3. I'm getting ready to send another donation

I have sent him a few donations because even if he doesn't win, I like what he does - for example, his actions during the grid failure were outstanding

4. Agree with your strategy. Even if a candidate isn't expected to win, there is the occasional upset

And it takes guts to put yourself out there day after day swimming upstream against these creeps. They deserve our support!

5. He really has all the bases covered, I agree. Abbott has done nothing

He's all words, no action. His solutions are "taking rapists off the streets" and he has done nothing to ensure there's not another grid failure. Not to mention, he continues to support the NRA in allowing "weapons of war." Beto has a plan and is already taking action!

In fact he joined the NRA convention right after the Uvalde shooting in which 19 young children and 2 teachers died - to support continuing to allow the weapons of war which killed those residents to remain legal and available to 18-year-olds!
