[1]Talarico for Texas



One year ago today, we launched our campaign for United States Senate in
Texas.

Truth be told, when I woke up that morning I had no idea what to expect.

There were a number of people who had encouraged me to run. My interview
with Joe Rogan got a lot of attention, and even President Obama had some
kind words to say about me during the Texas redistricting fight.

But the biggest question in my mind was whether or not we could build the
grassroots movement capable of not just taking on the Republican nominee
but also the billionaire mega-donors in this country who have rigged our
politics and pitted neighbor against neighbor for their own profit.

I soon got an answer to my question.

Twelve hours after announcing the launch of our campaign, we held a rally
in Round Rock, Texas. I was reviewing my speech as we drove up and got a
bit worried about arriving on time as we got stuck in traffic.

Turns out the traffic was from everyone else trying to get to our event…

More than 1,000 people showed up that night. And at that rally, I
announced that we had raised our first $1 million — within the first 12
hours of launching — powered by people contributing $5, $10, $50 at a time
to our campaign.

One year later we are building the largest grassroots campaign Texas has
ever seen and have a chance to win a race few thought was possible coming
into this election.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that Republicans understand the strength of our campaign.
So much so that they chose Texas as the place to hold their midterm
convention starting tonight.

It's going to be two days of speeches, events, and a lot of volunteer
mobilization and fundraising for them — with much of it likely directed
towards Ken Paxton.

That's something we have to counter if we are going to hold on to the very
slim lead we’ve fought so hard for.

So before tonight's Republican convention begins, I am asking, humbly:

[ [link removed] ]Can you please make a contribution to my campaign for
United States Senate in Texas? Do it before the Republican midterm
convention kicks off later on today.
