Today is my 46th birthday! A “normal” candidate would post a link asking for birthday donations. And I’m going to.
But not for me.
For my birthday this year, my wish is nothing more than for us to give @GinaHinojosaTX a fighting chance.
As a mom in Texas, I know on a visceral level the way that Greg Abbott has destroyed our state. The last 12 years have been a race to the bottom in almost every measurable metric except those that enrich his donors.
For the future of Texas, and for the future of my kids and ALL Texas children, please consider giving Gina whatever you can afford to give.

They already cut 92 polling places. They're trying to make it harder to vote.
So let's make it impossible for them to stop us.
Here are the dates you need to know for this election 👇 – at Fort Worth, TX

Texas farmers should be free to grow hemp, and Texas adults should be free to buy it.
Let farmers farm. Test it, label it, keep bad actors out, and stop burying a growing Texas industry in red tape.
It’s time to put Texas farmers and consumers first.

Hey Texas, let's not forget that Dan Patrick is also on the ballot this year.
This is the man screaming on your TV to restrict transgender athletes from competing in sports. I know that most of you haven't lost any sleep worrying about this, but it's all he's got.
He's also the guy who made vapes and certain THC products a felony. With God's help, of course.
He's running for his fourth term and I know I've had enough. If we're gonna turn Texas blue, let's go all the way.
Let's give @VikkiGoodwinTX a shot, shall we?
Her campaign focuses on affordability, public schools, health care, housing, water and energy. She’s talked about expanding Medicaid, raising teacher pay, and boosting affordable housing.
And last but not least, she supports legalizing and regulating THC with age limits. She’s described it as treating THC more like alcohol... legal, regulated and taxed.

Since Greg Abbott has been in office, property taxes have gone up 75%. While I lowered taxes for Texans on the school board, Abbott’s recapture payments became a de facto state property tax we're paying.
The only person gaslighting Texans is Greg Abbott.

The Talarico campaign is not fucking around
#TXSen: D candidate James Talarico is up on TV with this spot --
Nick Schatzki voiceover:
"Ken Paxton's corruption endangers our kids. We don't need any more pedophile protectors in Washington"
It's almost time for a MASSIVE SIT In!
Some ground isn’t for building on.
Arlington National Cemetery is the final resting place of more than 400,000 service members and their families. A 250-foot arch, with a tourist observation deck, would go up at its entrance, changing that ground forever.
Families bury their dead there every weekday. Construction could run three years, 20 hours a day, close to those services.
Veterans are in federal court right now trying to stop it. Before the commission votes, you can help:
→ File a public comment with the commission
→ Call your representative and your senators
→ Share this
This isn’t about politics. It’s about letting a burial ground stay a burial ground. @OfTheBraveUSA

Started Labor Day off strong with the good people of El Paso CLU!
Texas needs an Attorney General who ensures that the labor market is a MARKET — and that it’s not rigged against labor, through AI, wage theft, anti-competitive practices or anything else.

MAGA Tarrant Co Judge Tim O'Hare thinks ramming poll closures down voters throats suppresses minority vote & greases the skids for him. He's wrong. He set off a blaring alarm waking up & mobilizing voters of all ethnicities & both parties - against him.

They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. My Republican colleagues on the Commissioners Court just said it plainly for everyone to hear:
Their redistricting scam was just that. An attempt to cheat their way into a supermajority.
It’s time to take our County back.

Rep. @JamesTalarico stood with me in Arlington to fight an effort to cut 92 polling sites — nearly a third of Election Day locations.
“Nothing terrifies them more than people who show up to vote and people who show up to hold elected officials accountable.”
He’s right.
The GOP majority on the Commissioners Court are counting on an empty room tomorrow morning. So let’s fill it.
Flipping Texas on November 3rd starts in Tarrant County, and they know it.
That’s why they are playing games: redistricting our maps, and now closing our polling places.
Stand with us >>
Sign our petition at VoteAlisa.com and tell the Commissioners Court you will not be silenced.
