In #TX10, the immigration policies of the incumbent led me to run for Congress in 2018. McCaul was considered “safe,” but his actions--like supporting the Muslim Ban and family separation--made us profoundly unsafe.

He's due for early retirement. (1/7) secure.actblue.com/donate/siegel-…

in 2017, as a city attorney in Austin, I helped lead the fight against #SB4, a terrible “show me your papers” law.

The fight was inspirational. The big cities joined together. We won major court battles. And we showed that Texas is not a red state. (2/7) austinchronicle.com/news/2017-06-3…

As Homeland Security Chair, McCaul was complicit in terrible atrocities.

And he took the worst kind of corporate money: donations from private prisons.

I refuse corporate PAC donations. I don’t think anyone should profit from human misery. #TX10 (3/7) dallasnews.com/news/politics/…

At the 2018 convention, my campaign leaned into our grassroots spirit and changed the state party platform.

After an intense signature-gathering effort, we got TDP to oppose family separation and the use of private prisons for immigration detention. (4/7) texastribune.org/2018/06/23/fou…

Meanwhile, McCaul used his position to force private detention centers to fill every bed.

Instead of promoting America as a beacon of hope and freedom, McCaul demonizes immigrants and profits from their pain. He’s got to go. #TX10 (5/7) thinkprogress.org/millions-spent…

At the core, the 2020 elections are a struggle about the kind of America we want to see.

I am fighting for a welcoming nation that treats migrants with dignity.

McCaul supported a government shutdown to demand a hateful, wasteful Wall.

Let’s send him packing. #TX10 (6/7)

The Texas 10th is a national battleground district.

When I started in 2017, this was a “strong Republican” seat.

We made this happen with a grassroots movement. Help me finish the job – and elect a progressive voice in 2020! (7/7) secure.actblue.com/donate/siegel-…
