Friend, with just a few hours to go before our mid-month fundraising deadline, we're so close to hitting our fundraising goal – but at this moment, we're still falling short.

Texas Republicans have already redrawn our state’s congressional map in an unfair attempt to unseat me and rip away real representation from South Texas. Let’s be clear: This is an unprecedented attack on our democracy. But I won’t go down without a fight.

National Republicans are mobilizing to rush thousands into this race to defeat me. Now, the Cook Political Report downgraded my race from Lean D to Toss Up.

I won my last race by a razor-thin margin – and with our entire Democratic House majority on the line – I mean it when I say we can't afford a single mistake. I've been by your side in Washington, and I hope I can count on you to be by my side in this fight.

The stakes have never been higher, friend, so if you've been waiting for the right time to make your very first gift, this is it: Will you give $5 or more – before midnight tonight – to help us hit this goal, win in Texas, and win back the House majority?
