We're not done yet with Elections in Texas. With an expected 76-74 Republican controlled statehouse we have a chance on December 16th to help narrow the margin in the state senate by one more vote to 18-13. That race of course, pits former Gubernatorial nominee Chris Bell against GOP nominee Joan Huffman who were the two vote leaders in the open primary on November 4th.
Today we are announcing a weeklong effort in support of Chris Bell's runoff election. With Early Voting this week and Election Day next Tuesday, we're also announcing our second $1000 Burnt Orange for Bell online fundraiser. Last time, we went on strike and you reached that goal in one day. We're not striking this time, but I'm more than confident our community can raise $1000 this week for Bell. So if you haven't given (and it's the only race in town so you should), click here and donate to Bell today.
I'll start it off with $50 myself. Will you join me?
Here is an ad that the Bell campaign has released in the runoff election. You can view other ads and videos from the Bell campaign on their YouTube channel.
Democrats received 52.2% of the vote combined on November 4th, proving that this is a winnable district.
To that end, there are some things you can do to help.
