What started as a little conversation in my kitchen with my husband Matt grew to something so much bigger, something that y'all grew. And I'm so grateful for that.

Team, well, here we are — just hours away from our final quarterly FEC deadline before Election Day. In a few moments, I'm going to ask if you can chip in ahead of this deadline before midnight. But before I do, I wanted to reflect on how important this moment is to me.

Three years ago, it felt like everyone said we couldn’t flip TX-25. I heard a lot of things like this:

"You don't have insider connections."
"You don't have big money."
"You don't even have political experience."
"You're not taking PAC money? You're crazy."

What started as a little conversation in my kitchen with my husband Matt grew to something so much bigger, something that y'all grew. And I'm so grateful for that because we are on the precipice of positive change. 

I believe in us. I have faith. And that faith in us has grown with each passing day — with every phone call you make, each social media post you share, and all of the literature you’ve helped us drop (safely) at every door across the district. 

Together, we've moved this race to within the margin of error by running on our values — for a government that works for everyone, not just corporations. And it's all because of y'all.

We don't know what Roger Williams and Washington Republicans will throw at us in this final 34 days of the campaign. They're already calling me a socialist, which is no surprise — they're pulling from the same bag of divisive and racist tricks as Donald Trump.

But I believe in my heart and I have seen the evidence — Texans in our district, regardless of party, are sick of the pettiness, and smallness, and division. They want real change, real solutions, and a member of Congress who won't use their tax dollars to enrich their personal business during an unprecedented economic crisis. 

And with this movement on our side, I know we're capable of shocking the world if we fight just as hard as we've been fighting since I threw my hat into the ring.

So if you've been waiting for the right moment to get involved in this race, that time is now. Before midnight tonight, can you chip in toward our $750,000 end-of-quarter goal — the last quarterly FEC deadline of this election?

Chip in Now

So honored to have you on my side, truly,

Julie
