Team – when I ran for Congress in 2018, the odds were stacked against me.
My opponent was a Republican Congressman who had held his seat for 11 terms. My team and I put everything we had into the campaign – but just 48 days from the election, the polls gave my campaign a 10% chance of winning, and the district was leaning Republican.
In the last days of the race, I worked day and night to connect with Texans and earn their votes. I slowly chipped away at my opponent's lead as voters got to know me.
By Election Day, I had a 37% chance of victory. And when the numbers finally came in, I won with 52% of the vote.

This time around we're facing an even bigger opponent: Ted Cruz. But we're starting this race with much better odds. Polls show my campaign just 5 points down with 14% of voters undecided.
What's more, Ted Cruz only won reelection by 2.6% last time.
We have a clear path to victory, and all it's going to take is connecting with enough undecided voters. That's why I am on the road traveling to every corner of Texas, shaking every hand I can and listening to what voters have to say.
But voter outreach on this massive scale is expensive. That's why I'm counting on grassroots supporters like you to help me do this, so please: Can you split a donation of $10 between my campaign and Fair Shot PAC before our midnight fundraising deadline to help us reach the undecided voters we need to fire Ted Cruz? →
