Friend --

In these final days, Texas has turned into a battleground for both the White House and Senate.

Voters in Texas are energized like never before: The state's early voting turnout surpassed the total turnout for 2016, and the race for Texas' Senate seat -- once considered a long shot for Democrats -- shows incumbent John Cornyn and Democratic challenger MJ Hegar closer than anyone predicted.

MJ Hegar is an outstanding candidate for Texas. I believe she has what it takes to flip this seat and bring Democrats one step closer to flipping the Senate -- but she needs our help to finish her campaign strong. So to‌day, I'm asking:

Can you rush a donation to MJ's campaign for the final get-out-the-vote push? Every dollar will boost our chances of flipping the Senate and turning Texas blue.

MJ is a working mom and former combat pilot who was awarded a Purple Heart after her helicopter was shot down by the Taliban.

Since then, she's successfully pushed the Pentagon to overturn the ban on women serving in ground combat, creating opportunities for hundreds of thousands of women to serve our country.

MJ's determination and principled leadership are just what we need in the Senate as we fight to protect the Affordable Care Act, stand up for the working people who have been hit hardest by this pandemic, and so much more.

Momentum is on MJ's side -- and flipping her seat could put Senate Democrats in the majority. Please donate to her campaign today to help get out the vote in Texas before the polls close tomorrow.

Thank you for your support and all you do for our democracy.

Sincerely,

Patrick Leahy
U.S. Senator
