John -

Something incredible happened today: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed my campaign.

When AOC won her race, she did it by taking on the full force of the establishment and corporate cash. She built a progressive, grassroots movement that made history and did what political insiders said was impossible.

Her victory sent a shockwave across our country and proved that it’s possible to beat a political machine with a grassroots movement. Now she’s backing our campaign because she knows we cannot change Washington if we do not change the people inside the halls of Congress.

Will you make a $3 donation right now to support our campaign to elect a real Democrat in South Texas? We saw in her race last year that corporate interests will stop at nothing to prevent progress. The only way we can defeat them is if we build a people-powered movement.

Alexandria has shown us over the past year that now is not the time to be cautious. We must rise to meet this moment with courage and boldness. There is too much at stake to do anything less.

The Bronx and South Texas are worlds apart, but both need leaders who will stand up to big corporate interests to fight for a living wage and affordable health care for every American. We’ll work together in Congress to improve the lives of working people across this country.

But first we have to win this race, and that starts with what we do today.

Rush a $3 donation to our campaign today to help us make history and continue building power for the progressive movement. Together, we are going to win.

Last year, AOC became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. And she did it by running a bold, progressive campaign and speaking directly to voters. If you’re with us in this race, then we’ll be next.

Thank you for standing with me in this fight.
