I went to an event tonight and had the honor of hearing Gina Hinojosa speak. She said so many important things, but one message in particular stood out to me—one I feel like I need to share with all of you.
We are living through a once-in-a-lifetime moment in Texas. We have an opportunity to take control of the direction of this state, and the fate of our Union rests, in no small part, on Texans.
That’s a lot of pressure. It’s also a tremendous responsibility.
But we are up to the task.
The strength of Texas can shape the future of this entire country. And the most important thing we can do right now to take back our power is simple:
Show up and vote.
Encourage your friends to vote. Talk to your neighbors. Remind people that, no matter who tells them otherwise, their vote matters. It matters enormously. It is everything.
I know that Gina Hinojosa, James Talarico, and Katy Padilla care enough to come here, see what is happening, listen to us, and then speak up. That matters to me. That’s why they will have my vote.
But honestly, I don’t care who you choose to vote for.
I care that you show up.
I care that you make your voice heard.
That is the only way this great experiment can work.
So please—vote. Encourage others to vote. And never let anyone convince you that your voice doesn’t matter.
Texas has power. Let’s use it.
