the electorate in Texas, inviting millions of new people to participate in our democracy.

Our equation to win is simple: we need to reach even more Texas voters in these final 9 days. That means we need our volunteers and our organizers to keep knocking on doors, making calls and sending texts. And we need to keep Beto out on the road, meeting face-to-face with every last Texan he can.

The outcome of this election could truly go either way. For us to win, we cannot afford to fall short of our end-of-month fundraising goal -- and we mean this. That's why we have to ask again.

If you can afford to, dig deep and pitch in another contribution of $10 to our record-breaking, history-making campaign for U.S. Senate. We've only got 9 days to close this narrow gap.

Everything we do in these final 9 days will make a difference.

Team Beto
