John, I'm running to defeat Ted Cruz and become the first ever Black Senator from Texas. If you’re already with me, will you make a split donation to me and the Voter Protection Project to help power my grassroots campaign? →
All the way back in 1870, Hiram Rhodes Revels, a pastor and State Senator from Mississippi, was elected as the first Black US Senator. Since then, we've come a long way as a country. But representation – like our democracy – is a work in progress, and I believe we can do better.
Black Americans have long faced far too many obstacles like: discrimination, lower pay, higher job instability – not to mention the racist voter suppression laws that Texas Republicans like Ted Cruz have championed, which make it harder for certain folks to vote.
The bottom line is this: It's essential that our government reflects the people it represents.
I'm ready to defeat Ted Cruz this November and fight to build a more perfect union for my boys and every kid in Texas. But unlike Ted Cruz, I don't have corporate special interests footing the bill for my campaign.
To win, I need a massive movement of grassroots supporters to step up and join me in this fight. Please, will you donate to me and the Voter Protection Project to power my campaign to defeat Ted Cruz, become the first Black Senator from Texas, and be the leader Texans deserve? →
