Rep. Beto ORourke Town Hall in Houston, TX Greenspoint

This is what a grassroots campaign looks like.

Congressman Beto O'Rourke visited Greenspoint area of Houston, Texas on February 10th. Given the size of the crowd on a rainy and muggy Saturday, this man likely has a chance. There were even independents and Republicans who showed up.

Community activist Keshia Thomas, the woman whose photograph in 1996 saving a KKK member from a mob, was Life Magazine Picture of the year, organized the event. Keshia had north of 500 people in the hastily arranged town hall. She had six days to put it all together. She announced it on Politics Done Right with Egberto Willies and was off to the races.

I'm excited to see the turnout this afternoon at his Boerne town hall in a very Republican area! Canvassing in my neighborhood was successful and only ran into 1 Cruz household.
