I wanted to make sure you saw this message from Colin, friend.
Colin Allred is a tireless public servant with a strong record of standing up for everyday Texans. Since Ted Cruz’s near-defeat in 2018, he's shown where his priorities lie -- flying off to Cancun while Texans were left freezing, and blocking common-sense measures to lower prescription drug prices, raise wages, enhance border security, and improve our infrastructure.
2024 is the year we turn the tide, friend. It's the year that Texans come together to send Ted Cruz packing. Colin's dedication and our collective effort can make this a reality. But he can't do it without your support. Every contribution propels us closer to a victory for Texas Democrats. Split a donation between Colin’s campaign and the Texas Democratic Party now!
Let's stand with Colin, and send Ted Cruz packing this November.
Adelante,
Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair, Texas Democratic Party
------ previous message ------
Friend, I’m Colin Allred, and I'm the official Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate against Ted Cruz.
Now, the real fight begins. I'm ready to outwork, outraise, and out-organize Ted Cruz to win this thing, and with multiple polls already showing me TIED with Ted, I'm confident we can do it. But I also know Cruz is backed by wealthy mega donors who will spend whatever it takes to keep him in office.
That’s why I need you with me: Please, will you chip in $10 -- or whatever you can spare -- to help reach my $1 million General Election Kickoff goal?
I’m a fourth generation Texan, born and raised in Dallas by a single mom. My mom was a public school teacher and sometimes worked two jobs to make ends meet. Thanks to my family and a strong support system of teachers, coaches, and the good folks at the YMCA, I earned a full-ride football scholarship to Baylor University and then went on to play in the NFL.
But playing football was never my only dream -- from a young age I knew I wanted to help people. So I became a civil rights attorney to defend what I believe is our most fundamental right: the right to vote. I proudly served in President Obama’s administration before I came home to Dallas, where my wife, Aly, and I are now raising our family.
I ran for Congress in 2018 because I wanted more kids in North Texas to have the opportunity to achieve their version of the American dream. I also saw that our democracy was in peril and wanted to be part of protecting it. No one gave me a chance in that race, but I beat the odds to defeat an 11-term Republican incumbent. Since then, I'm proud to have been named the most bipartisan member of the Texas delegation.
Now, I’m ready for my next challenge: firing Ted Cruz and being the voice all Texans need in the Senate. We're already better off than we were in 2018, with experts calling Cruz the most vulnerable GOP Senator in the country, and two polls in a row showing us tied. I'm not saying it will be easy, but with you on my grassroots team, I know we can get it done, friend.
