(MINERAL WELLS, TX) – If you were expecting to see Beto O’Rourke in Palo Pinto County this week, you’ll have to wait a little longer.

The Democratic challenger for Ted Cruz’s Senate seat has postponed his planned campaign stop for Wednesday at the Holiday Hills Country Club in Mineral Wells.  According to O’Rourke’s camp, the El Paso Representative must stay in Washington for a Congressional vote.  He has reportedly rescheduled the visit for October 12^th.

In challenging Cruz, O’Rourke is trying to become the first Democrat elected to statewide office since 1994.
