We are done with the extremism and the corruption. We're done with the politics of division, and we are ready for something new.

Tomorrow night, we are going to do something extraordinary. We are going to do something historic. We are going to shock the nation, shock the world, when we beat the billionaires and take back Texas
To win this election, we have to execute. We have to leave it all on the field. We have to win.
I know that we’re not the only show in town tonight, and I appreciate all 4,000 of you that showed up here this evening.
David wasn’t as big or as strong as Goliath. He didn’t have as many weapons, but he had hope. He had faith, and he had a slingshot.
We’re going to shock the nation and shock the world when we beat the billionaires and take back Texas.
Trans children are God's children, made in God's own image. There's nothing wrong with them. Nothing at all. They are perfect. They are beautiful, and they are sacred.

It’s hard to get 15 homes in a game of Monopoly—I don’t know how Ken Paxton got 15 homes.
The world’s first trillionaire may think he’s entitled to our land, to our water, to his own personal U.S. senator, but he’s not.
This election shouldn't be about the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. It's bigger than that.
I will not 'unilaterally disarm' on campaign spending while Republicans employ political action committees.
