The Corpus Christi, Texas, native took to Twitter on Saturday to post a short video in which the actress, donning a Beto for Senate T-shirt, encourages Texans to vote for Beto on November 6. “It is critical that we all come together to cast our vote for Beto O'Rourke,” she says.

“Beto believes in us and supports us. He supports healthcare for all and he’s going to fight for our kids futures and invest in our public school system so that every kid has a chance to succeed.”

She spoke in both English and Spanish, using hashtags #betofortexas and #VotaXBeto in her social media post.

She served as co-chair of both Barack Obama's re-election campaign and 2013 inauguration.

In 2014, she co-founded the Latino Victory Fund, a progressive political action committee working to grow Latino political power by increasing Latino representation at every level of government.

She has attended various hearings and news conferences on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. Subjects she has shined the spotlight on include child-labor abuses in agriculture, the need for better schools to boost young Latinos out of poverty, the death of Small Business Administration programs for Latino entrepreneurs, and immigration reform.

Longoria earned an undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University-Kingsville and a master's degree in American Hispanic history from California State University, Northridge, with a focus on math and science coursework for Latina students.
