“We are here to make sure that not one voter in Western Pennsylvania isn’t contacted face-to-face to remind them to vote for Trump,” said George Woodruff of Gunter, Texas, a retired Marine and airline pilot.

Meet the members of the Mighty Texas Strike Force, a group of nearly 2,000 mostly Texans who have deployed across several battleground states to push voters to pick the Republican in this year’s presidential election.

“We were founded during then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush’s first campaign for the presidency,” explained Rick Potter, the head of the organization. “We are a group of devoted Texas volunteers who have deployed to several national battleground swing states ever since his first election.”
