They're trying to flip Republican voters by saying that this Democrat is a moderate, and that is a big problem.

The misinformation campaign is very strong.

We have to get the truth out.

But the big part of this is Republicans are not showing up in the numbers that Democrats are showing up.

And that is, you know, traditionally, historically, you know, sort of the pattern.

And we can't have that happen this time.

The importance of winning this state Senate race in January is if the Democrats win, it will embolden them and it will make all of our Republicans happy.

Jobs even harder to win in November.

They'll throw twice as much at them.

We have to win this race in January.

To give you an example of the balance of power, the state of Texas, big state.

We've got 31 million people.

We have 31 state senators.

Right now, that balance of power in our state is 20 Republicans and 11 Democrats.

Out of those 20 Republicans, five seats are open for the first time in history.

That's five Republican senators retired, took other jobs.

They're running for other things.

We both know open seats are harder to win, and we both know Democrats know that.

So what we're looking at, if you do the math, if you take five away from the 20, add it over to the 11, that turns it into a Democrat, Republican, a Democrat power Senate.

Now, even if they take a few of those seats, our Senate requires a super majority.
