The American people shouldn't foot the bill for giant multinational corporations that Republicans rewarded with trillions in tax cuts in 2017.

It is not our fault that they offshored the jobs and the cash they hoarded in the stock market evaporated.

From the start, our plan has been to register & turn out more Democratic voters than any Congressional campaign in TX history.

We've been wearing out our shoes.

And in order to scale, our data team just launched a game-changing voter registration tool:

julieoliver.org/vr
Here's how it works:

1. Head to julieoliver.org/vr.

2. Hover over a precinct to see how many unregistered Democrats have recently moved into that precinct.

3. Chip in.

4. Forms go in the mail with pre-paid return envelopes.

5. We track completion & our team follows up.
We know that Texas places intentional barriers in the way of getting people registered to vote.

Our so-called VDR law, which means you have to be deputized in every one of Texas' 254 counties you're registering voters, is straight out of Jim Crow.

I was born poor & grew up working class.

But while we're talking about structural inequality & inequity, may I please use this moment to acknowledge that black and Latinx women face even steeper barriers and challenges at every imaginable level of our society and economy?
Black women are three to four times more likely than white women to die from pregnancy or childbirth-related causes.

The fact that we're the only country in the developed world not to provide universal healthcare is a reason.

So is systemic bias.

nytimes.com/2018/04/11/mag…
Black women are paid less, 61 cents for every dollar a white male is paid, no matter what their education achievement, whether the job is low- or high-paying, where they live or what their age is.

Actual national emergency:

"The Trump administration is still tearing young children away from their parents when they cross the US-Mexico border unlawfully, despite formally ending the policy of family separations last summer."

Actual national emergency:

Our ability to grow our own food, drink potable water, and for our children to survive as climate change poses an existential threat to all life on this planet.

Why is my Democratic opponent spreading lies and attacking me? 1/
In a mass email yesterday, my opponent made a clumsy attempt at painting me as some kind of plutocratic corporate lawyer, by stating “she has spent her career as in-house corporate counsel for HCA, the largest for-profit hospital monopoly in the world.” 2/
A quick LinkedIn search is all you have to do to see that I am a Division Controller - a financial position ensuring accuracy in financial reporting - essentially, my job is ensuring transparency and accountability. I am not "in-house counsel". But even if I was, so what? 3/

I'm a healthcare advocate, lawyer, accountant and working mom. I upturned my entire life to run for Congress.

I'm running because it's time for honest, decent working Texans like us to end the status quo and to take our country back from the extremist minority. 1/
I grew up very poor. I was born in South Oak Cliff, and moved to Ovilla when I was 11. My mom was a school teacher. My dad owned a pawn shop. 2/
I took care of my mom for the last for the last 15 years of her life as she struggled with a chronic disease. And I'm taking care of my dad now. 3/
