I'm wondering if there's anything I can possibly say to convince you to chip in $5.

What if I told you that Ted Cruz won by just 2.6% in 2018?

What if I told you that CNN is calling him the most vulnerable GOP senator on the ballot this year?

And what if I told you that after months of trailing, a recent poll shows us TIED? Would you give just $5 to me and Catherine Cortez Masto to reach our $750,000 end-of-quarter goal to help ensure I have the resources I need to take the lead?

I know $5 might not seem like much, but that's what this grassroots campaign is made of: $5 and $10 donations from folks like you who are sick and tired of Ted Cruz's culture wars and extremism.

That's what has helped us pull even in the polls – and we need to keep up our momentum if we're going to reach millions of voters across the state, fire Ted Cruz, and finally give Texans the senator we deserve.

So please, John, rush $5 – or any amount you can spare – ahead of tomorrow's end-of-quarter deadline. For a grassroots campaign like ours, it really could be the difference between winning and losing.

It means so much to have you on my team. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
