The Travis County Coordinated Campaign Needs Our Help!

For those of you who haven’t heard, Rep. Elliot Naishtat has generously agreed to match funds raised by the Travis County Coordinated Campaign over the next few days. The TCCC has a goal of $15,000 in fund-raising, which will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the generosity of Rep. Naishtat.

For those not in Travis County (myself included), who may be wondering why it is important to support the Coordinated Campaign in our capitol city, I’ll tell you.

First and foremost, Travis County is one of the most blue areas in the state, and every extra vote turned out in Travis County helps create a “padding” for statewide candidates like Rick Noriega, Sam Houston, Linda Yanez, and Susan Strawn to offset overly red areas. Every D vote turned out in Travis County is worth a lot to our statewide candidates.

Too, down in Travis County, they’ve got to have a great presence and excellent GOTV program to help candidates like State Rep. Valinda Bolton (D-Austin) keep her seat in the Texas House and Larry Joe Doherty win a seat in Congress. These are two key races that will impact Texans statewide. Bolton, in particular, is a seat we must hold if we have hopes of a majority in the Texas House next year.

So, I hope you’ll join me in supporting the Travis County Coordinated Campaign with a donation via Act Blue. They need to capture all of Rep. Naishtat’s match money. Help them out!
