 | | | | Jason, I want to tell you an underdog story. | | In 2018, I had never run for office before. I jumped into a race for Congress in a gerrymandered district that had been held by a Republican for 22 years. The press and the pundits all said the same thing: We didn't stand a chance. | | But we hit the ground running. We built a grassroots movement that brought together Texans from all walks of life – people from different neighborhoods, different backgrounds, and even different political parties. We met voters where they were and talked about the issues that mattered. | | And you know what happened? We won that race by 7 points! |  | | I'm telling you this story because the Senate race I am in right now feels a lot like 2018.
The cards feel stacked against us. My Republican opponents have millions in the bank. And once again, folks are saying that winning in Texas is too hard – that we shouldn't even try. | | But there are also some major differences. Last year, we built a historic grassroots movement against Ted Cruz that outperformed the presidential ticket by nearly 200,000 votes, and three polls already show that I can win this race – the earliest polling showing a Democrat winning in a Texas Senate race in decades. | | But if we're going to win this race, it's going to be because of grassroots supporters like you – just like in 2018. Your donation of $5, $25, or whatever you can give today will directly help build the movement we need to win and flip Texas blue. So what do you say, Jason? Will you be a part of the underdog team that helped make Texas history by chipping in right now? | | Please use the links in this email to start a monthly donation through ActBlue. | | This campaign isn't about defying the odds just for the sake of it. It's about giving every family in Texas – every kid growing up like I did – a fair shot and a better future. | | We've done it before. And with your help, we'll do it again.
Let's get to work.
– Colin | | | | | | |
