Friends -

We have just a few weeks left to put in the work necessary to flip the Senate. That’s why I’m personally asking you to split a $3 donation between MJ Hegar’s campaign for Senate in Texas and my re-election today.

I’ll explain more about why your contribution is so important in just a moment, but if you already understand what’s at stake, then please use this link to make that $3 donation:

We’ve put Texas in seriously in play this year. A new poll shows this is a one-point race. Take a look:

Civiqs Poll - October 2020
John Cornyn (R): 47%
MJ Hegar (D): 46%

Margin of error: ±3.4%

If we win in Texas, there’s no question that Democrats will take the Senate majority and end Mitch McConnell’s reign.

And in the Senate, MJ will be a strong ally in the fight to save our planet. Taking action on climate is one of the top reasons MJ got in this race — to create a livable future for her two sons and young people everywhere.

But Republicans are spending millions of dollars to keep us from flipping the state. Texas is Big Oil’s turf, and they’ll do everything possible to keep this seat in Republican control to protect McConnell’s majority.

The only way MJ can compete with the millions that Republicans are spending to defeat her is with our grassroots support. That’s why your $3 contribution is so important.

If you are able to, please split a $3 contribution between MJ Hegar’s campaign in Texas and my re-election. Your support will go a long way toward flipping the Senate and passing our bold progressive agenda.

MJ is a combat veteran who fought hard to end discriminatory laws in the military. After seeing the dysfunction of Washington firsthand, she pledged to make our government work for the people — not wealthy special interests.

She is exactly the kind of fighter I need fighting alongside me in the Senate. Thank you for pitching in to help win this race and flip Texas.
