Hey there!
Below is a note from my friend Shawn Lassiter, who is running in the only flippable special election in the country this year -- TX-06.
Shawn is a teacher, an advocate for her community, and a steadfast leader in the fight for justice and equity. She’s about to ask for your help to flip her Texas district from red to blue.
This race is an important opportunity to send a message to the Texas GOP. I hope you'll stand with her in this crucial special election. Read on below, then donate $3 if you can >> [link removed]
Thank you!
Candace

Friend --
As families already struggling to stay on their feet amidst a pandemic, the historic winter storm we just experienced brought even more uncertainty. And just like the pandemic, the effects of this storm were preventable.
If our leaders were focused on investing in infrastructure, expanding access to health care, and ensuring that working families weren’t one disaster away from making dire financial decisions -- we would’ve been prepared.
But Texas Republicans like Ted Cruz did nothing to prepare. They did nothing to help.
And they’re already openly joking at GOP events about vacationing in Cancun instead, friend:
Texas families deserve fair, honest, and hardworking leaders fighting for them in Congress.
I just launched my campaign to flip this Battleground TX-06 BLUE. Can I count on you to join our grassroots team and chip in $3 today?

This special election will be held on May 1st, so we’ve got no time to lose FIRSTNAME.
I'm running a campaign that’s fueled by online grassroots donations from a strong coalition of teachers, working families, climate activists, and community members who simply just want someone fighting for strong, quality healthcare, increasing the minimum wage, and getting this pandemic under control.
But because this is guaranteed to be a close race in this battleground district -- we’re CERTAIN that national Republicans will use millions in outside spending to push their Trump-backed candidate to victory.
That’s why I’m reaching out to you today. I just launched my campaign to flip Texas’ 6th Congressional District and bring real representation for working families to Congress -- but it’s going to take a WAVE of grassroots support to make it happen.
So what do you say, friend? Can I count on you to chip in?
Let’s keep up the good fight,
Shawn Lassiter
