Kopser for Texas raises over $180k in just over 10 weeks

Kopser for Texas today announced that the campaign has raised $180,000 in just over 10 weeks, marking a significant early milestone and demonstrating strong alignment behind a results-focused campaign in Texas House District 47.

The rapid fundraising pace reflects growing enthusiasm for a campaign centered on discipline, direct voter engagement, and doing the work required to win.

“We can’t rely on a wave election. We have to do the work — earn every vote, expand the electorate, and build a results-focused coalition for Texas,” said Joseph Kopser, candidate for Texas House District 47.

Early Investment in Expanding the Electorate

In addition to strong fundraising, the campaign has already made a $40,000 investment to identify and reach like-minded residents who are currently unregistered to vote.

Rather than focusing solely on traditional persuasion universes, Kopser for Texas is proactively expanding participation and building long-term civic engagement infrastructure within the district consistent with his work over the last seven years with USTomorrow.

“Too often campaigns talk to the same shrinking pool of voters,” Kopser said. “If we want better outcomes, we have to expand the electorate and engage people early.”

Neighborhood-Based Organizing Backed by Data

Kopser for Texas is building on the relational organizing model popularized statewide by Blue Action Democrats, which has demonstrated that voters are significantly more likely to turn out when contacted by someone they know and trust.

The Blue Action 2024 Impact Report found that relational outreach consistently outperformed traditional “stranger outreach” methods. In contrast, broader field analysis in Texas has shown declining effectiveness in paid outreach and mass texting.

In response, the campaign is prioritizing volunteer-led engagement and distributed organizing strategies that empower supporters to serve as neighborhood ambassadors — leveraging trusted relationships within their own communities.

Using innovative data modeling to identify participation barriers and deliver accurate, localized information, the campaign is equipping supporters with tools to:

• Identify neighbors and personal contacts within their networks

• Encourage consistent civic participation

• Engage respectfully across differences

“The messenger is just as important as the message,” Kopser added. “When neighbors talk to neighbors, participation rises. When volunteers lead, results improve. That’s what the data shows — and that’s what we’re building.”

A Serious Campaign Focused on Results

The $180,000 raised in just over 10 weeks reflects more than financial strength — it signals operational readiness and disciplined execution.

Kopser for Texas is deploying resources early, investing in durable turnout infrastructure, and building a coalition prepared to engage voters consistently ahead of the March primary.

“Our district deserves serious leadership,” Kopser said. “If we want better results in Austin, we have to organize differently. We’re not waiting for momentum — we’re building it.”
