I am honored to be named the official Democratic nominee to run against and defeat Ted Cruz. Today, I have an important ask of you, friend:

Can you spare $5 to invest in our campaign to send Ted Cruz packing?

I know $5 probably doesn't sound like a lot. And now that we're closer than ever to defeating Ted Cruz, his special-interest buddies are pouring MILLIONS into his campaign coffers to buy him this seat. But I'm willing to bet that if everyone who's fired up to send Ted packing chips in just $5, we can leave him and his allies in the dust.

So please: Will you split $5 between my campaign and Maggie Hassan's right now so that we can continue to reach voters across Texas, climb in the polls, and defeat Ted Cruz on Election Day? Everything is bigger in Texas and this campaign is no exception, and it’s going to take a lot of resources to build the massive grassroots movement we need to win. I can't get there without you, friend.

Thank you for sticking with me. Let's do this.
