In an announcement video, O’Rourke said in part:
“Those in positions of public trust have stopped listening to, serving, paying attention to, and trusting the people of Texas, and so they’re not focused on the things that most of us actually agree on.
“Instead, they’re focusing on the kind of extremist policies that really only divide us and keep us apart, and stop us from working together on the truly big things that we want to achieve for one another.
“It’s a really small vision for such a big state, but it doesn’t have to be that way, and I know that together we can get back to being big again.”
