In Texas visit, second gentleman Douglas Emhoff raises more than $1 million
Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff raised more than $1 million at a San Antonio fundraiser for Kamala Harris presidential campaign Monday night, the largest presidential fundraiser in the city’s history.
San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg made the announcement at a reception hosted by Frank and Cecilia Herrera that was attended by prominent area Democrats like Henry Cisneros, a former San Antonio mayor and former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Development, State Sen. José Menéndez, and U.S. Rep. Greg Casar.
“We have to work, even here in Texas,” Emhoff told the guests at the fundraiser. “We can't take any state off the map. We gotta make sure we're doing the work here. And even if we can't turn Texas blue this time around you have a good chance of sending [U.S. Rep.] Colin Allred to the Senate.”
Emhoff also said that voters could also make “serious changes” to the state by flipping some statehouse races and their statewide leaders.
