Friend, I'm reaching out on behalf of my friend Colin Allred – because right now, he needs our help.

If you're already all in to help Colin and don't need any more convincing, will you chip in $5 or more right now to help him reach his $3,000,000 end-of-quarter goal?

Now I know what you're thinking:

Yes, winning in Texas is a tall order.

Yes, this has become the most expensive Senate race in the nation.

Yes, National Republicans will do everything they can to keep their grip on his seat.

But don't mistake me: We have a very real shot at electing Colin and flipping Texas blue this November.

Colin is one of the hardest-working people I know – and just like me, he's no stranger to tough elections. He's been the underdog before, from his upbringing as the son of a single mom in Dallas to his race to defeat a 22-year Republican incumbent in 2018.

His hard work and the dedication from this team – including you, friend – has resulted in not just one, not two, but FIVE polls showing Colin TIED with his opponent.

But here's the challenge: The GOP is attacking Colin left and right, blanketing Texas' TV airwaves with $28 million worth of attack ads against him to make sure they hold this seat.

With the clock running down until Election Day, Colin is falling short of the grassroots resources he needs to fight back and win. I promised I'd help him raise another $2,236,000 by midnight on September 30 – but I can't get there without you, friend: Please, will you join me in chipping in $5 right now to flip this seat and keep the Senate blue?

Let's do this,

Mark Kelly
