John, I wanted to reach out to you today to let you know why I’m supporting Julie Johnson in her run for Congress. 

As the first gay black member of Congress, I know the importance of breaking barriers. And as a kid from the Bronx, raised by a single mom who made minimum wage, I know what a difference it can make in people’s lives when elected officials have experience fighting for our shared values.

It’s crucial that Julie wins her primary election so she can take on the GOP in November and keep TX-32 blue. Will you join me in supporting Julie by making a donation of $25 or any amount right away?

Julie is a proven fighter with a track record for bringing together the coalitions needed to get things done.

In her role in the Texas House, she’s gone toe to toe with powerful special interests and dysfunctional Republicans - and she’s won. When elected, she’ll be ready to hit the ground running on day one - and she’ll make history by becoming the first openly gay member of Congress from the south.

John, Julie will NEVER back down from a fight. I need her with me in Congress. 

Please join me in supporting my friend Julie Johnson by chipping in $25 or anything you can right away.

Thank you, 

Congressman Ritchie Torres
