Governor Greg Abbott
March 26, 2026

In the Texas primary in March, more than 2.2 million Texas Republicans made their voices heard loud and clear as we march toward this critical election in November.

The problem is the DEMOCRATS’ total was bigger: more than 2.3 million votes.

That means more Democrats than Republicans voted in this election, something that simply doesn’t happen in Texas.

In the biggest red state in America, that’s a THREAT I’m taking seriously.

I’m responding by redoubling our efforts to make sure that every statewide Republican wins up and down the ballot this November. Texas Republicans haven’t lost a statewide race since 1994, and it’s not going to happen on my watch!

The problem is the liberals are as energized as we’ve ever seen in Texas.


  • The Democrats’ vote total was more than twice as high as any midterm primary this century, and their voters are fired up on a mix of socialism, anti-Trump derangement, and what they think is an opportunity to finally “turn Texas blue.”
  • The liberal media is cheering them on. The New York Times asked: “Is This the Year Texas Goes Blue”? MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) called it: “Trump’s nightmare.
  • The New Yorker wrote: “The Dream of Blue Texas Rides Again.
  • And Democrat groups are spending $30 million to coordinate their efforts, sign up voters, and build a long-term “blue Texas” campaign infrastructure.

I certainly don’t want to sound ungrateful. I was honored to receive more than 82 percent of the vote in my own primary election, up against 10 challengers. I take that vote as an inspiring, overwhelming mandate from the Republican base in the Lone Star State — and I’m going to use it as fuel for the fire of our victory this November.

But based on the overall totals from both parties, the Democrats are starting with a huge lead. Here’s how we’re going to beat them. I’m asking for your support today for our ground game operation that will lift the entire Republican ticket in November. We’re going to organize early, we’re going to register (legally) every Republican voter we can, and we’re going to build an operation that turns out every last Republican vote in the state. BUT WE MUST START NOW.

David, I need your help to KEEP TEXAS RED. That’s why I’m asking you to join this fight by SIGNING the enclosed “KEEP TEXAS RED URGENT 2026 DIRECTIVE.” With your urgent contribution of $150, $75, or $50, you’ll be helping me reach our campaign goal of raising $250,000 to fund our ground game in all 254 counties — NOW!

This November, the radical left is coming for Texas with one terrifying goal: full Democrat control of the border, from California to the Lone Star State. And we have another Beto O’Rourke wannabe running for U.S. Senate who claims God is “non-binary,” there are six biological sexes, and we should have a giant welcome mat at the U.S.-Mexico border!

You saw the difference between Joe Biden’s four years — open borders and runaway crime — and President Trump fully backing our efforts to shut down the border and bring illegal immigration to practically zero. One of my proudest accomplishments in office is Operation Lone Star, and I am going to fight tooth and nail to stop the Democrats from dismantling it.

But that’s not all we’re fighting for.


  • I was proud to sign school choice into law, empowering Texas parents and ensuring our great state is ALWAYS pro-family, pro-freedom, and pro-Texas values.
  • I delivered record-breaking property tax relief to put more money in your wallets — you deserve to keep more of your own money after four years of Biden inflation.
  • I was the first governor in the country to officially designate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist and transnational criminal organizations.
  • Texas is the biggest, boldest, most powerful red state in the country. While other states (and New York City) fall for the empty promise of socialism, Texas PROVES that a strong economy, American energy, and family values are what really works.

Of course, I’m honored to have President Trump’s “Complete and Total Endorsement,” and I’m proud to work with him on the border, on energy, and on our economy. There’s simply too much at stake for our state and our country to allow the Democrats to win.

I know you agree with me: In the BIGGEST RED STATE in America, we can’t let these socialists take our Texas away from us. You’ve been a loyal supporter of mine since 2023, and I need to know you’re in this fight.

David, I’m launching the BIGGEST GROUND GAME ever to keep Texas red. With your help, we’re going to identify, register, and turn out Republican voters with an overwhelming grassroots effort.

That’s why I’m asking you to sign the enclosed “KEEP TEXAS RED” URGENT 2026 DIRECTIVE and help me reach our goal of raising $250,000 as soon as possible. Your immediate contribution of $150, $75, or $50 is crucial — TODAY.

Sincerely,
(signature)
Greg
Governor Greg Abbott

P.S. If you didn’t think Democrats could ever turn Texas blue, I need you to look at those primary vote numbers again. The Democrats just turned out more voters than Republicans in a Texas election. We need to FIGHT to make sure that not a single Republican loses in November. Please, sign the enclosed “KEEP TEXAS RED” URGENT 2026 DIRECTIVE and rush back your contribution of $150, $75, or $50 — AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Thank you, David, for your help. — Governor Abbott
