Hi John. The countdown is on in
Houston:

Christian Menefee’s runoff is officially scheduled for January 31st — a
narrow window to finish what we started and elect a young progressive who
will champion his community and fight corporate power in Washington.

But the timing couldn’t be tougher: our end-of-month deadline hits
TOMORROW at midnight, and holiday giving dropped off right when we needed
to surge. We’re inches away from winning Christian’s runoff, electing
Akbar Ali in Georgia, and ramping up for 2026 — we cannot afford to lose
momentum now.

Deserve right now so we can hit our deadline and win this runoff?

Christian has never backed down. As Harris County Attorney, he’s taken on
major corporations and President Trump for targeting his community — and
he’s beaten them again and again. Now he’s ready to take that fight to
Congress for universal healthcare, affordability, and everyday families.

But he can’t do it alone. Your support is essential in keeping our team
locked in helping Christian organize for January 31st. Your support sent
David and our organizers to Houston to knock on doors before the primary
and pushed Christian to first place in a 16-way field.

But runoff elections are won on turnout and momentum — and this one is too
close for comfort. His runoff opponent finished right behind him in the
primary and is nearly matching his fundraising. Even a brief slowdown in
fundraising could mean the difference in winning a tight race and put
everything we’ve built at risk.

Still not convinced your support matters? Look no further than Houston,
just last year. Because of grassroots supporters like you, Leaders We
Deserve went all out to help elect ER nurse Molly Cook to the Texas Senate
— and she won by just 74 votes. Plus, that victory strengthened the very
organizing infrastructure that helped lift Christian into this runoff, and
his win could fuel the next young Texas progressive, and the next.

Because this is about so much more than one race — this is how we build
long-term, youth-led progressive power with a track record of taking on
Trump and winning. And it’s why it’s so crucial we hit this fundraising
deadline by midnight tomorrow, keep our momentum alive, and win this
runoff — and time is running out to do it.

you split a contribution today to help Christian Menefee win and invest in
a new generation of young progressive leaders?

Thank you for helping us win this runoff, send Christian to Congress, and
build long-term generational power.

P.S. When David was on the ground in Houston before Christian’s primary,
he met Christian’s young son at a canvass launch. His son introduced
himself to the volunteers just like his dad: “I’m Christian Menefee, and
I’m running for Congress.” It was adorable — but also a reminder of what
we’re fighting for, John.
