Hi Friend,
Did you see last week’s email from Senator Bernie Sanders? His endorsement of my campaign and his trip to TX-15 this weekend means the world to me. His dedication to delivering for working families inspires my fight to bring true representation to my community in South Texas.
The margin in this race is razor-thin. I need your support to mobilize my community and take my message directly to voters. In partnership with the Texas Democratic Party, I'm assembling a boots-on-the-ground effort for the final stretch of this election.

South Texas deserves a leader who knows them, cares about them, and understands their struggles -- a leader who is one of them. Not someone who will use us as a political prop when it’s convenient, then forget about us to focus on tired culture wars. I want to be that leader for my community.
But I can’t do it without you.
Vamos por quince,
Michelle Vallejo
Democratic Nominee for Texas’ 15th Congressional District

Subject: I’m headed to South Texas with Michelle Vallejo
Friends -
Now more than ever before, at this pivotal moment in American history, we need strong, progressive leadership in Congress, and to elect candidates who have the guts to take on the billionaires and fight to address the needs of the working class.
That is why, together, we must elect Michelle Vallejo to represent Texas' 15th district in Congress.
Right now, with just 12 days to go until Election Day, Michelle urgently needs our support to mobilize her community and take her message directly to the voters of South Texas.
That's why I'm asking:
Michelle's message is clear: the people of South Texas deserve better.
For far too long working families across this country have been taken advantage of, and are struggling to put food on the table or keep a roof over their heads while the ultra-wealthy and large corporations have never had it better.
At a time when we pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs, and our dysfunctional health care system allows 90 million Americans to go uninsured or under-insured, Michelle is ready to fight for Medicare for All, and take on Big Pharma and the giant health insurance companies.
At a time when the existential threat of climate change continues to impact communities and critical infrastructure across South Texas, and the fossil fuel corporations are reporting record-breaking profits, Michelle is ready to fight for environmental justice, a climate-safe future, and major investments in clean and renewable energy.
And at a time of massive income and wealth inequality, where 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and millions work for starvation wages, Michelle is ready to take on corporate greed, fight for a $15 minimum wage, and bring good-paying union jobs to South Texas.
There's only one candidate in this race who's fighting to dismantle the corrupt political and economic systems that are rigged to benefit the wealthy at the expense of working people. That candidate is Michelle Vallejo.
But as we speak, Republican super PACs and right-wing special interest groups are pouring dark money into this race and flooding the airwaves with negative attack ads. And since Michelle isn't taking a dime of corporate PAC money, she's counting on strong grassroots support to fight back and fund a winning campaign.
So I'm asking, once again:

Your support today will bring us one step closer to electing a champion for the working people of South Texas, and creating a government that works for all of us, not just the 1%.
Thank you for contributing, and for helping our movement elect the most progressive Congress this country has ever seen.
In solidarity,
Bernie Sanders
