Standing up for the people of Pennsylvania

We need to make sure voters across the Commonwealth have their voices heard.   John, my priority has always been standing up for the people of Pennsylvania. Across our Commonwealth, close to 7 million people cast their votes in a free and fair election. Our county election officials will …

Too close to call

We knew this race would be close, and it’s still currently too close to call. This is a true testament to all the work this team has done to close the margin on this race.   John – It’s Derek Tran. I’m a veteran, consumer rights advocate, and small business owner, and I’m still in the fi…

We’re still in this

While we continue to monitor the returns, we must ensure that every lawful vote is counted and the will of AZ-06 voters is carried out, no matter how long it takes.   Hi John, Our race for Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District is still undecided. The stakes feel higher than ever, but we…

Nevada’s Senate race is not over

This race, and its stakes, are higher than ever.   Here's where things stand, friend: Nevada’s Senate race is not over – which means our work isn’t done yet. And we’re expecting my race to come down to a handful of votes. We cannot afford to lose a single additional Senate seat. If Repub…

We're headed to a recount…

We won't stop until every vote is counted.   John, I know many of us are still processing the results of Tuesday's election and what it means for our district and our nation. Donald Trump's victory presents challenges we must now confront together, and we'll need a strong presence in the…

thank you thank you thank you

Through every ambitious goal, every late-night ask, and every endorsement ask, supporters like you had my back when I needed it most. To our 750,000+ Team Allred donors, I'm so very grateful.   John, I'm emailing you today to say thank you. Here's why: Over a year ago, I launched my c…

Please don't ignore this – next time will be too late

I launched this campaign to finally retire Ted Cruz because I know we are ready for change, and I've spent every day since then giving my all to this campaign because I know we can do a lot better than Ted.   John, this is a longer email than I usually send, but I hope you'll stay with me…

Cruz won his last race by just 2.6%; now, not one, not two, but six polls show us statistically tied, and CNN says he's the most vulnerable GOP Senator in America.   Hi, John. It’s Colin Allred, and I’m personally asking you to chip in a split donation of $5 or more to help reach my $5…

a wrench in our plans

But here’s the reality: Mitch McConnell’s allies are spending nearly $90 million to defeat me, and my ultra-wealthy opponent, Tim Sheehy, has already put $2.5 million into his own campaign.   John, this really threw a wrench in our plans… My campaign manager just called me, and she sa…

here's why your $5 matters more than ever

  I'm sure you get a lot of these requests, friend, but this is very real and very urgent: Is there anything I can say to convince you to chip in $5 before my midnight deadline? What if I told you recent polling shows we're losing ground and currently 2 points behind my Trump-backed oppo…

will you help me get my final ad on the air?

Ohioans are already voting, and Election Day is next week – so the sooner we can launch this final ad, the more voters we'll be able to reach before they submit their ballots. We're getting drowned out on the airwaves – Republicans have outspent us 3-to-1, so this final ad will punch back at their…

  Sorry to message so late, John. I promise to keep this super quick. We're one point down in the polls, and we need to launch our final TV ads ASAP to pull ahead and win. Will you chip in $10 to split between my campaign and Fight for Progress before midnight to make it happen? Here's …

  John, I've taken some big hits before – and I've got a plate and two screws in my neck from my time in the NFL to prove it. But falling short of my daily fundraising goal this close to Election Day, in what is turning out to be the best opportunity to fire Ted Cruz also hurts. Right n…

difficult email to send 5 days out

Telling it like it is

Ted Cruz's extremist donors and special interests are scared because they know we can win this thing with a just-released poll showing us ahead in this race. They're throwing everything they've got behind him. I'm counting on you to ensure I can compete with Cruz's mega   John, we face …

Simple math

Now, Cruz and I are deadlocked in the polls, so here it is: If we can reach more newly registered voters than he can in these last few days, we'll be in the best position to win.   Defeating Ted Cruz is going to come down to some simple math, John. – Let me remind you: In 2018, Ted Cr…

Flat tire

Generous donors are matching gifts until midnight. Will you chip in to help me defend Montana values?

But I’m up against nearly $90 million in spending from Mitch McConnell’s buddies. We’re being pummeled by their attacks—and if we don’t act now, that spending could be enough to tip the race into Tim Sheehy’s favor.   Hey, John! I wish I didn’t have to email you, but this is urgent: Mo…
