Colin Allred for Senate

John, we made a mistake in our last email.

In our last message, we told you we only had $10,219 left toward our $100,000 goal ahead of tonight's deadline – but we got the number wrong, and our finance director just confirmed we're actually still $20,219 short.

This shortfall couldn't come at a worse time. After a brand-new poll out last week showed Colin statistically TIED with Ted Cruz, we just launched our first TV ad of the campaign to share Colin's message with undecided voters and take the lead in this race!

But because of this slight number mishap, we're at risk of missing our goal which could mean scaling back on critical campaign operations like airtime for our TV ad and other voter outreach. That would mean falling short of reaching the undecided voters we need to pull ahead in the polls and defeat Ted Cruz.

So we had to reach back out, because we're counting on you to help us make up this unexpected gap: Will you rush $5 right now so that we can hit our $100,000 goal and continue to reach voters by running our ad, knocking doors, and hitting the phones? Every single dollar you chip in right now will go directly toward our efforts to kick Ted Cruz out of office once and for all. →

Subject: Our hard work is paying off

John, in a moment, I'm going to ask for your help to reach undecided voters across Texas and pull ahead in the polls. But first, I've got fantastic news:

A brand-new poll out last week showed me statistically tied with Ted Cruz, and this week, we launched our first TV ad across key regions in Texas.

As we speak, our message is reaching critical new voters who will grow this grassroots team and help us to finally send Ted packing.

Our hard work is paying off, John, and I've never felt better about our chances of winning.

Just a couple months ago, CNN called Ted the most vulnerable GOP Senator in the country, and the election experts at FiveThirtyEight said we're Democrats' best chance to pick up a Senate seat. Now, with the polls showing how much momentum we have behind us, we're on the verge of taking the lead.

But here's the deal: TV airtime isn't cheap, especially in Texas. Neither is covering ground across our massive 254 county state to reach all those undecided voters. If we're going to pull ahead of Cruz, we have to keep reaching as many voters, in as many ways as possible.

Unlike Ted Cruz, I don't have GOP mega donors or special-interest cronies on speed dial. If I want to hit my goals, I've got to do it the old-fashioned way – by asking grassroots supporters like you to pitch in a couple bucks here and there.

My team and I set a goal to raise $100,000 by midnight tonight – and we're just $10,219 short. But with a few hours to go, this is a goal that we can't miss.

So here's that important ask I mentioned at the top of this message: Will you please chip in $5 right now so that my team can reach more undecided voters where they are by buying more airtime, knocking on doors, and hitting the phones? If we don't take advantage of our momentum now, we might never get it back. →

Thank you for helping to grow this grassroots movement every day.
