Team, 

I'll start with the good news: Recently, we announced our fundraising numbers from last quarter — with your help, our grassroots movement raised more than $900,000 from more than 20,000 individual contributions to bring real representation back to TX-25!

We did it the right way, without taking a dime of PAC money. And we outraised our opponent while doing it.

But there's no way to spin the bad news: Roger Williams outspent us by 2-to-1 AND he has a cash-on-hand advantage — not to mention the super PACs coming in at the last minute to help him. 

We need to start closing the gap right away. More money right now means more resources to get out the vote for Julie with early voting underway. With just 17 days until Election Day, we can't afford to fall short.

Can you chip in $5 or anything you can today to help close the gap? This is the most critical period of time in this election, and Julie needs a surge of grassroots support to stay competitive.

CHIP IN $5

We always knew we were going to be outraised by a wealthy candidate, especially when Julie made the decision to refuse all PAC money. It's the only way that she feels that she can ensure that those she wants to represent and serve know that she is not in anyone's pocket.

It's in sharp contrast to Roger Williams, who used his role on the House Financial Services Committee to pressure a bank on behalf of a wealthy donor to his campaign and took as much as $2 million in taxpayer loans for his personal business. 

People in this district are tired of the corruption and broken promises, which is why we're in striking distance of flipping this seat. But it's going to be tough to win without the resources to expand our digital ads and voter contact.

We don't want to wake up on November 4th wondering if we could have done more for Julie. Help us reach more voters and counteract our opponent's big money by chipping in now.

Roger Williams may have super PACs, but we have grassroots support from people like you. You've helped us get this far — now, it's time to bring it home.

Thanks,
