Beto O’Rourke 3rd quarter fundraising numbers are in, and he has broken another record. And, of course, blown away his opponent’s (and his affiliated PACs’) pathetic numbers yet again.
Here’s Beto’s thank you:
For those who can’t watch embedded videos, here’s a link. And here’s my transcript:
I just wanted to take a minute to say, thank you.
With your help, we’ve raised more than 38 million dollars over these last 3 months. That came from 802,836 unique contributions.
It’s going to give us the resources we need to finish this campaign as strong as we possibly can.
And it’s more than 3 times the amount that Ted Cruz raised, not just in his campaign but all the affiliated political action committees that are contributing to his campaign.
We are doing something absolutely historic: Not just ensuring that we have the resources to run and to win, but to make sure that our democracy once again is powered by people and only people.
People over special interests.
People over PACs.
People over SuperPACs.
People over corporations.
People ensuring that we do the right things for Texas, for this country, at this critical moment.
And so I just wanted to take a second to say, thank you for making it possible.
This is the kind of outreach our donations are fueling:

What are you waiting for? It’s time to put that money to good use reaching out to voters and making sure they know when and where to go vote for Beto and all of our other great Democratic candidates here in Texas!
