Folks,

Gina’s race to win Texas’ 23rd Congressional District is one that I am personally invested in for many reasons. Please chip in $20 to her campaign to help her win and then let me tell you why this race means so much to me.

Gina is an Air Force and Iraq War veteran, and like me, she served our country under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” If elected, Gina will be the first female Iraq War veteran and first openly LGBTQ person to represent Texas in Congress.

Gina’s opponent, Tony Gonzales, is endorsed by President Trump. Tony and the National Republican Campaign Committee have relentlessly attacked Gina for being a lesbian and for standing up for LGBTQ equality. Right now, they are running a TV ad attacking Gina for speaking out against the Trump administration’s transgender military ban.

Gina’s message is resonating with South and West Texans, and Tony and the NRCC are doing everything they can to distract voters from the real issues at stake in this election. Gina is running for Congress to expand access to quality, affordable health care, bring more good-paying jobs to the district, and ensure that our coronavirus recovery plan prioritizes working families.

If elected, Tony and his homophobic agenda would set LGBTQ rights back by decades. We simply can’t afford to send Tony Gonzales to Congress.

Will you join me on my mission to help Gina win this critical race and flip the most competitive district in the entire country from red to blue? Please do that by giving $10, $25, or even $50 right now to Gina’s campaign.

There are only 15 days until the election, so we have little time to spare.

In service,

Pete Buttigieg
