Beto O'Rourke campaign announces location for El Paso rally
Beto O'Rourke has announced the location of his official campaign kickoff for president.
The previously announced event at 10 a.m. Saturday will be held in Downtown El Paso, at El Paso and Overland streets. It will be the first of three events the former Congressman from El Paso and Senate candidate will have across Texas on Saturday. He'll be in Houston that afternoon and Austin that evening.
"O'Rourke will lay out the priorities of his campaign and his unifying vision for the best way to move America forward," the campaign said in a release.
O'Rourke announced March 14 that he would run for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, joining an already crowded field. Shortly after announcing his run, he said he would have a formal event to launch the campaign in El Paso, but details of that event have trickled out since.
