Hi,
In just under 100 days, we have a chance to do something that hasn't been done in decades: we have a chance to turn Texas blue and deliver our 38 Electoral College votes to a Democratic president.
Winning in November isn't just about beating Donald Trump and electing Joe Biden. We have a real shot at getting John Cornyn out of the Senate; expanding our Texas congressional delegation; setting the agenda in the Texas Senate; flipping the Texas House; and electing hundreds of local Democrats across the state.
The coronavirus pandemic forced us to rework our Path to Victory. It's no longer safe to connect with voters using the techniques we've relied on in the past -- like knocking on doors and gathering in-person for phone banks and block-walks.
In a moment, I want to share more about Texas Democrats' new Path to Victory. But first, I need to ask:

Over a year ago, we announced our Path to Victory -- but the coronavirus forced us to adapt and update our plan. Our new plan will require innovation, a large investment in our digital infrastructure, and hiring more talented operatives to help us deliver victories up and down the ballot.
When you donate today, you're help fund some of the key components of our new Path to Victory:
- Organizing in the Time of the Coronavirus: We're running a digital-first program that includes digital organizing and a seven-figure investment in digital ads to reach and persuade voters.
- Reaching out to new voters: Texas has millions of registered Democratic voters who don't always vote. We're reaching out to them and motivating them to vote in this election. We're also targeting and persuading moderate and independent voters who are fed up with Trump to vote for Democrats.
- Running a coordinated campaign as BIG as Texas: We're running the largest coordinated campaign in Texas history. This is a fully integrated effort to elect Democrats up and down the ballot -- including data, training, county party support, candidate services, and organizing.
Executing on the winning strategy laid out in our new Path to Victory is going to take a massive investment in our team's infrastructure -- and today, I'm inviting you to support our efforts.

I won't sugarcoat it: there's a lot of work to do between now and November 3. But now's not the time to get overwhelmed -- it's time to get to work. If we all pull our weight, I know we can win in November.
Thanks for everything you do,
Dr. Carla Brailey
Vice-Chair, Texas Democratic Party
