John, did you catch my debate against Ted Cruz this week? In case you missed it, here are the highlights:

• I talked about some really important issues in this election: Like women's reproductive freedoms, affordable health care, and building an economy that works for every Texan.
   
• Ted Cruz was classic Ted: Hurling baseless attacks, sidestepping tough questions, and reminding Texans how badly he’s disappointed us over the last 12 years.

My debate with Ted was a huge reminder that it’s time for real leadership in Texas, and we have our best shot EVER at sending him packing for good. If you're as PUMPED UP as I am after the debate, I hope you’ll split a donation of $5 or more between my campaign and Jacky Rosen’s to help me win and finally rid ourselves of Ted Cruz.

We’ve got a huge deadline at midnight – a really important one. Ted Cruz and his allies are already spending over $34 million to defeat me, and they'll be looking for any sign of weakness, so it's really important to have a strong showing this month.

That's why I'm urgently asking: Will you split a donation of $5, $25, or anything at all between me and Jacky Rosen to help reach my $300,000 goal by midnight? Every dollar truly matters at this stage in the race and gets us one step closer to defeating Ted Cruz and bringing real leadership to Texas!

Thanks so much for giving what you can! It means the world to have you on this team.
