Friend, if you had told me playing in the NFL was a lot like working in Congress – I never would have believed you. But it prepared me more than I could have imagined.

Football is the ultimate team sport. No one wins the Super Bowl alone, and no one succeeds by being selfish. You have to learn to work with people you don’t see eye to eye with all the time, but you learn to value and respect your differences.

That’s what I do every day representing TX-32 – work with lawmakers I don’t always agree with to make progress for families in my district and all Americans. I recognize that it’s not all about me, just like football was never all about me – it’s about being a voice in Washington for the people we represent.

But Ted Cruz is selfish. He puts himself first every single chance he gets, he’s completely out of touch with what everyday Texans want and need, and he’s shown time and time again that he’s incapable of change or compromise.

I've taken down way tougher guys than Ted in the NFL, and now I'm running to defeat him because I know we deserve better – but I need your help to do it.

CNN says Ted Cruz is the most vulnerable Republican in the country, and experts have called Texas a battleground state. This is shaping up to be one of the most competitive and expensive races in the country, and I need you on my grassroots team. Please, will you chip in $5, or whatever you can spare today, to help me defeat Ted Cruz? →

Thanks for being on my team.
