John, I'll keep this quick:

Roll Call has upgraded Texas from a "Safe Republican" seat to a "Battleground", making this race the only chance we have to pick up a GOP-held seat – a powerful testament to the grassroots movement we're building against Ted Cruz. But, CBS News says this could be one of the most competitive and expensive races this cycle.

That's why my mid-month fundraising deadline is so important – we have to hit every goal to win this race. But right now, we're $100,000 short.

So please, I'm counting on your help. Will you split a donation of $25 or more between my campaign and Southern Progress to help me beat Ted Cruz? Use this link to split a donation between my campaign and Southern Progress: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/allred/mid-month

It means the world to me to have you on my team – thank you so much.

Colin
