Beto O’Rourke is a fourth-generation Texan, born and raised in El Paso where he has served as a small business owner, a City council representative and a member of Congress. He founded and currently leads Powered by People that works to expand democracy and produce Democratic victories through voter registration and direct voter engagement. Powered by People has helped register over 250,000 unregistered Texans to vote since its inception.

We need a leader who is for all the people, for men and women, for children, for immigrants seeking asylum, for the environment...in other words, a positive representative. When you see Beto O'Rourke, you see a guy with a cap and his shirt sleeves rolled up and ready to work. 

Here is what Beto O'Rourke stands for:

Climate change: Return to Paris climate agreement.

Education: Make pre-K education universal. The first two years of higher education should be debt free.

Gun control: Ban assault weapons. Require universal background checks.

Health care: Create a government-run health insurance plan as one option for Americans.

Social Issues: Abortion should be legal and with fewer restrictions. Discrimination based on sexual preference should be illegal. The military should welcome transgender recruits.

Trade: Keep NAFTA largely intact.

While other Texas leaders went to Cancun and Fox News during a state crisis, Beto has a history of on the ground presence in the midst of disaster helping people. This is the kind of person we need leading our country. Think peace. Think change. Think Beto.
