AUSTIN, Texas -- Democrats in Texas and around the country have vowed to turn the state blue in 2020, following stronger-than-usual results in 2018. But Republicans aren't taking their long-held dominance for granted.

One super PAC, called Engage Texas, is flexing its organizational muscles. Since launching in June, the group has raised $11.8 million. It also has nearly 300 people on staff, up from 18 staffers when it first launched.

“I think after 2018 was a wakeup call for Republicans,” said Ray Sullivan, Engage Texas spokesman. “We’ve had it very good for a long time. And the state is getting a bit more competitive as more folks move in from out of state.  As the state grows and gets more complicated, it’s harder to identify and communicate with voters sometimes. So that voter registration is really the foundation of political campaigns and political communication and we feel that identifying those conservative voters whose registration has lapped or are new to the state will give our candidates and our party a big leg up going into the election.”

Democrats are also working hard to register new voters. The party is going after 2.6 million unregistered voters it believes are likely Democrats.
