We've come such a long way since launching this campaign one year ago.
I want to share some highlights and show you how far we've come, but first, I have to ask: My team and I need to raise $300,000 by MIDNIGHT to keep this campaign running strong to finally defeat Ted Cruz, so I'm personally asking: Will you chip in a split donation between my campaign and Democracy Defense Action to help us meet my campaign anniversary goal?
I've always known that Ted Cruz is wrong for Texas – but until Jan. 6, I never could have imagined myself running against him.
After that day, I knew without a doubt that Texans needed a Senator they can be proud of. So, after much consideration and talking it over with my wife, Aly, I announced my candidacy on May 3, 2023. |
From the start, I knew I would be the underdog. But just two weeks after launching this campaign, Roll Call upgraded our race from "Solid Republican" to "Battleground!" |
With supporters like you fired up to beat Ted Cruz, this team helped power our movement with hundreds of thousands of grassroots donations. That grassroots support enabled me to travel across Texas to meet voters and listen to the issues that impact the lives of Texas families. |
And it gets even better: Since we first launched our campaign, we've made huge gains in the polls. I am now TIED with Ted Cruz at 41%! |
