Friend, beating Ted Cruz is a case of simple math.

Democrats lost this seat by just 2.6% in 2018, and FIVE recent polls show Colin statistically tied with Ted Cruz.

If we can get 3% more people to vote this year – that's a few hundred thousand across the second biggest state in the country – we can FINALLY bid farewell to Ted.

But we believe we can do even better than that, especially after the momentum Colin has had since his electrifying DNC speech. Texans are FIRED UP and ready for change. But we're counting on your grassroots support to help Colin continue reaching voters and get out the vote on Election Day!

Will you please chip in $5 or more to help us reach our $500,000 Voter Contact Fund goal and make sure Colin has the resources to defeat Ted Cruz? Polls show this race is neck and neck, and if we can win here, Democrats are all but guaranteed to defend the Senate.

Unfortunately, Texas is one of the hardest states in the country to cast a ballot as a result of a wave of GOP-led voter suppression laws.

The state requires voters to register a full 30 days before Election Day but doesn't allow online registration, severely limits who can vote by mail, creates longer lines at polling places by limiting early voting and the number of polling locations, and has some of the strictest voter ID laws.

This all means it is that much more important for our team to be out there helping people register in time, making sure they know the laws and their rights, and getting them out to the polls on Election Day. Reaching today's goal helps us do all that over the next 49 days, so please, chip in $5 – or whatever you can – to help Colin and our team mobilize Texas.

We're so close, but we need to leave it all on the field between now and Election Day! Thanks for helping our campaign across the goal line.

– Team Colin Allred
