Working people coming together across all these divisions to take on this broken, corrupt political system.

And this is what the people in power always do.

They divide working people by party, by race, by gender, by religion, by culture.

So we don't notice that they are picking our pockets.

that they're closing our public schools, which is happening all over the state of Texas.

They're gutting our healthcare.

We've seen premiums skyrocket for working families in this state.

And they are cutting taxes for themselves while they raise taxes on all of us.

So this is, this is literally the oldest strategy in the world, divide and conquer.

And I think people in this state and in this country, I think we're done being divided.

I think we're done being pitted against each other.

We're done being played.

And they know that's the movement we're building in Texas.

And so they're going to throw everything they've got at us.

They're going to dig up all kinds of, you know, old statements, take them out of context and try to paint them in the worst possible light.

Um, because this is the only playbook they have in 2026.

Yeah, we launched this campaign six months ago in my hometown of Round Rock, Texas, which is just north of here.

And shout out to Round Rock.

And since then, we have had tens of thousands of Texans showing up to rally with us in every corner of the state, from Beaumont to El Paso, from

Amarillo to Brownsville and everywhere in between.
