Now is the time for Texas to step up and lead.Beto O'Rourke is traveling to every part of Texas to meet with Texans in their communities. Whether they're Democrats, Republicans, Independents or even non-voters, all Texans deserve an accountable, full-time, full-service Senator who's committed to working tirelessly for our state. Beto has made it a priority to host monthly town halls to hear directly from his constituents. For nearly five years he hasn't missed a single one. And that's exactly how he's running his campaign for U.S. Senate.Beto is a fourth-generation Texan, born and raised in El Paso. After graduating from Columbia University, Beto worked in New York for a few years before deciding to move back to his hometown and start a small technology company. Over the years Stanton Street hired dozens of people in high skill, high-wage jobs that one might not expect to see in a border community.Beto ran for El Paso City Council in 2005 and served for two terms before running for U.S. Congress in 2012, taking on an eight-term incumbent and winning. In Congress, Beto serves on the House Committees for Armed Services and Veterans Affairs. He has made it a priority to work across the aisle to secure bipartisan support for his legislation, because Beto knows our country is at its best when we can put party aside to work together, build consensus and find common ground.Much of Beto's focus has been on improving the ability for veterans to get the health care — and other earned benefits — that they need. He's also been focused on curbing the influence of corporate money in Congress. He helped introduce the "No PAC Act," which would stop candidates for federal office from relying on PACs to bankroll their campaigns.Visit www.betofortexas.com/issues and learn more about the many issues that make up Beto's campaign platform.Beto and his wife, Amy, are raising their three children, Ulysses, Molly and Henry, in El Paso.UNOFFICIAL VOLUNTEER RUN PROFILE dedicated to Beto O'Rourke
