In between the campaign events, town halls, television hits, and flights across America aimed at winning the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, theres one person that Beto ORourke always makes time to catch up with: his 39-year-old sister, Erin, who was born with intellectual disabilities.
The former Texas congressman, who once served as his younger sisters legal guardian, hops on the phone with Erin at the end of many of her workdays at a residential facility for adults and children three hours from El Paso, N.M., where she lives and works. Erin watched the Democratic debate last Tuesday in which her big brother became the first 2020 contender to discuss people with disabilities on the big stage.
