Friend,

I'm writing to you today to let you know that I'm throwing my wholehearted support behind Colin Allred, and personally asking you to help him win his race against Ted Cruz.

As chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, a big part of my job is identifying  the most competitive Senate races in the country and making sure our Democratic candidates have the resources they need to win. I've done the research, and I can tell you with certainty that Texas is one of our best pickup opportunities this year.

Helping Colin win here would go a very long way in the fight to keep our razor-thin Democratic Senate majority.

But polls show this race is tied, and Ted Cruz and his allies are looking at the same headlines we are. They'll be pulling out all the stops to get ahead and hold on to this critical seat.

Will you chip in $5 or more to help Colin reach his $65,000 goal by midnight and make sure he has the resources he needs to defeat Ted Cruz? Colin's running a true grassroots campaign, so every dollar makes a real difference.

I firmly believe Colin will be the leader Texans deserve in the Senate and with our help, he's the Democrat who can finally send Ted Cruz packing.

Colin is a fourth-generation Texan and a proven leader in the House, where he's fought for voting rights, reproductive freedom, affordable health care, and more. He defeated a 22-year GOP incumbent to get there, so he's no stranger to a tough race. But now that he's past the primary, Ted Cruz and his GOP allies will be attacking him with everything they've got. Colin's counting on this grassroots team to fight back.

We simply won't be able to defeat Ted Cruz and his mega donors without supporters like you standing with Colin. So please, will you donate $20, $10, or even just $5 right now to help Colin reach his midnight goal to secure the resources he needs to pull ahead and beat Ted Cruz?

Thank you for stepping up, friend,

Gary Peters
