Hi, friend. It's Wendy Davis. I'm going to make a very important ask of you in a moment – but first, I want to tell you why. 

Colin Allred is a public servant through and through. That became clear when he was the DFW regional voter protection director for my gubernatorial campaign in 2014, and it's why I endorsed him for Congress in 2018 when he defied the odds to defeat a 22-year Republican incumbent. 

And now, as he has become the official Democratic nominee against Ted Cruz, I proudly stand by Colin as the best choice to represent the people of Texas and defend our fundamental reproductive freedoms.

I know he can defeat the anti-choice extremist Ted Cruz – who won his last election by just 2.6% – but it won't be easy. It's going to take a huge movement of grassroots supporters behind him every step of the way – and that starts with hitting his $1 million General Election Kickoff goal. So please: Will you chip in $5, or whatever you can, to help Colin reach voters, pull ahead, and defeat Ted Cruz?

Friend, when Roe was overturned in 2022, Ted Cruz called it "nothing short of a massive victory." And since that moment, he's kept his far-right benefactors happy by attacking our reproductive freedoms and stripping away women's rights for his own political gain. 

I don't have to tell you that Texans deserve so much better than Ted Cruz. He's attacked not only our right to choose but also the rights of our LGBTQ+ neighbors. He abandoned the people of Texas during a devastating winter storm when we needed him most, and he's more concerned with his podcast than taking care of the people he represents. 

Right now, we're closer than ever to sending Ted Cruz packing and electing a leader who will fight for the freedoms that matter to us. Elections experts agree that Colin can win – but he needs to build a winning movement of supporters, a movement that starts with you, friend. 

We can't let this opportunity to defeat Ted Cruz pass. Please, will you join me and donate $5 to support Colin Allred's campaign? Every dollar you give today brings us that much closer to finally giving Texans the leadership we need.

Thank you,

Wendy Davis
