Impulsive decisions are out of character for me

    John – Impulsive, emotional decisions are out of character for me. I am the guy who had a four-year plan to get into Harvard even though my family was dirt poor. So I thought long and hard about the decision to run for the United States Senate. I prepared for it long before …

did you see what Ted Cruz said about this race?

BREAKING: Texas Senate Update     BREAKING: Ted Cruz worried 2024 race will be a "firefight" Maybe it's his relentless attacks on our fundamental rights. Or his loyalty to Trump, even as he spewed lies, pushed conspiracy theories and cheered on the mob on Jan. 6. Or the fact that h…

the fight of Ted Cruz’s life

    John: This race is bigger than defeating Ted Cruz. Our Democratic Senate majority and the White House are on the line in 2024. The future of our democracy and so many of our fundamental rights, from voting to reproductive freedom, depend on Democrats winning. Unfortunately, the…

Bad news for Republicans:

    Hey John, In a moment, I’m going to ask you to split a small donation between Seth Moulton and our campaign ahead of our midnight deadline. But first, I wanted to explain why your gift is so important — especially right now. From the moment I jumped into the race, Republicans …

Inside Elections just downgraded Ted Cruz's chances

    John, a lot of folks told me not to run against Ted Cruz. They said a Democrat can't win a statewide election in Texas and that I should stick with my "safe" seat in the House after winning with 66% of the vote last year. But I'm not one to play it safe when our rights and val…

Will you help me defend democracy?

  John — On January 6, 2021, the very existence of our democracy was threatened and, for the first time in American history, the peaceful transition of power was interrupted. The insurrectionists have not been defeated. The attempted coup on that day may have failed, but its ar…

Growing up poor, this country took a chance on me. Now I am asking for you to take a chance on this campaign.

    John – The things I want in life are not exotic. I think most people feel the same way. I want loving relationships with my family. I want to help my constituents, and I want an America that lives up to its ideals. Growing up poor, this country took a chance on me. I took a…

Trump attacked me

    John – Donald Trump attacked me on Truth Social, calling me "one of the worst in the Senate!" It's never been more clear: The GOP is doing everything it can to replace me with a Trump yes-man and flip the Senate red. To be clear, I'm not scared of their attacks. But I do know …

reaching out before our first public deadline

    Hi, John, it's Colin, and I had to reach out one more time before our end-of-quarter deadline – the first major public fundraising goal of this campaign – because unfortunately, we're still short of our $750,000 goal. Our ability to defeat Ted Cruz depends on reaching critical…

re: censure vote

“summer slump”

    Hey John—Jon here. I’ve got to be honest with you, I’m disappointed. My team just let me know that we didn’t reach our fundraising goal. With the public FEC deadline right around the corner, this is bad news. I didn’t expect the “summer fundraising slump” to start this early.…

re: beans
