John, I'd like to introduce you to Mike Siegel in Texas.
Mike is a civil rights lawyer and former public school teacher running for Congress in the Texas 10th.
He taught in the classroom for five years, and founded two nonprofit education agencies that, nearly 20 years later, continue to provide free after-school and summer programs to hundreds of children. After attending law school, Mike worked as a plaintiff-side employment lawyer, representing women who suffered discrimination in the workplace and whistleblowers who suffered retaliation.
As an Austin city attorney, he represented the city in lawsuits against the State of Texas and on behalf of immigrant families, firefighters, low-income renters, and constituents in support of common sense gun regulations.
Mike is a true fighting progressive. Even better, Mike can flip this district as we keep turning Texas blue one election at a time.
Check him out for yourself right now by watching his powerful campaign video. He'll introduce you to a farmer in his district where the fight for a Green New Deal is personal after the local coal plant destroyed his health and his farm. You'll find out who Mike's fighting for and how working for people is what drives his campaign all in just 3 minutes.
After you check it out, if you're like me and want to see Mike stand up for progressives in Congress, then contribute what you can to fuel the campaign right now at this critical time.
Trump Republican Congressman McCaul is vulnerable.
In 2018, Mike Siegel came closer to flipping the district then any Democrat in the last 20 years as the Republican squeaked in with 51% of the vote.
This time Mike is going to win. Know how I know?
Last time Mike didn't have DFA members backing him. This time, working together, we're going to put him over the top and send this powerful progressive to Congress and another Trump Republican packing.
Check out Mike's campaign ad and then do what you can to help Mike win. Every. Single. Dollar. Counts. Please contribute right now!
Thank you for everything you're doing to elect powerful progressives to office nationwide.
Stay safe, stay healthy, and keep fighting to win.
-Charles
