Former Congressman Beto O'Rourke plans to try to help Texas Democrats win elections in the year ahead. O'Rourke announced on Friday that he'll create a grassroots organization called Powered by People. It's a get-out-the-vote group intended to support Democratic candidates in state and national races, as well as whoever the Democrats ultimately nominate for president. O'Rourke's effort follows his own unsuccessful run for president this year and a failed Senate campaign last year.
