Mothers Against Greg Abbott

Featured Speaker for October 4: Michelle Lowe Solis from Mothers Against Greg Abbott (MAGA). Michelle retired in Oct 2021 from the civil service of the U.S federal government as a member of the Senior Executive Service. She has been working full time as a volunteer for MAGA since Feb 2022 and is the Communications Lead. She has also been doing candidate outreach for the webinars as well as helping stand up the chapters. 

From their website: Mothers Against Greg Abbott State PAC is a group of Texas Mothers, Fathers, Uncles, Aunts, and Grandparents who want change for Texas Families. We are a diverse group of Texans who are a mix of Democrats, Moderate Republicans and Independents who are ready to work together for change for Texas. We know that change isn’t going to come from the left or right but from those of us in the middle. While we don’t agree on every topic, we all agree that we need change in Texas in 2022 if we want Texas families and communities to thrive again. https://mothersagainstgregabbott.com 

Join MAGA on Facebook. Search Mothers Against Greg Abbott which is a private group with membership approaching 60,000 members. Click the Join Group button, answer the questions, and submit. You can also follow the Mothers Against Greg Abbott PAC page.

Our own Sarah Lewis, HCCTDW VP, is the new chapter leader for the Hill Country Chapter of MAGA. The first step to join the chapter is to get set up in the intranet/”Fight club”. Create an account at https://momsagainstgregabbott.org Fill in all of your information and wait for the administrator to accept your request. Sometimes it takes several minutes but MAGA is trying to get to everyone right away. But once you do, go to Groups and request access to the Hill Country group. The Postcard team and Texting team may be good to join if you plan on doing those as well. 

1 – If you’re interested in hosting a postcard writing party in the next couple of weeks, let Sarah know! 

2 – We’re planning a Beto/Abbott debate watch party at the Kerr County Democratic HQ on 8/30 (time TBD after debate time is announced), hope you can join us! 

Featured Candidate on October 4: Kathy Jones-Hospod, State Senator – District 24 Kathy, a mother to 3 grown sons, has 40 years of experience as an engineer. The majority of her experience was making sure our telecom infrastructure was reliable for not only Texans but nationwide, including 911. She knows what it takes to build infrastructure and will bring a perspective to the Texas Legislature that combines engineering, business, and leadership
