Austin American-Statesman: “Starting in September, Democrat Beto O’Rourke’s campaign will host 120 “volunteer rallies” across the state as part of an effort to bolster his organizing ranks heading into the fall campaign season.
The goal of these events is to recruit and train thousands of new volunteers who can aid the campaign’s efforts to knock on 5 million doors before the November election, according to his campaign.
“It’s the people of Texas who will decide this election,” O’Rourke said in a statement, adding that these events will train new volunteers “to knock on doors, make phone calls and have the conversations necessary to not only get out the vote but to win this election.””
