Friend, I need 30 seconds of your time to read this.

I need to raise another $10,000 by midnight to make sure I have the resources to beat Ted Cruz – can you rush $5 or more to help me get there?

I've been an underdog my whole life, and this race is no different. But overcoming the odds means I can't fall short of any goal my team and I set – and that starts with tonight's.

I'm counting on your grassroots support to help me make up the ground to hit my goal to help reach the millions of Texans we need to win and fire Ted Cruz once and for all.

Please, will you give $5 – or whatever you can spare – right now to help me close the $10,000 gap on tonight's $200,000 rapid-response goal and defeat Ted Cruz this November?

Thanks for stepping up when I need you most, friend.

– Colin
