Tammy Baldwin here — I wanted to make sure you saw this message from Colin Allred's team. Colin is running to defeat Ted Cruz and win in Texas, so I hope you'll read this update and chip in if you can.

Bad news: Colin is locked in a dead heat against Ted Cruz in Texas – and according to the last public fundraising report, Cruz has raised more than any other Republican Senate candidate in the country!

Even worse: A right-wing super PAC, Club for Growth Action, pledged $10 MILLION to bolster Cruz's campaign with attack ads against Colin to crush our momentum.

Look, Colin Allred doesn’t take a dime from corporations or shady special interests. Instead, he’s counting on folks like you to make a donation before midnight: Please, will you chip in a split donation between Colin and Tammy Baldwin of anything at all to help reach our 6,000-donation goal and fire Ted Cruz?

It's no secret what's happening: After Cruz won by just 2.6% last time around and TWO polls showed Colin and him tied, Ted Cruz and his extremist allies are panicking and doing whatever it takes to help him save this seat.

We’re ready to respond to their attacks and do whatever it takes to beat Ted Cruz – but Colin needs your help to get it done. Please, make a split donation before our midnight deadline.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Colin Allred and Tammy Baldwin will go through immediately:

With your help, we can win this thing and deliver real leadership for Texans.

– Team Allred
