TALARICO FOR TEXAS

Tonight's FEC deadline marks the end of our first full fundraising quarter. It’s the biggest test of our campaign so far and will set the tone for the final sprint of the primary. Please spare one minute of your time to hear us out on this important request. If you have found yourself wishing Democrats would fight harder or demanding new leadership in Washington this year, then you know that our status quo is broken. You know that there are too many puppet politicians selling us out to corporate and billionaire mega-donors. If we want to upend what’s broken and end the corruption, we have to do something new — something unprecedented. Flipping Texas’ U.S. Senate seat with a true people-powered movement can transform Washington. That’s why James Talarico is running. But he needs all of us to have his back to help shift power away from those at the top and back into the hands of working people. Polling makes clear this is possible. James is statistically tied with both of the most likely Republican nominees in the latest general election polling. And he’s in this strong position without taking a dime from corporate PACs. In fact, 98% of donations to fuel this movement have been $100 or less. Bottom line: James is Democrats’ best chance to win this race. Unfortunately, most people reading this will click away without taking action. Only about 3% of people will understand what’s at stake and decide to give. James is hoping that includes you. If you want to take back Texas and send a fighter to the U.S. Senate, please give anything you can spare before tonight's FEC deadline. The amount doesn’t matter. What matters is that enough of us come through for James.
