Hi,

In just a moment, I'm going to ask you to make a contribution to the Texas Democratic Party's Vote-By-Mail Fund. But first, I'd like to explain why your donation matters so much -- especially now.

As you know, Texas Republicans have spent decades trying to chip away at our state's voting rights with tactics like extreme voter ID laws and gerrymandering. And now, during a global pandemic that's ravaging our country and has left more than 160,000 Americans dead, Texas is one of the few states that's actively fighting to make it harder to vote by mail in the 2020 election.

Governor Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton and the rest of Texas Republicans have doubled down on their baseless rhetoric around vote-by-mail, and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick even called it "laughable" that people are afraid to vote in-person during a pandemic.

Let me be clear: forcing people to choose between voting or exposing themselves to the coronavirus isn't just cruel -- it's flat-out dangerous. Fortunately, there's something you can do right now to fight back.

The Texas Democratic Party is running their largest ever vote-by-mail operation this fall, with a goal of sending 815,000 vote-by-mail applications to Texans across the state. Elections are won and lost by vote-by-mail, so it's critical that this program is fully funded. I'm reaching out today to ask if you'll be a part of these efforts to help 815,000 Texans vote safely by mail in 2020.

Can you add a $1 contribution to the Texas Democratic Party's Vote-By-Mail Fund? Your donation today will allow them to send 2 vote-by-mail applications to Texans across the state.

We must win in November: the very future of our country depends on it. And it's definitely not going to be easy. But trust me on this, because I know a thing or two about tough odds: we CAN get this done.

It's no exaggeration when I say that Texas is the biggest battleground state in the country -- and when we win in November, it will be due in large part to supporters like you who have worked tirelessly to turn Texas blue.

Thanks so much for your support.

Wendy Davis
Democratic nominee for Texas Congressional District 21

The only way we will take back our country is if we all work together. We need to fund 815,000 vote-by-mail applications by this Friday. Can you rush a $7 contribution to fund our vote-by-mail program?

Yes, I'll chip in
