john, this is Colin Allred.

Did you catch my debate against Ted Cruz Tuesday night? 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 this week’s debate, I hope you’ll split a donation of $10 or more between my campaign and Tina Smith to help me win and finally rid ourselves of Ted Cruz.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Colin Allred and Tina Smith will go through immediately:

CHIP IN $10 NOW CHIP IN $25 NOW

CHIP IN $50 NOW CHIP IN $100 NOW

CHIP IN $250 NOW ANOTHER AMOUNT

We need to raise $500,000 every single day to make sure we have enough resources before Election Day. Ted Cruz and his allies are already spending over $34 million to defeat me, and they'll be looking for any sign of weakness.

That's why I'm urgently asking: Will you split a donation of $10, $25, or anything at all between me and Tina Smith to help reach my $500,000 daily fundraising 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.

Colin
