JOHN,

Last night, I joined Jim Sciutto on CNN to talk about something that matters deeply to me—and I believe to you too: protecting our democracy and defending working families in Texas’s 9th Congressional District.

We talked about what’s happening here on the ground:

— MAGA extremists trying to gerrymander TX-09 out of existence
— Skyrocketing costs and failed leadership from both Trump and Abbott
— A political system that’s being rigged to keep people like you and me from having a real voice

I stepped up to run for Congress because I’ve spent my life serving this country, first in an F-16 fighter jet over Iraq and later in command of the International Space Station. I know what leadership looks like when the stakes are high.

And now, people are starting to pay attention. If everyone reading this email could contribute just $5 or $10 to my campaign today, we’ll be able to build a team that will make Greg Abbott’s power grab backfire.

My appearance on CNN was a signal that this campaign is building serious momentum.

But if we want to keep growing, keep reaching voters, and keep up the pressure on the GOP machine that’s trying to steal this seat—we need your help right now.

Will you chip in today to help keep building the momentum we need to win in Texas?

We’re doing this the right way: grassroots-powered, truth-driven, and focused on what matters to the people of this district.

Thanks for being part of it.
