Texas is a big state. There are over 13 million registered voters, representing
every perspective you can think of — and we’re registering
new voters every day.
Our democracy is better when all of those voices are heard.
This morning, on a call with Democratic allies and our volunteers across the state, our campaign unveiled our Voter Protection Program for the fall. We’re going to fight to make sure every eligible Texan has access to the polls. It includes four major priorities:
- Make Registering Easy: It’s critical our volunteers are trained in voter registration rules so they can efficiently help voters get registered.
- Educate Voters: Our communications efforts -- on the air, on the ground, and online -- are top-notch. We’re going to use that network to make sure every voter knows how to successfully cast a ballot.
- Promote Early Voting: Early voting in Texas starts in less than 90 days. For any Texan able to do so, we want them to vote early. In October, we will launch a statewide Election Protection Hotline to monitor irregularities in in-person early voting and will place well-trained volunteers at the polls.
- Protecting the Vote on Election Day: From having volunteers at the polls to answer questions to setting up command centers across the state, we’re planning a massive Election Day operation to ensure voters can make their voices heard.
But in order to run our program effectively and make sure every vote counts, we need your help to fund these grassroots efforts. Help us reach our $350,000 goal before July ends. Contribute $5.
I believe that every eligible Texan should be able to vote. When lawmakers tried to redraw the lines of my State Senate district,
disenfranchising African American and Latino voters, I fought back. We
took the case all the way to the Supreme Court and won.
When the unfair voter identification law came before us in the state legislature,
I did all that I could to fight the unjustifiable barriers to Texans'
right to vote.
In our democracy, every voice matters. I’ve been fighting for access to the polls my entire career -- and
I will not to let up now.
Our Voter Protection Program cannot be successful without the grassroots
support on the ground -- and it cannot happen without your help, Richie.
Help us fund our ground operations in Texas. Give $5 or more toward our
$350,000 goal.
Thank you so much for your support. Let’s make sure every vote counts
in this election!
