DALLAS — The sizzling dog days of Texas summer aren’t stopping Gov. Greg Abbott and Beto O’Rourke from mobilizing voters in the hot race for governor.
The summer before a fall election season can be slow for grass-roots politics as candidates try to raise money and marshal resources for the unofficial stretch run that starts after Labor Day.
But Abbott and O’Rourke have already jump-started their ground operations, signaling the marquee contest on Texas’ midterm election ballot will be a hard-fought tactical war with battlefields across the state. Sunday marked 100 days before the midterm elections.
