@DeedsActionFund @naraltx @PPTXVotes @texrising 2/ #SucioLucio has a well-known record of supporting discrimination against LGBTQ+ Texans, opposing women’s right to make their own reproductive health care decisions, and scheming to take money away from public schools. #txlege #RGV

3/ #SucioLucio was the only Democrat to support Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s transphobic “bathroom bill” and other legislation to justify discrimination against LGBTQ+ Texans. #txlege #RGV

6/ @DeedsActionFund @utrgv Campus Organizers say, "Lucio has proven that he is nothing but absent representation for the changing and growing people of the RGV — and instead represents his own personal interests and those in which lines his pockets." #SucioLucio #RGV #txlege

@DeedsActionFund @utrgv 7/ @naraltx Executive Director @TexanHispasian says, "Senator Lucio has been the extremist right’s trusted anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ+ vote for over 30 years, hurting his own community of the Rio Grande Valley the hardest in the process." #SucioLucio #txlege #RGV

@DeedsActionFund @utrgv @naraltx @TexanHispasian 8/ @PPTXVotes #RGV Youth Organizer Aileen Garza says, "Lucio has earned a reputation in the Texas Senate for doing the dirty work of extremist politicians like Dan Patrick and Greg Abbott." #SucioLucio #txlege

@DeedsActionFund @utrgv @naraltx @TexanHispasian @PPTXVotes 9/ @texrising Action Director @InitialRae says, "Lucio has spent decades in the Senate voting with politicians like Dan Patrick to pass laws to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people and make it harder for women to get the reproductive health care they need." #RGV #SucioLucio #txlege

@DeedsActionFund @utrgv @naraltx @TexanHispasian @PPTXVotes @texrising @InitialRae 10/ @ProgressTX Comms Manager @tarapohlmeyer says, "As someone who grew up in the Valley, I’m ready to see residents vote for strong, progressive candidates who represent a future where everyone is able to thrive." #SucioLucio #RGV #txlege

11/ Today, this race made the @TexasTribune's Hot List for the March Primary.

@SenatorLucio, you're on notice and #RGV residents are ready to vote for someone who fights for ALL Texans. #SucioLucio #txlege #RGV
