Hola John, my name is Michelle Vallejo, and I am running to defeat far-right Republican Monica De La Cruz and represent TX-15 in Congress.

Border communities like ours are so often overlooked — but the reality is that TX-15 is one of the most competitive races in Texas and one of our best shots at turning Texas blue and taking back the House.

I'm running for Congress because unlike extremist, out-of-touch Republicans like Monica, I see just how hard everyday working people are struggling just to get by. Juntos, we have a chance to build a better future for South Texas and for ALL of us — including you, John.

But before I can get to Congress and fight to do just that, I need your help to put us in the best possible position moving forward. Will you help us fight back against Republican extremism by making a split donation between my campaign and EMILYs List?

We're at a critical moment, not just for the future of Texas, but for the country. Republican politicians like Ted Cruz and Monica De La Cruz make a lot of promises — but in Congress, their records tell a different story.

We need real leadership in Congress — someone who is ready to stand up and fight the hard battles to protect our rights to vote, to make choices about our own bodies, and to live in thriving, healthy communities.

I'm not afraid of the fight ahead because I've been underestimated and questioned before. But instead of letting that change me, I chose to proudly represent my roots through my education and work. It's why I decided to return to the Rio Grande Valley and get to work.

John, we have a chance to take back the House AND the state of Texas. The path to turning Texas blue runs through TX-15, and that's why I'm asking you to step up and make a split donation of any amount between this campaign and EMILYs List today.

¡Vamos por Quince!
