To defeat Trump & the Texas GOP, we need big organizing.

So this campaign has built an unstoppable coalition — to make 100s of 1000s of voter contacts & send @RepMcCaul to early retirement.

We've won every competitive endorsement in #TX10!

A thread to describe this coalition:

@RepMcCaul @CWAUnion @NUHW @sunrisemvmt @WorkingFamilies @BoldProgressive @BrandNew535 @JoltAction @cleanh2oaction @TexasAFLCIO @OurRevolution Political change starts with local organizing. We are honored to have the support of every Democratic club in Austin & Houston in this race.

These include @Area5Dems, the oldest Democratic club in Texas, and Democrats from across Austin and Travis County! #SiegelForTexas

@RepMcCaul @CWAUnion @NUHW @sunrisemvmt @WorkingFamilies @BoldProgressive @BrandNew535 @JoltAction @cleanh2oaction @TexasAFLCIO @OurRevolution @Area5Dems Winning in Texas requires a broad, multi-racial, multi-ethnic coalition.

We are honored to have the support of @BADATXDemocrats, with members engaged across #TX10.

And we are honored to have the endorsement of @JoltAction, the largest progressive Latino organization in Texas!

@RepMcCaul @CWAUnion @NUHW @sunrisemvmt @WorkingFamilies @BoldProgressive @BrandNew535 @JoltAction @cleanh2oaction @TexasAFLCIO @OurRevolution @Area5Dems @BADATXDemocrats Building a movement to combat climate change is our most important task.

This campaign is fighting hard for a #GreenNewDeal.

Thank you @sunrisemvmt, @350action, & Austin Environmental Dems for your endorsements, and for your leadership on behalf of our planet! #TX10

@RepMcCaul @CWAUnion @NUHW @sunrisemvmt @WorkingFamilies @BoldProgressive @BrandNew535 @JoltAction @cleanh2oaction @TexasAFLCIO @OurRevolution @Area5Dems @BADATXDemocrats @350action This week we also announced a new major environmental endorsement, from @cleanh2oaction!

Here in #TX10, we have a major coal plant in Fayette County, and unregulated fracking throughout the district. The fight for clean water is essential, and unites rural and urban voters.

@RepMcCaul @CWAUnion @NUHW @sunrisemvmt @WorkingFamilies @BoldProgressive @BrandNew535 @JoltAction @cleanh2oaction @TexasAFLCIO @OurRevolution @Area5Dems @BADATXDemocrats @350action Young voters are an essential part of our coalition.

We've made the fight against voter suppression—which often targets young voters—a key part of this campaign.

We are honored to be doing this work with @UDems, @JoltAction & @AustinYoungDems! #TX10 #SiegelForTexas

@RepMcCaul @CWAUnion @NUHW @sunrisemvmt @WorkingFamilies @BoldProgressive @BrandNew535 @JoltAction @cleanh2oaction @TexasAFLCIO @OurRevolution @Area5Dems @BADATXDemocrats @350action @UDems @AustinYoungDems The fight for equality continues. Each year the Texas GOP targets a vulnerable community for their cynical political gain.

As a parent of an LGBTQIA child, as a member of this growing, loving community, I'm honored to have the support of @StonewallAustin & @HGLBTCaucus! #TX10

@RepMcCaul @CWAUnion @NUHW @sunrisemvmt @WorkingFamilies @BoldProgressive @BrandNew535 @JoltAction @cleanh2oaction @TexasAFLCIO @OurRevolution @Area5Dems @BADATXDemocrats @350action @UDems @AustinYoungDems @StonewallAustin @HGLBTCaucus One of our recent endorsements is from the Texas Democrats with Disabilities caucus, @TXDisabledDems!

When we are talking about protecting public education, enacting a living wage, or winning #MedicareForAll, we must center the voices of voters with disabilities.

Thanks y'all!

My mother was a machinist with @MachinistsUnion, my father a labor lawyer. I'm a two-time member myself, as a teacher and city worker.

I'm honored to have the endorsement of @TexasAFLCIO and numerous individual unions! #TX10
