I'm not going to lie — we're stretched to the limit.

Good morning! I was up early this morning on my morning run and thought I should email you. I’m not going to lie — our campaign is stretched to the limit right now, and it looks like we might come up short on this next fundraising goal. I’d feel a lot better if you could help us b…

I'm asking.

We plan on making history in TX-23 on Election Day. From our Boots on the Ground Tour to our widespread canvassing operation, phone banking teams, texting volunteers and more — we are working to unseat Tony Gonzales and give the people of TX-23 a representative they can count on. We…

The election is not over, and this is going to be our toughest month yet.

It’s John here. Last month, I was thrilled to see so many of our supporters step up and help my campaign. But I won’t sugarcoat it: The election is not over, and October will be the toughest month yet. In fact, it will be the most expensive month for our campaign. So before I go …

Brewster and Presidio Counties

Hi there — Our Boots on the Ground Tour is still happening — and we just stopped in Brewster and Presidio Counties. Our Boots on the Ground Tour is just one reason why you get so many emails from me and my team asking for your help to fund this campaign. Getting out in TX-23 and mee…

I’m a Marine who is running against the NRA-backed Republican that currently “represents” Uvalde in Congress.

Hello — I’m a Marine who is running against the NRA-backed Republican that currently “represents” Uvalde in Congress. On November 8th, I want to send Tony Gonzales packing. So today, I need all of my supporters to stand with me and show him that we plan on beating him on Election D…

Trending Down

I’m not excited to tell you this, but my team just sent over fundraising stats for the month. Our online fundraising numbers have taken a serious downturn compared to September. Take a look: 1. Our total raised for October is less than this point last month. 2. We’ve received 167 f…
