There's some great news re: down ballot races in TX.

Texas? Yes, TX is competitive for #NotMeUs & Our Bern-effect is real.

Last nite was rough but we need to Fight On!

Here are some highlights from TX.
BIG WIN HERE.
@AdrBell rec'd 62% in #TX14 to move on to Gen Election for a rematch against GOP incumbent.

This is a chance to flip Red to #ProgBlue and expand Progressive Representation in The House.

She'll need grassroots funding to beat the GOPer.

In #TX10 @SiegelForTexas placed 1st in Dem Primary & that's something we can ALL celebrate.

Mike got 44% so he faces a runoff May 26 against 2nd place finisher who had 33%.

In the GE Mike will face GOP incumbent for a chance to flip to #ProgBlue.

@RussellFosterTX ran uncontested so he's in the General with a chance to flip #TX04 from Red to #ProgBlue

Russell is an everyday person who is standing up to fight for #BigUs

He has a great story on his donation page linked here

#TX25 featured 2 Progressives vying to represent Austin and Hill Country.

@JulieOliverTX beat @HeidiSloanForTX 70/30 and she'll face a GOP incumbent w/a real chance to turn Red to #ProgBlue.

#TX31 There's a RunOff w/2 Advocates for Single-Payer HC.

@donnaimamTX closed impressively on @DrChristineMann to force May 26.

Either would be a massive improvement over the GOP incumbent.

Donna is more aligned with #NotMeUs so she gets the nod here: secure.actblue.com/donate/donnaim…
#TX13 now features a RunOff with Greg Sagan (no Twitter handle) placing 2nd in the Primary.

Greg ran in 2018 and now he's competitive in 2020.

If he makes it to the General he'll face the winner of the GOP RunOff for this open House seat.
Now for the hard news. @JCisnerosTX lost to DINO incumbent Henry Cuellar by less than 4% of the #TX28 vote.

Pelosi endorsed and visited TX on behalf of Cuellar and The Koch Network actively worked on Cuellar's behalf.

She still barely lost.

She'll win 2022 if she runs again.
Sans edit button I'm adding this for Greg.

Like too many US families, mine desperately needs #MedicareForAll to alleviate stress of providing unpaid care to a family member w/a chronic disease.

GoFundMe helps but we are $50k in debt & I've had no respite for years. ACA is bankrupting us.

@donnaimamTX's approach is best.
In other words, incrementalism won't save Americans fast enough.

Politically, why start piecemeal?

Obama did by taking Single-Payer off the table (and Single-Payer advocates were physically removed from hearings) and ultimately caved on a Public Option.

ACA is a sham.
