State Rep. Michelle Beckley (D-Tx.) announced her bid to unseat Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-Tx.) in a professionally shot video posted to her social media on Tuesday evening, in which she could be seen watching cable news coverage of her group from a DC hotel room.
“Generations of Americans have come to Washington, DC to learn about our democracy. I came here with over 50 of my colleagues to save it. Leaving our families behind to block Texas Republicans’ voter suppression bill,” Beckley said from her swanky pad, which featured a full view of the Capitol.
The House hopeful wasted no time trying to increase her digital profile after the launch, promoting her and her Texan colleagues’ jaunt as a profile in courage.
“I’m one of the brave Texas Democrats who came to D.C. to fight for voting rights in my state,” Beckley tweeted. “Now, I’m fighting to flip a seat held by an anti-democracy Republican. I have 28,500. Can you help us get to 50,000 followers?”
