Hey John — Colin Allred, my friend and colleague in the House, announced this morning that he’s running for the U.S. Senate in Texas. To take on Ted Cruz.

The race is on to beat Cruz once and for all. And I couldn’t be more excited to support Colin in these efforts.

Will you rush an urgent split donation to Colin’s campaign and our own so we can defeat Cruz and get rid of one of the biggest MAGA influences in the U.S. Senate?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Colin Allred and Adam Schiff will go through immediately:

Colin would make a fantastic U.S. Senator, John. Colin is a former Texas high school and college football star, and former NFL linebacker, which means he knows how to take and give a hit. After football, he went to law school to help his community.

In his time in Congress, he’s fought hard to achieve progress for working families in Texas’ 32nd District. He’s also a fierce defender of our democracy and our freedoms, which is the opposite of the guy he’s taking on.

Look, you and I both know how bad Ted Cruz is — he’s really, really bad.

His egregious policy stances. His sycophancy towards Donald Trump. His refusal to stand up to the gun lobby after horrific acts of gun violence in Texas. His trip to Cancún while millions of his own constituents were freezing through a devastating winter storm.

I could go on and on, and on, but there are more productive things to do. Like supporting Colin Allred on Day One of his campaign. That’s what I’m doing. And what I hope you’ll do.

Last time Ted Cruz was on the ballot, he won by less than 3 points.

He’s beatable, John. Especially if we show our early support for Colin’s campaign.

Wouldn’t it be great to beat Cruz once and for all and elect someone who stands up for the values we believe in instead?

I’m hoping you will join me in supporting Colin’s campaign for the U.S. Senate today by splitting a contribution to our campaigns.
