John, last week I joined Chris Hayes on MSNBC to talk about my campaign to defeat Ted Cruz.

Texans shouldn't have to be embarrassed by our Senator. We shouldn't have to wonder which of our rights he's going to attack next or worry that he'll abandon us in a critical moment of need. Texans are ready for change, and I know we can win this thing.

FiveThirtyEight called Ted Cruz one of the most vulnerable Republican Senators in the country, and a recent poll shows us statistically tied – these are HUGE signs of the power of our campaign. 

So I want you to know I'm running this race for all Texans and that we can win – but I need your help, John. Defeating Ted Cruz is going to take a Texas-sized outpouring of grassroots support, and I'm counting on you to be a part of it. Please, will you donate $5 or more today to help me beat Ted Cruz and give Texans the leader they deserve? →

John, this race isn't going to be easy. Ted Cruz is at the mercy of special interests and mega donors who will happily give him millions in exchange for his loyalty.

But I don't take corporate money. I'm running a grassroots campaign because I answer to the folks who elect me – not the highest bidder. So I'm counting on you to make sure I have the resources I need to win this race.

Will you donate $5 or more to help me reach my $65,000 daily fundraising goal by midnight? Every dollar truly makes a difference in our fight to defeat Ted Cruz, flip Texas blue and defend the Senate. →

Thank you so much. Let's do this!
