Hi John,

My name is MJ Hegar, and I’m the woman who’s going to flip Texas’ Senate seat.

Adam asked me to reach out and tell you more about my race to unseat Republican Senator John Cornyn this November. I'm also going to ask you for a contribution to my campaign, and I hope this will help explain why.

If you don’t have time to read all the way through, you can pitch in here to help our campaigns: [[link removed]]

I dreamed of being a pilot ever since watching Star Wars as a little girl. I was often dismissed with claims that "the front is no place for a woman," but that wasn't a good enough reason for me to let go of my dream. So, I became a commissioned officer in the Air Force, qualified for the Air National Guard, and went on to serve three tours in Afghanistan as a combat search-and-rescue and medevac pilot.

During a rescue mission, my helicopter was shot down by the Taliban, and I was injured by enemy gunfire. I was honored to have received both the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor for my service.

But my fight wasn't over. While I could no longer fly because of my injuries, I wanted to keep serving. But the reality was, no matter what I had proven along the way (and who I had proven wrong) women weren't allowed to compete for elite military jobs because of the Ground Combat Exclusion Policy.

The rule wasn't only unjust, but a detriment to military preparedness. So, I took the fight to DC and advocated to overturn the policy and open up hundreds of thousands of jobs for women in the military.

It was during this fight that I got a firsthand look at how broken Washington is — and it left me with a lot of concerns about the dysfunctional mess we were leaving for our children. And that's why I decided to take on my latest fight — running for the U.S. Senate.

This is the year we turn Texas blue. A new poll has Joe Biden and Donald Trump TIED here in Texas, and in my race against Senator John Cornyn has me down by JUST ONE POINT.

But I need your help to close the gap and win this thing. Will you split a contribution to mine and Adam’s campaigns so we can keep up the fight in the final 10 days of our races? [[link removed]]

Throughout my entire life, people have told me I couldn’t be a pilot, couldn’t serve my country, couldn’t take on the Pentagon and win—but every time someone tried to knock me down, I fought back and proved them wrong.

I know we can win this race, and I’m so grateful for your support.

Thanks,

MJ Hegar
