Hi gang,
I've taken on a lot of fights in my life, even before I decided to run against Mitch McConnell's right-hand man, Sen. John Cornyn. Maggie said I could reach out to tell y'all about them, and why they matter to this Texas Senate race. 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: [link removed] .)
I dreamed of being a pilot ever since watching Star Wars as a little girl. Despite naysayers claiming the front line was "no place for a woman," I became a commissioned officer in the Air Force and went on to serve three tours in Afghanistan.
During a rescue mission, my helicopter was shot down by the Taliban, and I was injured by enemy gunfire. 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, women weren't allowed to compete for elite military jobs because of the Ground Combat Exclusion Policy. So, I took the fight to DC and advocated (to members of both parties) to overturn the policy and open up hundreds of thousands of jobs for women in the military.
That's when 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. That's why I decided to take on my latest fight -- running for the U.S. Senate.
I'm asking for your help: Will you pitch in to my campaign so I can keep up the fight?

The gridlock and obstruction plaguing Washington is not good enough for the American people. As Mitch McConnell's reliable henchman in Washington, Sen. Cornyn is key to that dysfunction.
It's time to break the bottleneck blocking any constructive progress in Washington from coming to reality. That's why I'm fighting -- and why I'm asking you to fight with me.
Thanks,
MJ
