Friend --

David Valadao is ramping up the attacks against me.

We just got a hold of one of his letters to supporters. It’s filled with the same, tired buzzwords that we’ve all come to know and love:

"Radical,” “extremist” -- he even calls me a "socialist.”

This is classic David Valadao. He’s light on substance, hides from the media when his record cutting health care is scrutinized, but more than willing to fear-monger to win an election.

I’m no stranger to lazy, false smears -- it’s what I expect from today’s Republican Party. But there’s no way I’m letting this go unanswered.

Friend, Valadao and his corporate PAC allies have virtually unlimited money to spend on these attacks and more. So it’s important — for the sake of keeping this seat blue — that I ask:

Will you make a $3 donation to my grassroots-powered campaign? Your contributions help us combat these attacks, grow our campaign, and keep our Majority in the House.

All my very best,

TJ Cox
