Friend: I need just two minutes of your time.

Early polls show me with a slight lead over my opponents, Ken Paxton and John Cornyn, which proves we CAN flip Texas blue.

But with Republicans funneling MILLIONS of dollars into this race to salvage this seat, we simply can't afford to fall short of our $50,000 daily fundraising goal and lose our momentum this early on.

That's why I'm reaching out personally. Unless we raise another $8k before midnight, we will miss this goal – so please: Will you chip in a split donation of $15 right now between my campaign and Democracy Defense Action to help close our budget gap, hit our goal, win in Texas, and bring a new generation of leadership to the U.S. Senate?

Political forecasters agree we have a real chance to flip this battleground seat.

In just the first few weeks since launching this campaign, the Cook Political Report upgraded our chances of winning, and The Hill ranked this one of Democrats' best (and only!) pickup opportunities in the entire country!

But Republicans are raising millions to defeat me, and they're already spending it on attacks against me.

I don't accept corporate PAC donations, so without your grassroots support, I simply won't have the resources to fight back.

Time is running out, and I have nowhere else to turn, so please, friend: Will you rush a split donation of $15 – or any amount you can spare before MIDNIGHT – so I can give Texans the leadership we deserve and help Democrats pick up a critical seat in the Senate?

Thank you for stepping up. Together, we can win this.
