What kind of ID do you have to bring?
And where is your nearest polling location?
Because again,
polling locations have moved around.
We saw that in the Democratic primary two months ago, where in my home county of Williamson County, in my opponent's home county of Dallas County, we saw polling locations getting moved around last minute and people getting confused about where to go and not being able to vote because of that.
And that's unacceptable in a democracy.
So doing all this work on the front end of knowing where and when
And how to vote, I think, is really critical to ensuring that people are ready to overcome any voter suppression.
My life has shown me always bet on the underdog, whether it was a single mom from Laredo who fought for her baby boy, whether it was students on the west side of San Antonio who overcame poverty and injustice to succeed.
whether it's the bills I've been able to pass in the legislature as a Democrat in a Republican-dominated body to actually help working people, to help the underdogs in the state of Texas, my life has shown me that it's a good bet to bet on the underdog.
And I think in Texas, over the last 15, 20 years, we have seen statewide election results getting more competitive and more competitive.
Texas is rapidly becoming a purple state, and the data proves that.
I think people are sick and tired of one-party rule in Texas, and people are ready for a change.
This year in particular, there is a growing backlash to the extremism and the corruption in our government.
It's gonna be Democrats, independents, and Republicans.
It's gonna be black, white, brown.
It's gonna be old and young.
It's gonna be rural, urban, suburban.
It's going to be working people coming together across all these divisions to take power back for ourselves.
And I know we're the underdogs in this fight, but I feel it.
