You know you’re on the right track when the National Republican Campaign Committee calls you out sixteen months before the election.
Last year they ignored me. This year they want to insult me—but instead just spill the beans, showing what they are scared of. #TX10 (1/6)
The #1 rule of Republican 2020 campaigning: every Democrat is a “socialist.”
They think using that word will stop us from fighting for healthcare for every American; for a national jobs program; for good schools and a sustainable environment.
They’re wrong. #siegelfortexas (2/)
The 2nd attack is “loser.”
Of course, if they thought I was a loser, why would the NRCC bother designing a PR strategy against me? #TX10 (3/)
The 3rd is “home to the Bay Area.”
They got me: I grew up in Oakland; I taught there. I visit my family and friends, who support me.
And isn’t that an American Dream? No matter where we are born or who our parents are, my family can move to Texas and build a better future. (4/)
The last is nice publicity!
I’m honored to work with @BLeeForCongress, the only Congressperson to oppose the 2001 AUMF. Today many have joined her stand against endless war.
And I’m thankful for the support of @mrdannyglover, who devotes his life to social justice work. (5/)
The NRCC won’t scare me from fighting for the people of the Texas 10th.
This campaign is about equal opportunity and social justice. Healthcare and good jobs. Protecting the planet and our future.
Join me today at siegelfortexas.org. #TX10 #SiegelforTexas (6/)
