John —

You probably know what I am about to ask. I know I’ve asked a number of times, so before I ask for your financial support today, I think you deserve an explanation.

Before I was a candidate for U.S. Senate, like you, I read a lot of emails from candidates about how important these FEC deadlines were. Well, I can say first-hand the stakes and pressure you feel as a candidate are very real.

These deadlines are important as a matter of transparency. When we report our numbers to the Federal Election Commission, the public will see exactly who is funding our campaign — and our opponents.

I’m proud to show the world that this is a true grassroots campaign. We’re funded by the people. We’re the only campaign in this race that has never taken a dime of corporate PAC money.

But that makes our task that much harder. They can call one corporate PAC to give them $10,000. With our average donation around $30, it takes over 300 people giving to match that. That's why asks like this one are so important:

Please, if you can, make a contribution today. It’s critical that we have as many donations as possible before tonight’s FEC deadline. Each one is a powerful show of force for our movement.

The numbers we report are also analyzed by the media and our opponents. They’ll be judging if our movement has what it takes to beat the billionaire mega-donors and their puppet politicians.

In this new and more expensive race we face, a weak report means political pundits and the corporate media will write us off before Texans even get a chance to make their voice heard.

We can’t let that happen.

We set a goal for our fundraising that will ensure that does not happen — one that can show we have sustained our momentum and only grown stronger. But truthfully, we still have some ground to make up to get there.

I’m hoping you can help us send a message loud and clear that the people have our back. We won’t be bullied by the attack ads they’ve already run against me or their billionaire mega-donors.

That’s why I’m humbly asking you to please contribute $5 or whatever you can to our campaign today. I cannot do this alone.

If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly.
