Former Rep. Beto ORourke (D-Texas) said Tuesday that he plans to focus on flipping the Texas state House to Democratic control in 2020.
Everything flows up from that," the former presidential candidate told reporters, according to The Texas Tribune. "So not only could Democrats gain control of the House and make progress on stormwater infrastructure, health care, gun violence, climate and education, but that will incidentally help the federal races from U.S. Congress to U.S. Senate and I also think its also going to lay the groundwork for whoever the presidential nominee is."
ORourke told reporters of his new plans while campaigning with Eliz Markowitz, who is running for a state House seat and preparing for a run-off election next month, according to the Tribune. He said it was the first time he has returned to the campaign trail following his withdrawal from the presidential race in early November.
The former presidential candidate said during his 2018 Senate campaign that he worked with state House candidates and they produced historic turnout, according to the Tribune.

The left’s agenda is dull and finite. It’s the same five or six hobby horses over and over.
