to flip the Texas House of Representatives. "This is where it all starts", he says and he is quite correct.

I know he will be up here in the Fort Worth area to support the 5 State House candidates who are in a position to flip their districts. These are districts which went for Beto and came within single digits of flipping in 2018. If all our voters had voted straight ticket, many of them would have won.

We have outstanding candidates, and Beto's efforts will help get out the vote. If we have that vote, we will flip. Other Democrats on those ballots will also benefit, and we have candidates up and down the ballot.
