Everything is bigger in Texas, including a big opportunity to remove John Cornyn from the U.S. Senate and replace him with veteran MJ Hegar. This is a real possibility given the fact Cornyn has a lower approval rating than Ted Cruz.
The Lone Star State is also in play for the Presidential election. If Democrats were able to pull off a win in Texas, a massive 38 electoral votes would flip to Joe Biden and almost guarantee a victory.
If all of this isn’t reason enough to help in Texas, Democrats only need 9 seats in the State House to flip it blue. We can only accomplish these feats with your help. We need you to adopt Texas by contributing your skills, talents, and voice to our mission.
