John, I have an important question: Can you chip in just $5 right now to help me hit my critical $100,000 daily fundraising goal so we can defeat Ted Cruz and keep our Senate majority?

I am sorry to be so frank with you, John, but here's why that $5 is more critical than ever before:

- Ted Cruz won by just 2.6% in his last election.

- Experts are calling him the most vulnerable GOP Senator in the country.

- Not one, but TWO polls show us TIED right now.

- And if we win here in Texas, Democrats are virtually guaranteed to hold the Senate.

Seriously, just $5 can make a HUGE difference to our grassroots campaign.

I know it might not sound like much when you think of the tens of millions Cruz has raised. But it adds up! If everyone reading this chips in $5, we'll reach our $100,000 daily goal in a matter of minutes, and we'll be that much closer to beating Ted Cruz and protecting the Senate.

So coming off the amazing energy of the Democratic National Convention, don't wait: Will you give just $5 so that I can keep up with Ted's millions, reach voters in every corner of Texas, pull ahead in the polls, and help Democrats protect the Senate? In a race this close and this expensive, I can't get to the finish line without supporters like you, John. →

Thanks for fighting with me.
