I'm wondering if there's anything I can possibly say to convince you to chip in $5.

What if I told you that Ted Cruz won by just 2.6% in 2018?

What if I told you that CNN is calling him the most vulnerable GOP Senator on the ballot this year?

And what if I told you that after months of trailing, a new poll released last week shows me 1 POINT UP in this race?

NOW is the time to build on this momentum, John. Would you split just $5 between my campaign and Jacky Rosen’s to help me reach my critical $3 million end-of-quarter fundraising goal and ensure I can hold this lead through Election Day?

I know $5 might not seem like much, but that's what this grassroots campaign is made of: $5 and $25 donations from folks like you who are sick and tired of Ted Cruz's culture wars and extremism.

That's what has helped us pull ahead in the polls – and we need to keep up our momentum if we're going to reach millions of voters across the state, fire Ted Cruz, and finally give Texans the Senator we deserve.

So please, friend, rush $5 – or any amount you can spare – ahead of our end-of-quarter deadline. For a grassroots campaign like ours, it really could be the difference between winning and losing.

It means so much to have you on my team. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
