John,

This year, Colin Allred announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate against Ted Cruz. CNN is calling this Senate seat one of the most likely to flip – and with Senate control on the line, everybody from Mitch McConnell to far-right outside groups will do whatever it takes to defeat Colin.

That's why we're making an important ask of you – one that will determine whether our campaign begins 2024 as strong as possible: Will you take this last chance to become a 2023 Founding Donor to this campaign by donating $5 or more today? We need 5,000 new 2023 Founding Donors to join us before midnight, and every dollar you give will ensure we have the resources we need to defeat Ted Cruz and flip Texas blue.

Defeating Ted Cruz is going to be tough, there's no way around that. He has tens of millions of dollars in right-wing money behind him. He'll use that money to attack Colin relentlessly because he and his donors know that Senate control could come down to this Senate seat in Texas.

But don't forget, Ted's not some right-wing politician in a comfortable deep-red seat – he barely won his last race by just over 2% and now he's more vulnerable than ever.

That means our ability to beat him depends on us building up the resources now so we can register voters, get people out across the state, and reach undecided voters. That's how Colin defeated a 22-year GOP incumbent in 2018 when all the election experts doubted him, and that's how we're going to win here.

So we need you with us right now, John. We need 5,000 more 2023 Founding Donors before midnight tonight. If you care about defeating Ted Cruz, please chip in $5 or more – whatever you can spare – before our midnight deadline to help us flip Texas blue and protect our Senate majority!
