Beto O'Rourke speaks at the 2022 HRC Houston Dinner
The Human Rights Campaign PAC (HRC PAC) endorses Beto O’Rourke for Texas Governor. O’Rourke — who has a strong track record of supporting LGBTQ+ rights as a candidate and public official — is running against incumbent Greg Abbott, a notorious anti-equality politician. HRC’s plan to help O’Rourke become the next governor of Texas includes a robust campaign to mobilize 2.1 million Equality Voters, the surging portion of the electorate who prioritize equality on the ballot.
While serving as an El Paso City Councilman from 2005 to 2012, O’Rourke led the fight for domestic partner benefits and worked to overturn a domestic partnership ban. He was then elected to Congress and served three terms from 2013 to 2019. He came to national prominence during his Senate race against hard-right Republican Ted Cruz in 2018 and with his 2020 Presidential campaign, during which he was praised for his comprehensive LGBTQ+ rights proposals. Born and raised in El Paso, Texas, O’Rourke is a graduate of Columbia University, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in English literature.
During his time in public service, O’Rourke has been a reliable fighter for LGBTQ+ affirming policies. He vocally supported marriage equality in the years before the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 decision that made marriage equality the law of the land and earned a perfect score on HRC’s legislative scorecard during his last term in Congress.
In 2021, during a legislative session that saw a constant drumbeat of anti-trans bills and rhetoric previously unseen in Texas’s history, Congressman O’Rourke joined hundreds of Texans to testify against anti-trans legislation at the state capitol.
The Events program reaches over 20k members each year through 30 fundraising dinner events, allowing us to elevate LGBTQ+ candidates around the country, keep volunteers engaged, amplify our work in the local community, and solicit corporate sponsorships and donations through our auctions. It also gives these members the opportunity to hear from important speakers who highlight our work.
