John,

My friend and colleague Colin Allred is running for the U.S. Senate seat in Texas. In a moment, I’m going to ask you to split a donation between my campaign and Colin Allred. But first, here's what you need to know about Colin:

-- Colin was raised by a public school teacher -- just like me.

-- After serving as captain of the football team at Baylor and playing in the NFL, Colin became a civil rights attorney and fought to protect the right to vote.

-- In Congress he worked to pass legislation lowering the cost of prescription drugs, supporting our veterans, and strengthening our infrastructure. More than 70% of the bills he's cosponsored have been bipartisan.

And unlike his opponent, Ted Cruz, Colin will fight to protect reproductive rights and make sure that women can make their own health care decisions -- not politicians.

According to a Morning Consult poll, Colin is within 1 point of winning this seat! Let us join together to elect Colin Allred to the U.S. Senate this November. Will you split a donation between my campaign and Colin Allred?

Let’s go win this!

Amy
