00:00There are no moderate Republicans.
00:03They don't exist anymore.
00:05Every single one of them voted for rigged maps.
00:09Every single one of them has voted against women's rights.
00:14We have no access to abortion and certain health care.
00:19They all voted for SB4 against our immigrant community, who is so vital to our Texas economy.
00:26And they all voted for vouchers.
00:29Every single Republican incumbent voted for vouchers and sent billions of dollars to
00:36private schools with no accountability.
00:38I am State Representative Christina Morales from House District 145 in Houston, also chair
00:47of the House Democratic Campaign Committee.
00:50Tonight, just across the street, Donald Trump is going to stand in that arena and tell
00:58Texans lie after lie.
01:02He's going to say how good we've got it.
01:06He'll promise the price of gas will magically go down after the election.
01:12He'll even tell you that he has a $5,000 check with your name on it.
01:19He's going to be talking while most of Texas watches Thursday night football.
01:29Listen y'all, Donald Trump knew he was in trouble this midterm season.
01:34That's why he called Greg Abbott and asked him to hand over five congressional seats.
01:41Redraw the lines, silence minority voices, and put some more points on the board for Republicans.
01:51Now he's realizing that playbook might not work this go around.
01:58Listen, Texas Democrats have been playing defense for 30 years, but now we're the ones running
02:07the ball.
02:07And we have the Republicans on their heels.
02:12Trump kicked off his rigged redistricting scheme right here in Texas.
02:17But we're the ones who will deal him the final blow.
02:22Texas will go blue and we will deliver the U.S. Senate and the House Majorities for America.
02:33But for the past year, I've been working on flipping the Texas House of Representatives.
02:39And we are closer than we've ever been before.
02:44This is the result of years of organizing and advocacy on the ground, neighbor to neighbor,
02:51mom to mom.
02:52People are fed up with failed Republican policies, the same policies that are taking center stage
03:00right here in Dallas.
03:02Money for wars, but none for health care and SNAP.
03:08Unleashing massed ICE agents on our streets, in our schools, in our hospitals, and churches.
03:18Defunding our public schools and putting a data center in every neighborhood.
03:24That is the Texas that Republicans are forcing on all of us.
03:31Democrats have a different vision.
03:33And when we take back the Texas House of Representatives, we're fighting for investments in our public schools.
03:40We're fighting for lower costs for everyday people and small business owners.
03:47We're fighting for your health care, your housing, and your right to privacy each and every day.
03:55My colleagues and I have locked arms and fled the state not once, but twice, to stand up for voting
04:04rights.
04:04Democrats.
04:05We risked arrests so that you can be heard at the polls.
04:09We've marched.
04:11We fought on the House floor.
04:13We have taken them to court.
04:15In March, Democrats blitzed the polls and outvoted Republicans.
04:21Now, it's time to win the game and listen, Texans.
04:26We need your help getting us into the end zone.
04:29Texas Democratic Party chairman just leave.
04:33But to your question earlier, for the first time since the 1970s, we have a candidate, thanks
04:40to him, running in every Texas House seat.
04:43The wind is at our back, and I think we're going to see some surprises.
04:48I think that I'm knocking at the door with many of our candidates, and they come back and
04:54tell me what they're hearing at the door.
04:55There are no moderate Republicans.
04:59They don't exist anymore.
05:01Every single one of them voted for rigged maps.
05:05Every single one of them has voted against women's rights.
05:09We have no access to abortion and certain health care.
05:15They all voted for SB4 against our immigrant community, who is so vital to our Texas economy.
05:21And they all voted for vouchers.
05:25Every single Republican incumbent voted for vouchers and sent billions of dollars to private
05:32schools with no accountability.
05:36Yes.
05:39Any other questions?
05:43We'll go ahead and close it up then.
05:45Thank you so much for being here today.
05:47Team Democrats!
05:49Woo!
05:50Woo-woo!
