With just hours left to make up the gap after missing yesterday's mid-month goal, we're 98% of the way there! I'm asking for your help now to get us across the finish line. Here's why this is so urgent: Polls show this race is neck and neck, which means we're closer than ever to defeating Ted Cruz. But he has wealthy mega donors funneling millions of dollars into his campaign war chest. Your grassroots support in these critical moments is the only way I can pull ahead. So please, this is the last time I'll ask: Will you chip in $5 or more right now to help us close the gap on this critical goal so we can fire Ted Cruz and bring real leadership to Texas?
