Brianna Brown, Executive Director of Texas Organizing Project (TOP), made the following statement on TOP PAC’s endorsement of Jasmine Crockett:

“Jasmine Crockett is meeting this political moment with the urgency, intentionality, and solidarity Texans need right now in the U.S. Senate to effectively counter Trump’s destructive MAGA agenda.

“Through her work in Congress and in the community, Jasmine has proven she’s a listener and leader with the skillset needed to not only resist this corrupt regime, but chart a bold new political future for our state, a Texas centered in values where every person can grow and prosper – no matter their age, race, gender, faith, or background.

“The Congresswoman understands fully how higher costs are hurting Texans, how our healthcare system under Trump is failing families, and how we must defend immigrant communities from vicious attacks by our own government – attacks being cheered on by right-wing politicians like John Cornyn and Ken Paxton.

“TOP PAC proudly endorsed Jasmine Crockett’s candidacy for Texas House in 2020, helping deliver her victory through voter outreach, and we proudly endorse her for the U.S. Senate today, because all Texans stand to benefit from her strong, fearless advocating for every person who calls our state home.”

Jasmine Crockett, Congresswoman and candidate for U.S. Senate, added:

“I’ve been a member of the Texas Organizing Project and have been in the streets and trenches alongside this organization. I know that winning elections happens through organizing and people power. TOP is made up of everyday working people in Texas who want a better and safer life. I have worked alongside them at both the state and federal levels and look forward to continuing this partnership in the U.S. Senate to deliver meaningful legislation for economic opportunities, healthcare, criminal justice, housing, and immigrant rights.”

Brianna Brown, Executive Director of Texas Organizing Project (TOP), shared the following statement on TOP PAC’s endorsement of Gina Hinojosa:

“A lifelong advocate for working-class communities, Gina Hinojosa is ready to serve everyday Texans and turn the page on Greg Abbott’s failed reign as governor.

“For more than a decade, Abbott has proven himself to be little more than a MAGA puppet, catering his policies to appease the far-right, instead of to help Texas working families.

“Meanwhile, Gina Hinojosa has shown she has the forward-thinking, inclusive vision our state needs at this time to move past Abbott and his “culture war” nonsense, so we can tackle real, critical issues impacting Texans.

“We’re excited to support Gina’s campaign built on challenging the status quo to lift up everyday Texans, and to win the transformative policy changes our families deserve.”

Christina Quintero, Harris County member of Texas Organizing Project, added:

“Since the start of his governorship, Greg Abbott has focused far more on elevating his own political profile than attending to the needs and protecting the rights of working Texans.

“Our state is in need of a major course correction. Having Gina Hinojosa in the Governor’s Mansion gets us closer to a Texas where every person can live with the dignity they deserve.

“All who call our state home – regardless of age, race, gender, faith, or background – will benefit from her leadership.”
