This is what it takes

I don’t need to re-hash for you just how important it is for our team to reach our $12,000 FEC fundraising goal. I know we've reached out a few times, and I’m sure ours isn’t the only campaign flooding your inbox. Good afternoon, John, I don’t need to re-hash for you just how im…

This is a big deal...

As you’ve probably heard, at the end of this month, we need to report all of our campaign finance information to the FEC. That report is made public for all to see, including our opponent and special interests who want to flip the House to Republican control. John, As you’ve pro…

I voted for bipartisan gun safety legislation that was signed into law

News from Representative Allred Dear Friend, Last week, after more than three decades of inaction, both parties finally came together to answer the nation’s calls for action on gun safety. I proudly helped pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which was signed into law …

A little goes a long way

$12. That’s how much we’re asking you to chip in to Colin’s campaign today. It’s easy to think that $12 can’t make a difference in politics but for a grassroots team like ours that doesn’t accept a single dime from corporate PACs, $12 can go a long way. It helps us hire more staff, run ads, and ta…

do you have a sec?

We kicked off our end-of-quarter fundraising a little bit earlier than normal this month because we’ve set our biggest goal yet: raising $12,000 by the end of June! Hey John, We kicked off our end-of-quarter fundraising a little bit earlier than normal this month because we’ve s…

Circling back

It’s really important that you see this, John. Colin took a few minutes earlier this week to let you know about the importance of online grassroots support for our team, as well as a massive new goal that he’s laid out for our fundraising team to hit by the end of the month. We need to bring in $1…

The Supreme Court’s decision is radical and dangerous

News from Representative Allred Dear Friend, Today is a dark day for our nation. The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping away a long-standing constitutional right and endangering the lives of women in Texas and across the country.  Today's ruling is a radical, …

The worst has happened

Like so many Americans, I am furious and heartbroken by the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Roe v. Wade. We are now living in a country where young girls will grow up with fewer rights than their mothers, and even in some cases, grandmothers. I refuse to accept that there is nothing that c…

Re: Can I have a moment?

Hate has no place here

Recently we’ve seen unspeakable violence, motivated by hatred, sweep our nation; whether it is the vile attacks on Asian Americans provoked by the pandemic, last month’s attack in Buffalo or the 2019 El Paso attack. We have shamed and rejected these voices before, we must do so again. …
