Talarico for Texas

John —

I’m reaching out to ask you to make a contribution today, but before I ask, I think you deserve an explanation for why your support — especially today — is so important.

We’re facing a significant budget gap right now that we need your help to fill. Taking back Texas requires taking big risks — not playing it safe or relying on the failed playbooks of the past.

We have to give it our all. That’s what I promised when I launched this campaign five months ago.

So when I sat down with my team and looked at our internal data, I decided we had to go for broke. We needed to spend more money on our advertising and organizing efforts now to put us in a much stronger position to win on March 3 and in November.

So now we need to raise the money to close our budget gap before January 31. If we don’t fill this hole before our deadline tomorrow, we’ll be forced to cut back our spending right before early voting starts.

Please, if you can, make a contribution today to help us close the gap and keep up our momentum. It’s critical that we have as many donations as possible before our January 31 budget deadline.

DC consultants would tell a candidate not to take this risk. “If you falter and have to cut back, it’ll end your campaign.”

But how many losing campaigns have we seen wait until the last minute to run a real campaign only to come up short on Election Day? You can’t build a movement overnight. We need to reach people now who can bring their friends and neighbors into our movement before Election Day.

I don’t follow the DC playbook or do things like a typical politician. I think Democrats in Washington could afford to learn a few things from Texas Democrats. We know how to fight — like when we broke quorum this summer and set off a chain reaction of Democratic states fighting back against Republicans’ gerrymandering power grabs.

If we’re going to win and shift power back to the people, it will require taking risks.

I believe in our movement. We’re up against enormous amounts of corporate and dark money spending in this race. But together, we can do more than any of the doubters or naysayers in Washington thought possible.

Will you please make a contribution to make sure our movement has the resources to win? Tomorrow is our deadline to fill our budget gap, and I’m counting on lots and lots of people to pitch in what they can.
