John —

I promised you from the start that I would run this campaign with radical transparency. So I want to take a moment to pull back the curtain in a way most U.S. Senate candidates would not.

Running within a rigged system doesn’t mean we have to give into what’s broken. We can reject the corruption of corporate PAC money and make clear that we are not going to sell our values to the highest bidder.

But it requires a whole lot of us digging deep to give whatever time or treasure we can spare if we want to take back Texas.

That’s especially true with our first full quarter FEC deadline on Thursday. The only way we hit our goals is with lots of people giving. Folks like you are the backbone of this campaign, and you deserve an honest look at what it will take for us to succeed.

Right now, it means reaching 7,000 donations before midnight to stay on track. It’s a steep goal, yes. And I promised radical transparency, so here it is.

The thermometer below is linked directly to our ActBlue and will update every few minutes. Everybody will be able to watch how we’re tracking. You can see for yourself whether we beat it or fall short.

Can you please make a donation of any amount and push us one step closer to taking back Texas? This FEC fundraising deadline is important. But if we each give a little, then we’ll hit our goal before you know it.

CONTRIBUTE

Showing these numbers requires vulnerability. But building a movement that can take back Texas requires trying something new.

We’ve seen where the DC playbook (sponsored by billionaires and corporate mega-donors) gets us. It fails the people and upholds a broken status quo.

The only way I want to run — and the only way I think a Democrat can flip Texas — is with a true grassroots movement of the people and for the people.

Am I nervous that we’re a long way from this goal right now? You bet. If we fall short, everyone will know.

But I owe you — the people funding this movement — honesty. Too many politicians forget there are real humans on the other side of these emails. They treat it like a transactional relationship. But I won’t.

Can you please contribute any amount that you can afford today to own a piece of this movement? Our goal is focused on the number of donations because the number of people powering this movement is just as important as the amount we raise.
