Ron Jenkins / Getty Images fileBeto O'Rourke said Monday that he is running for governor of Texas, giving Democrats a well-known challenger to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.
"Those in positions of public trust have stopped listening to, serving and paying attention to and trusting the people of Texas. They’re not focused on the things that we really want them to do, like making sure we have a functioning electricity grid or that we’re creating the best jobs in America right here in Texas," he said in a video.
The former congressman from El Paso lost a close race against Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018 before launching an unsuccessful presidential campaign.O'Rourke has maintained a high profile in the state, speaking out against the Republican-led voting restrictions that Abbott signed into law in September and raising funds for the Texas Democrats who fled to try and block the legislation.
He’s the man to turn Texas blue!
Help us elect Beto for Governor.
