Friend, I can’t even begin to tell you how grateful I am right now.
|
|
The grassroots response to my campaign launch has been incredible, and every single penny we’ve raised puts us one step closer to defeating Ted Cruz and flipping Texas blue!
|
|
Democrats from across the country are donating in droves to launch this campaign and power us to victory. We’re so close to hitting our $150,000 daily goal!
|
|
Look, I can’t take down Ted Cruz without you, and we just need $14,984 more before midnight to reach this goal. Can you spare just $15, split between me and MeidasTouch, to power my Democratic campaign? Let’s do this →

Friend, I’m Colin Allred, and I’m running for U.S. Senate to defeat Ted Cruz and deliver better, stronger leadership for the people of Texas.
|
|
Winning in Texas will all but guarantee Democrats are able to defend our razor-thin Senate majority – and CNN is already calling Ted Cruz one of the most vulnerable senators in the country!
|
|
That’s why I need you with me: Please, will you split $15 or whatever you can spare between my campaign and MeidasTouch to help reach my daily fundraising goal of $150,000? Every dollar you can spare will help us build a people-powered movement to defeat Ted Cruz, flip Texas blue and defend our Senate majority. Please donate now →

I’m a 4th generation Texan, born and raised in Dallas by a single mom. My mom was a public school teacher and sometimes worked two jobs to make ends meet. Thanks to my family and a strong support system of teachers, coaches, and the good folks at the YMCA, I earned a full ride football scholarship to Baylor University and then went on to play in the NFL.
|
|
But playing football was never my only dream – from a young age I knew I wanted to help people. So I became a civil rights attorney to defend what I believe is our most fundamental right: the right to vote. I proudly served in President Obama’s administration before I came home to Dallas, where I’m now raising my family.
|
|
I ran for Congress because I wanted more kids in North Texas to have the opportunity to achieve their version of the American dream and protect the fundamental values of our democracy – and I beat the odds to defeat an 11-term Republican incumbent, helping Democrats flip the House blue in 2018.
|
|
Now, I’m ready for my next challenge: taking on Ted Cruz. I know it won’t be easy, but I also know that Texans deserve so much better than Ted Cruz’s cynical partisan politics. Everything Ted Cruz does is for Ted Cruz – when I’m in the Senate, everything I do will be to help people like you. But I can’t get there alone:
|
|
That’s why I’m asking you to chip in right now: We’re going to need an unprecedented grassroots movement to unseat Ted Cruz and I’m counting on you to be a part of it. Please, split $15 or whatever you can spare between my campaign and MeidasTouch to help win in Texas, defeat Ted Cruz and defend our Democratic Senate majority →
|
|
Thank you so much for helping me launch this campaign. We have a long way to go, but together, I know we’ve got what it takes to win this thing.
|
|
Let’s do this,
Colin Allred
