We've come such a long way since launching this campaign one year ago. I want to share some highlights and show you how far we've come, but first, I have to ask: [My team and I need to raise $300,000 by MIDNIGHT to keep this campaign running strong to finally defeat Ted Cruz, so I'm personally asking: Will you chip in a split donation between my campaign and Democracy Defense Action to help us meet my campaign anniversary goal?]( I've always known that Ted Cruz is wrong for Texas â but until Jan. 6, I never could have imagined myself running against him. After that day, I knew without a doubt that Texans needed a Senator they can be proud of. So, after much consideration and talking it over with my wife, Aly, I announced my candidacy on May 3, 2023. From the start, I knew I would be the underdog. But just two weeks after launching this campaign, Roll Call upgraded our race from "Solid Republican" to "Battleground!" With supporters like you fired up to beat Ted Cruz, this team helped power our movement with hundreds of thousands of grassroots donations. That grassroots support enabled me to travel across Texas to meet voters and listen to the issues that impact the lives of Texas families. And it gets even better: Since we first launched our campaign, we've made huge gains in the polls. I am now TIED with Ted Cruz at 41%! I never imagined we'd be this close at this stage in the race. In my first race back in 2018, folks didn't give me a chance â even up to Election Day. But luckily, I'm used to hard fights. I put in the work to beat the odds and defeat an 22-year incumbent. We're already better off today than we were then. But Ted Cruz and his extremist mega donors are looking at the same polls we are, and they're not going down without a fight. They're already doing everything they can to crush our momentum â which has amounted to Ted Cruz raising over $51 MILLION. That's why in order to fight back, we need to meet every single fundraising goal we set, including tonight's $300,000 goal. [This team's support has gotten me through the first year of this campaign, and I'm counting on you to power us through the last few months to Election Day. Will you chip in a split donation of $10, $20, or anything you can spare to help me and Democracy Defense Action fire Ted Cruz this November and be the leader Texans need in the Senate?]( I can't thank you enough for your support. It truly means the world. Let's win this thing! â Colin Paid for by Democracy Defense Action. DemocracyDefenseAction.com. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.
