Hi, John, it’s Colin Allred reaching out with some exciting news: I just officially filed to be on the ballot to become Texas’ next Senator in 2024!
 I’m so proud of how far we’ve come since launching this campaign – and it’s all because of folks like you. But if there was ever a moment to build on our momentum, this is it. You and I both know that we don’t have to be embarrassed by our Senator – we can get a new one! With my name officially on the ballot, Ted Cruz and his wealthy allies will be trying harder than ever to crush our movement, and I’m counting on you to help me show the strength of our grassroots team. That’s why I’m personally asking: Will you split $15 or more between my campaign and Defeat Republicans to help me reach our goal to raise $150,000 today? Every dollar helps power our movement to defeat Ted Cruz, defend our Democratic Senate majority, and bring real leadership to Texas. Please, donate now. →
My fight to defeat Ted Cruz is personal. I’m a 4th generation Texan, born and raised in Dallas by a single mom. She was a public school teacher and sometimes worked two jobs to make ends meet. Thanks to my family and a strong support system of teachers, coaches, and the good folks at the YMCA, I earned a full ride scholarship to Baylor University and then went on to play in the NFL. I decided to run for Congress to help more kids in North Texas to have the opportunity to achieve their version of the American dream. I beat the odds – and an 11-term Republican incumbent – to help Democrats flip the House blue in 2018. Now, I’m running against Ted Cruz because I’m sick and tired of watching him fail our state, and experts from CNN to FiveThirtyEight agree I can win. But not without your help, John. Thanks to wealthy mega donors and special interests, Ted Cruz has raised more than $40 million for his re-election campaign – and I’m counting on grassroots supporters like you to make sure I have what it takes to compete. Please, will you split an immediate donation of $15 or more between my campaign and Defeat Republicans so we can fire Ted Cruz and bring real leadership to Texas? Thank you so much for being a part of this movement. We still have a long way to go, but together, I know we’ve got what it takes to win this thing. Let’s do this. Colin Allred
