Mr. Jeff Roe
Ted Cruz for Senate

Dear Mr. Roe,
I look forward to debating Senator Cruz and am grateful for the schedule you have
proposed.
I would suggest only a few small changes.
Many of our fellow Texans are occupied on Friday nights in the fall, so if we can have at
least three of these on another weeknight or a Sunday night I think that would allow
more Texans to participate.
Likewise, if the first one in Dallas can be moved to a later date in October we are likely
to reach more Texans closer to when they make their decision at the polls. I would also
propose adding a sixth debate to be held in El Paso, our state’s sixth largest city and
the largest binational community in the hemisphere.
At each debate, our fellow Texans should be able to raise any issue and do so in an
unscripted town hall format. Those issues should include ones you have already
proposed and those you did not, including, but not limited to: serving our
veterans, public education, money in politics, farming and ranching, the
environment, civil rights and social security.
I have asked my Campaign Manager Jody Casey to call you today to set up a time for
our two campaigns to meet and work out the details.
I very much look forward to seeing you and Senator Cruz soon.

Beto O’Rourke
