It’s a bit of a good news, bad news situation. CANDIDATE Raised through 12/31/21 Timeframe Beto $7.2 million 46 days Greg Abbott $18.9 million 6 months - Good news: We’re raising money faster than Abbott. If we can accelerate the pace, we can close the gap and have a much better shot at victory. - Bad news: Greg Abbott has been in this race a much longer time. With this new money added, he now has $65 million on hand to spend. {NAME}, let us be blunt: there are a lot of Texans who believe in what we’re doing, but they aren’t sure that we can raise the resources to get it done. They’re going to sit this one out unless we give them a reason to believe. We need to show we can fundraise a lot faster than Abbott to give people confidence. Let’s show we can pick up the pace right now, {NAME}. [Split a $3 contribution between Beto and UniteDemocrats today. We need a big surge today to show we can out-raise Greg Abbott day-by-day and close the gap between us and him.]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [CONTRIBUTE $3 »]( [CONTRIBUTE $7 »]( [Or CONTRIBUTE a custom donation »]( It’s true we have some advantages: First off, we didn’t screw up the power grid. We didn’t botch the COVID response. And we didn’t pass a brazen and unconstitutional attack on the right to abortion. We’re the ones with a winning message. Plus, we’re launching the biggest organizing program Texas has ever seen — outdoing even what we built in 2018 when Beto came just a couple points shy of winning statewide. But, {NAME}, if we’re going to win, we can’t suffer a blowout on the money side. We’re going to have to close the gap a good chunk to prevent Greg Abbott from drowning us out on TV, digital, and radio ads heading into the election. Our only chance to close the gap is through strong grassroots fundraising, which is why we’re emailing you today.
