John,

Just this morning, I officially ended my campaign for U.S. Senate and filed to run for Congress in Texas’ 33rd Congressional District.

I didn’t come to this decision lightly – I’ve put everything I had into my Senate campaign over the last five months, traveling to every corner of the state, talking to as many Texans as I could, building on the incredible grassroots campaign we started last year.

While it was clear that many Texans were ready to support me to the end, it was also clear that the Democratic primary would end up in a bruising and costly runoff in May. And if we want to prevent another MAGA loyalist from representing our state for six more years, that’s simply a risk we can’t afford to take.

So today I am announcing my campaign to represent the newly drawn 33rd District in Texas. If you’d still like to see me head to Washington in November, I hope you’ll consider making a donation to get my new campaign off to a strong start today.

District 33 was racially gerrymandered by Republicans in an effort to further rig our democracy, but it’s still the community where I grew up attending public schools and watching my mom struggle to pay for our groceries. It’s the community where Aly and I are raising our two boys. It is my home.

The threats that our democracy and our way of living are facing right now are real. It’s harder than ever for kids like me to get a shot, and for single moms like mine to afford their basic needs. But I am more confident than I have ever been that together, we can beat these threats. That’s why I am humbly asking for your help to return to Congress to fight for North Texans, our democracy, and the American Dream.

If you can, please chip in a few bucks to help me get started. Thank you for reading, and for all of your continued support as we fight to get Texas representation we can be proud of.
