Winning in Texas will all but guarantee Democrats are able to defend our razor-thin Senate Majority – and CNN is already calling Ted Cruz one of the most vulnerable Senators in the country! That’s why I need you with me from day one: Please, will you split $5 or whatever you can spare between my campaign and Let America Vote to help reach my ambitious Launch Week goal of $2,500,000??

My mom was a public school teacher and sometimes worked two jobs to make ends meet. Thanks to my family and a strong support system of teachers, coaches, and the good folks at the YMCA, I earned a full ride football scholarship to Baylor University and then went on to play in the NFL. But playing football was never my only dream – from a young age I knew I wanted to help people. So I became a civil rights attorney to defend what I believe is our most fundamental right: the right to vote. I proudly served in President Obama’s administration before I came home to Dallas, where I’m now raising my family. I ran for Congress because I wanted more kids in North Texas to have the opportunity to achieve their version of the American dream and protect the fundamental values of our democracy – and I beat the odds to defeat an 11-term Republican incumbent, helping Democrats flip the House Blue in 2018. Now, I’m ready for my next challenge: taking on Ted Cruz. I know it won’t be easy, but I also know that Texans deserve so much better than Ted Cruz’s cynical partisan politics. Everything Ted Cruz does is for Ted Cruz – when I’m in the Senate, everything I do will be to help people like you. But I can’t get there alone: [That’s why I’m asking you to chip in right now to become a founding donor of my campaign.
