Fox News
State Rep. Michelle Beckley, a Democrat, joined over 50 of her colleagues who fled Texas to deny quorum on GOP voting bills
"I’m one of the brave Texas Democrats who came to D.C. to fight for voting rights in my state. 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?" she tweeted. She followed up the tweet with a link on how best to contribute to her campaign. Beckley’s office did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News, but the tweet faced criticism for the bravery reference.More Related News
