Colin Allred is currently in a dead heat with Ted Cruz, and Colin needs our help to win. Why? Because this race isn't just about Texas. It's about maintaining our Senate majority. It's about delivering for working families across the country. And it's about protecting our rights and freedoms for generations to come. [That's why I'm reaching out to ask: Will you chip in $5, $25, or whatever you can spare to help Colin win in Texas?

Cory Booker Date: Thu, Aug 22, 2024 Subject: really quickly asking for a favor [Photo of Sen. Cory Booker]( Friend, Cory Booker here. I'm reaching out because my friend, Colin Allred, needs our help to defeat Ted Cruz. Why is a guy from New Jersey talking about Texas? Three reasons: 1. Ted Cruz would undermine our democracy – he's already said he would refuse to accept the legitimacy of the 2024 election results if he doesn't like them. 2. Our Democratic Senate majority is on the line this year, and winning in Texas would nearly guarantee we maintain our slim majority. 3. We can win this race – Cruz is as vulnerable as he's ever been; he barely won his election in 2018, and multiple polls show Colin TIED with him! [That's why, before I say one more word about what's at stake, I'm going to ask you to chip in just $5 to help Colin win in Texas so he can join me in the Senate and give Texans a Senator they can finally be proud of.]( Please use the links in this email to start a weekly donation through ActBlue. [DONATE $5 →]( [DONATE $25 →]( [DONATE $50 →]( [OTHER AMOUNT →]( Republicans in the Senate are working every day to cut Medicare and Social Security and take away reproductive freedoms in every corner of America. With our current slim majority in the Senate, my Democratic colleagues and I have been able to hold back the worst of the GOP's extreme agenda, but there's no doubt in my mind that if they win back the majority, they will go even further in rolling back our rights and cutting crucial assistance to American families. I also know this, friend: We have a chance to prevent all of these awful scenarios from happening – if we help Colin Allred win in Texas. I've seen how hard Colin has worked since being elected to Congress in 2018. He's made a name for himself as the kind of guy who will keep showing up every day to work for a better future for the communities he represents. That's why I'm doing everything in my power to help elect Colin and finally defeat Ted Cruz at the ballot box, but I need you going all in with me, friend. [So please, will you chip in $5 or more to Colin's campaign now so we can win in Texas, hold on to our razor-thin Democratic Senate majority, and keep working for progress for all Americans?]( [DONATE →]( With love and gratitude, Cory [Text 'COLIN' to 90678 to join our campaign]( Democrat Colin Allred is running against Ted Cruz to deliver real leadership to Texans. But this campaign is going to need a historic grassroots movement to win. Inside Elections upgraded our race from “Solid Republican” to “Battleground” the day Colin announced his campaign, and experts at CBS are predicting this could be the most expensive senate race in 2024! That’s why we need all hands on deck every step of the way to win in Texas, defeat Ted Cruz, and defend the Senate majority → [DONATE →]( [Twitter logo]( [Instagram logo]( [Facebook logo]( Emails are the best way for us to keep in touch with our supporters and deliver important campaign updates – they’re critical to helping Colin defeat Ted Cruz.
