did you see this news about turnout?

Good morning from Houston! Wanted to ask a quick question -- did you see this news from the Texas Tribune?

This is just one of many headlines about the historic spikes in voter turnout across Texas. And Jason, it's not just huge turnout -- this year, we're changing who shows up to vote. Since day one of our campaign, Beto has inspired millions of NEW voters to join our movement, and thanks to you, this race is within the margin of error.

Now, with just 9 days to go, we need to push harder than ever before to close the gap and win. Beto's been asking how close we are to reaching our end-of-month goal -- and I want to share good news with him before tonight's all-staff campaign meeting.

Click here to give another contribution today if you can afford to. We'll put it to use and reach voters across Texas.

Talk soon,

Chris Evans

Closing the gap in this race

"This group in Texas has a Dem share of 53.7% -- the kind of voters Beto needs to have a chance to win. The Democratic Base share of returners in Texas to-date is only 0.4 points behind the Republican Base share." Catalist Absentee & Early Vote Snapshot | October 26

Jason,

The data science firm Catalist shared some exciting numbers yesterday: of votes cast so far in Texas during early voting, as you can see above, it's close. Really close.

Texas isn't a "red" or a "blue" state: it's a non-voting state. And when more voters show up at the polls, Texas is competitive. We can win this race -- but only if we get every single Beto supporter out to the polls to vote.

Can Beto count on you to make another contribution right now? Help us reach as many Beto voters as possible and get them to the polls.

This weekend, October 27 and 28, is the ONLY weekend Texans can vote early. Right now, thousands of volunteers are in communities across Texas knocking on doors, and helping Beto supporters make a plan to vote.

Polls have shown Beto within the margin of error -- but Catalist's analysis of the votes already cast show it even closer.

This race is going to be incredibly close -- among the closest in the country. With enough work in these final few days, we can close the narrowing gap.

Thanks for being a donor to Beto's campaign. We couldn't be this close to winning without your support. Can you give another $10 contribution to help us reach more Beto voters in these final days?

Thanks,

Team Beto

Who got us to where we are today:

Jason,

From the beginning of this campaign, we refused to take even a single penny from special interest PACs or corporations. Some people thought that was a mistake. They said we'd never be able to compete with the influx of big-money donors. But we proved them wrong.

Thanks to all of you -- each of our grassroots supporters -- we're within inches of pulling off one of the greatest upsets in Texas electoral history. It's all thanks to people like those on the list below, giving just a little bit each time. We've set a reasonable goal for the end of this month, but we're not there yet.

Is your name on the list of contributions for our end-of-month goal? If not, can you add another contribution of $10 or more right now to help us reach our target?

Contribute $10 »

This race will be extremely close. Beto could win or lose by just a few thousand votes. That's why every dollar we raise together right now is so important.

Become one of our October end-of-month donors right now before our deadline on October 31 by making another $10 contribution.

Thanks again for allowing us to run this race the right way -- by the people and for the people.

Before you start your day

Hi Jason,

This morning, Beto and our team were up early to get ready for our first few 'get out the vote with Beto' rallies. With just 10 days to go until Election Day, every single hour is precious.

We're about to head out and start a full day of rallies to meet with hundreds of incredible Texans who are helping build our momentum. Between historic early voting turnout and new polls that put Beto within the margin of error, Texans across the state are inspired to believe in us.

And we can't let them down. That's why we need you to chip in another $10 contribution, or whatever you can, to help us build on that momentum.

Contribute $10 »

The energy on the ground at each of these events is electric. Thousands of Texans are gathering together to get to work for their community, their state, our democracy -- united by a common vision in a brighter future for each of us.

Right now, our organizing team is preparing to pull off another historic weekend of action with an incredible goal to knock on 400,000 doors this weekend. But they need our help to support our volunteers, organize our pop-up offices and keep our historic campaign running.

Every dollar we get helps us recruit more volunteers, get them the supplies they need and meet more voters on their doorsteps. Can you chip in another $10 and help us show the country what we're capable of?

That's all the time I have, we need to get a head start -- because no matter how much extra time we budget into these stops, Beto always ends up staying a little later to talk to just one more supporter.

Thanks for listening -- see you on the road!

They never expected this

Jason,

The latest polls have Ted Cruz narrowly leading by just a few points. It's so close that a big push now could tip the scales in our favor. But something the pollsters never expected is happening right here in Texas: totally abnormal, crazy-big, record-breaking voter turnout.

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

Contribute $10 »

Polls of likely voters are weighted based on turnout in the last midterm. In 2014, 4.7 million voters cast a ballot. Based on early voting numbers, we're on track to blow that out of the water.

More importantly, we're not just boosting turnout. We're changing who shows up to vote. Beto is inspiring millions of new voters to join our movement at the polls.

This election is a true toss-up. We need to hit our final end-of-month fundraising goal to be able to fully fund the field and advertising efforts that will bring us a win on November 6. That's why we have to ask again.

Can you chip in another contribution of $10 or more to help push Beto over the line?

When Beto kicked off his campaign for U.S. Senate, pundits on both sides of the aisle said he didn't stand a chance. Then, we built the largest grassroots campaign in the nation. Now, we're on the verge of a massive upset. These final few days are critical.

Quick update on early vote numbers in Texas

Jason,

It's day four of early voting here in Texas. We're getting lots of interesting data coming back to the campaign. Here's a high-level overview:

1. We broke the record for early voting turnout in a midterm. About as many Texans are voting early as they do in presidential elections. This is a really good sign for Beto.
   
   
2. Polls have Beto within the margin of error -- it's going to be CLOSE.
   
   
3. We need to turn out more young voters. Young voters usually vote on weekends when they're off of school and work. We can pick up our pace if we make a really big push this weekend.

Jason, this election could be decided by a handful of votes. Given how close this is, we need to increase our investment in "get out the vote" advertising to Beto supporters -- especially young voters.

Can you chip in again right now to our targeted advertising to get out Beto voters? Your donations right now could mean the difference between victory and defeat.

It's absolutely critical that we reach our end-of-month fundraising goal. Right now is the time our investments will make the biggest difference. That's why your donation right now means so much.

Thanks for all your support,

Team Beto

Critical information

Jason,

Together, our grassroots network has accomplished so much -- but today, I need to share some critical information with you.

You know we've raised a lot of money for this race -- but Jason, I'm telling you right now: we can't slow down. Even though the official reports show that our campaign is out-raising Cruz's, this doesn't take into account all the money from the eleven super PACs backing Cruz. We don't exactly know how much they have, but we know that it's millions.

What's going to matter in the last days of this campaign -- what's going to cut through the noise of all the negative ads and crazy tweets -- is the same thing that always has: people talking to people. Our path to electing Beto is made possible by people, not PACs. So what our work looks like from now through November 6 is by no means run-of-the-mill. And it's the most ambitious project that I've ever been part of.

I want you to know exactly what we're doing between now and November 6 to elect Beto -- and I want to ask you to help fund it before October 31, when the month is out.

Contribute $10 »

Because your contributions mean so much to us, I want you to know exactly where the money is being spent. Here's our plan: 

• Execute the largest 'get out the vote' organizing operation in Texas history. There's never been such a massive or sophisticated field program like this one in the state of Texas. It's one of the largest of its kind for a US Senate race. Hundreds of field staff are working day and night to support thousands of volunteers who are contacting millions of voters. And we're using the most advanced tactics and technology to do it.

• Make sure Beto's positive vision reaches millions of Texans online and via TV ads. Eleven outside groups are spending millions attacking Beto with negative ads to try to mislead voters. We need to keep countering their attacks across all 20 media markets in Texas and online. 

• Mobilize historic numbers of young people to vote and volunteer. Young Texans are on the front lines, leading the fight for our values -- and they have the power to help swing this election. No political pollster would tell Beto to campaign on college campuses -- but we're engaging with and organizing alongside thousands of young people who are volunteering and voting for Beto.
  

• Lead and support thousands of organizing events between now and November 6. There will be huge numbers of phone banks all across Texas. There will be rallies and town halls. And there will be unprecedented levels of door-knocking events in all 254 counties of Texas, including this weekend when we're knocking on 400,000 doors. 

We rely 100% on people like you, contributing via emails like this one, to power these efforts.

When we win this November, not only will we be able to make huge progress toward a future that works for all of us (in Texas and for the country) -- but we will also set a precedent that it's possible to win an election without selling out. 

If this is a path that you believe in, we need your help to fund it. We have an important deadline at the end of this month, and we're about $250,000 short of the amount we need to cover our costs.

Thank you for everything so far,

Jody Casey
Campaign Manager
