Ted Cruz and Steve King

Beto for Texas

Jason,

We got some disturbing news this week: Ted Cruz called Steve King -- Cruz's former Presidential Campaign Co-Chair -- to double down on his support of the Congressman. This news comes as bipartisan leaders across the country are united in condemning King's divisive and hateful rhetoric.

Even the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, Rep. Steve Stivers, took extraordinary steps to publicly condemn King, saying "Congressman Steve King's recent comments, actions, and retweets are completely inappropriate. We must stand up against white supremacy and hate in all forms, and I strongly condemn this behavior."

I'll be blunt: it should be easy to condemn Steve King. But for some reason, Cruz can't bring himself to do it.

Ted Cruz is not fit to lead Texas, and right now we have an opportunity to unseat him for good. I'm calling on you to rush another $10 contribution to Beto's campaign today and help us defeat Ted Cruz in just four short days.

Beto for Texas

Not only is Cruz refusing to join members of both parties in condemning his former presidential co-chair's actions but he's doubling down on his support.

Texas deserves better. We deserve a senator who will fight for and represent everyone in our state instead of fueling divisions at a time when we need to come together. 

Can you pitch in another contribution of $10 or more to Beto's campaign today? With just four days to go until the election, the polls are closing and millions of new Texans are voting -- let's send Beto to fight for our values in the Senate.

Thanks for standing on the right side of history.

Talk soon,

The. Field. Margin.

Beto for Texas

We have an edge. It's scientifically proven to work. And we're doing it bigger than any campaign in Texas history.

I'm talking about our historic field program, Jason. Our amazing volunteers are on pace to knock two million doors in our GOTV effort. And these conversations are working: voter turnout is at an all-time high.

Beto believes in the power of people talking to people. That's why he's invested significant campaign resources into organizing. Beto has hundreds of field staff, college fellows and thousands of volunteers! It takes a lot of money, and it's why we are asking again:

Can you chip in another $10 to expand our field effort to turn out every single Beto supporter in these last few days? We've set a $3.5 million goal to ensure we reach every voter.

Beto for Texas

In a close election like this one, a good field program with dedicated volunteers can close the gap a handful of percentage points (the so-called "field margin") by turning out additional voters.

There's been a lot of attention on Beto's fundraising. Most candidates spend their campaign money on consultants who tell them what to say and how to act. But Beto is doing something radically different: spending money to get as many Texans talking to Texans as humanly possible.

"Though we haven't taken a dime from a single PAC, we've been very fortunate the number of Texans who stepped forward -- five, ten, 15 bucks at a time -- they are funding the largest field program that you've ever seen in this state."
- BETO O'ROURKE

Add another contribution of $10 or more now to help us fund our historic field effort -- more than 800 staff on the ground and tens of thousands of amazing volunteers.

From the very beginning, we've always believed that a people-powered campaign was the only vehicle that would assure us victory. Four days out, I believe that now more than ever.

Onward,

Zack Malitz
Field Director

In the closing days of this campaign

Beto for Texas

Jason,

I've spent the last 13 days of early voting in every part of the state. We've held more than 60 events, from rallies in Austin, Round Rock and San Antonio, to big gatherings in Amarillo, Lubbock and Wichita Falls. We've been with you in East Texas, Lufkin, Longview, Tyler. And North Texas too: Midlothian, Dallas, Fort Worth, Irving and Denton. 

Yesterday, I was in Corpus Christi, Robstown, Raymondville and Brownsville. So much energy, so many people who've voted and are now committed to getting everyone in their lives to vote as well.

Everywhere we go, people come up to me and say "This is the first time I've ever voted, and I'm voting for you!" Or "I took my mom to vote in her first midterm election!" More than a few have told me that they've never voted for a Democrat before, but this year they are. Not because of my party, but because of the chance we all have to do something big for this country at this critical moment.  

It seems to reflect the early voting totals that show Texans are voting at nearly the same levels as the last presidential election.

In the closing days of this campaign (there are just four days left!!) I am going to make sure that I reach every last newly registered voter; every voter who typically sits out a midterm; every voter who knows that at this point our political party can no longer define us. I'm going to give them the opportunity to vote with us in the election of our lifetime. 

I'm going to need your help. Please contribute to ensure that we have the resources to bring in more block-walkers, keep our ads running on more TV stations, connect with more voters in every one of the 254 counties.

We can win this if we all do everything we can, with what we have at this very moment. 

Counting on you!

Thank you,

Beto

Millions of conversations

Beto for Texas

Jason,

For more than a year, our field team and volunteers have contacted and identified millions of Beto supporters across Texas. Now, something amazing is happening. We're watching as these people actually get out and cast their ballots for Beto!

Every morning, the Texas Secretary of State lists out all the registered voters who voted early. From this data, we can see which of our supporters voted. And the numbers are really encouraging.

I really need you to see just how close this race is right now. Out of the early votes cast in the last 11 days, hundreds of thousands of our ID'd Beto supporters have already cast their ballots. We know exactly who has voted and more importantly who said they were supporting Beto in this election.

There are lots of new voters that no one expected to show up! Beto showed up and so have they, in record numbers. That doesn't count the many more who voted for Beto but weren't in our database.

It's SO close, Jason. We're setting one final fundraising goal of $3.5 million by the time the polls close on Election Day to fund last-minute advertising to drive up our vote count. This is urgent:

Please rush another contribution of $10 to Beto right now to help us reach our FINAL campaign fundraising goal. It's extremely likely that this race comes down to just a few thousand votes. Your contribution will make a difference.

A race for Senate in Texas hasn't been this close in forty years.

5 days left. Let's make history together.

I am writing to ask if you would make a $3 contribution

Beto for Texas

Beto for Texas

We weren't expecting this -- but I can't say I'm that surprised. With the polls tightening closer and closer, a super PAC funded by Sheldon Adelson just dropped more than half a million dollars behind ads attacking Beto. That kind of money works quickly. We need to fight back -- fast.

Unlike Senator Cruz, Beto doesn't have PACs waiting in the wings, ready to drop millions attacking our opponent. Our campaign relies on grassroots donations from real people -- many in response to emails like the one you're reading right now.

That's why I'm writing today. If you can afford to, can you give another contribution of $10 or more to help us reach our FINAL fundraising goal? We need to raise $3.5 million before polls close on Election Day -- just 5 short days away.

I know we ask a lot of you -- but trust me, I wouldn't be asking if I didn't think we could rise up and meet this challenge.

Thanks for helping us set the record straight. Talk soon,

The most despicable attack ad yet

Beto for Texas

Jason, this is urgent: a brand-new poll from Emerson this morning shows Beto tailing Cruz by just three points. Senator Cruz's campaign (and the eleven outside groups that are backing him up) are looking at the same numbers.

That's why, last night, a super PAC dropped the most despicable attack ad yet in this race. They're running scared -- and they know Cruz might lose.

With just 5 days until Election Day, we need to fight back against this attack with everything we've got. We're setting a FINAL fundraising goal for this campaign: $3.5 million from grassroots donations before the polls close on Election Day. Click here to rush another contribution of $10 or more today to help us get a jump-start on our goal.

Beto for Texas

Unlike Cruz, Beto doesn't rely on super PACs and nasty attacks. We know this team has what it takes to rise up to meet this challenge head-on, not just for Beto, not just for Texas -- but for the future of our country.

Let's go.
