The grassroots response to my campaign launch has been incredible, and every single penny we’ve raised puts us one step closer to defeating Ted Cruz and flipping Texas blue! Democrats from across the country are donating in droves to launch this campaign and power us to victory. We’re so close to hitting our $150,000 daily goal! [Look, I can’t take down Ted Cruz without you, and we just need $14,984 more before midnight to reach this goal. Can you spare just $15, split between me and MeidasTouch, to power my Democratic campaign?

Allred Date: May 16, 2023 Subject: I’m running to defeat Ted Cruz: [Colin Allred]( Friend, I’m Colin Allred, and I’m running for U.S. Senate to defeat Ted Cruz and deliver better, stronger leadership for the people of Texas. 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: Please, will you split $15 or whatever you can spare between my campaign and MeidasTouch to help reach my daily fundraising goal of $150,000? [Every dollar you can spare will help us build a people-powered movement to defeat Ted Cruz, flip Texas blue and defend our Senate majority.

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: We’re going to need an unprecedented grassroots movement to unseat Ted Cruz and I’m counting on you to be a part of it. Please, split $15 or whatever you can spare between my campaign and MeidasTouch to help win in Texas, defeat Ted Cruz and defend our Democratic Senate majority →]( Thank you so much for helping me launch this campaign. We have a long way to go, but together, I know we’ve got what it takes to win this thing.
