Hi ,

Did y'all watch our next Vice President, Kamala Harris, last night? Women like her inspire me, women, and girls all around this country to speak truth to power and fight for the future we need.

That's why I'm excited to host our Part 1 Women Winning Texas this Saturday!

This Saturday, we'll host a sneak peek preview of our big event. We are lucky to be joined by Philonise Floyd and Marian Tolan for a conversation on why justice matters. We'll also hear from some of our incredible candidates, elected officials, and movement leaders, including Beto O'Rourke, Shekira Dennis, Cedric Alexander, Angela Rye, Freddie Haynes, Jane Hamilton, Royce Brooks, Silvia Mintz, and Sheila Jackson Lee. Donate as low as a $20 to RSVP to join us:

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the leaders we need right now -- and women are putting in the work to elect them. Women Winning Texas is all about celebrating the women who are turning our state blue. It is so important to uplift that work and the incredible women leading this movement, whether it's our kickass slate of candidates, staff, or the volunteers powering this movement on the ground.

As Kamala said:

Texas is turning blue because of you. This team has more than earned a blowout party and that's exactly what we're going to have. Like we say in politics -- the team that's having the most fun wins!

Thanks for everything you do,

Dr. Carla Brailey Vice-Chair, Texas Democratic Party

P.S. Don't forget to RSVP for Part 2! Put your name on our guest list for the first-ever Women Winning Texas Day Party and the biggest virtual party the state has ever seen. See you on October 17!

Hi , Joe Biden is statistically tied with Trump in Texas. As a supporter of Texas Democrats, you''ve done the most to close the gap. Just look:

We have built the Democratic infrastructure in the BIGGEST battleground state in the country, but between now and November, we have to do more.

If we''re going to turn Texas blue, we have to fight harder than we ever thought possible. We can''t do this without you, , so I have to ask, can you rush your first $7 contribution of 2020 before our end-of-quarter midnight fundraising deadline?

Adelante,

Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair, Texas Democratic Party

Texas is the BIGGEST battleground state. We''re only 903 donations short of reaching our goal. Can you chip in $7 to our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline?

Yes, I''ll chip in $7

Hi ,

As Texas'' Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, I stand on the shoulders of giants. My campaign couldn''t be where it is today -- neck-and-neck with John Cornyn, an 18-year incumbent of the U.S. Senate -- without courageous Texas Democrats like Barbara Jordan and Ann Richards and so many others who courageously paved the way.

But, most of all, I''m grateful for YOU and all my friends at the Texas Democratic Party. Texas is only a battleground state because you''ve treated it like one. You''ve done the incredibly hard work of laying the foundation for candidates like me to win and help flip Texas blue. I just know it: 2020 is our year.

In the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Texas Democratic Party has built a new path to victory, and they''re going to run the largest coordinated campaign in our state''s history to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. We need all hands on deck if we''re going to pull this off. So what do you say -- are you in?

Can you rush your first $7 contribution of 2020 to help my friends at the Texas Democratic Party reach their end-of-month fundraising deadline and run the largest coordinated campaign in Texas history.

Texas Democrats are working overtime to elect Joe Biden; send John Cornyn packing; expand our Texas congressional delegation; shatter the supermajority in the Texas Senate; flip the Texas House; and elect hundreds of local Democrats across the state.

Together, through the largest, most ambitious coordinated campaign in Texas history, we''re going to:

• Motivate voters who sometimes miss an election, making sure they get out to vote in the upcoming election
• Persuade Texans who are fed up with Donald Trump to vote for Democrats
• Protect access to the ballot and making it easier to vote

That''s no small feat. If we''re going to get this done, it''s going to take a LOT of hard work -- but I know you''re up for it.

This election isn''t just about sending me to the Senate -- we need to deliver Texas for Joe Biden, defend the Democratic majority in Congress, and elect Democrats up and down the ticket. With so many opportunities at every level, we need to make sure the Texas Democratic Party reaches every fundraising goal they set from now until the election.

Add your first $7 contribution of 2020 right now to help the Texas Democratic Party reach their end-of-month fundraising goal.

Texas is the biggest battleground state in the country. And when we win in November and change the course of history, it''ll be thanks in large part to all of your hard work.

Thanks, y''all. Talk soon.

MJ Hegar
Your next U.S. Senator

Hi ,

Juneteenth is an incredibly important holiday -- some would call it our own version of Fourth of July -- for it celebrates Black''s resiliency and reminds us how far we''ve come and how much further we have to go in our pursuit for liberty, justice and equality. President Lincoln''s Emancipation Proclamation became official on January 1, 1863. However, that news didn''t arrive until June 19, 1865 in Galveston, Texas. It took more than two years for freedom to reach all Americans. That''s almost 900 days of Texas slaves not knowing they no longer had to provide their free labor or adhere to a slave master.

Just because our ancestors were freed legally on that hot June day, it didn''t mean they were equal. And to this day, we''re fighting for liberty, justice and equality for all. That''s why we are still mobilizing and protesting for the very thing our ancestors fought for -- the pursuit of happiness for all Black lives. Because no one is free until all of us are free.

When we say Black Lives Matter, we don''t mean that they only matter now. Our lives have always mattered. From the Civil Rights Movement to the recent days of protesting on the streets for George Floyd and so many others, when our community comes together we pave the way for future generations and all Americans. We do the work now so that our children can enjoy a prosperous and equitable future. We speak loudly so the voice of democracy can be heard in a way that all people have a fair shot at living a quality life.

Though we''re tired, frustrated, and grieving, decade after decade demonstrate we''re a resilient people. That''s ultimately what Juneteenth is all about -- celebrating our talents, achievements, and progress while remembering all the struggles our ancestors had to endure and reminding our great land of thee, in the words of Langston Hughes, "[We], too, sing America" -- just take a closer look at our history.

I''m proud to be a Black woman, mom, daughter, niece, and friend. I stand with my brothers and sisters because we will persevere. We are going to continue to resist discriminatory and racist practices by speaking truth to power, kneeling for injustice, and voting for progressive change! We''ve done it for hundreds of years, and there''s nothing stopping us now, and a hundred more years if necessary.

And as Black Democrats we''ve shown our loyalty, dedication and commitment in supporting the efforts of our Party. We hope to continue celebrating beyond today and after November as the bluest battleground state in the nation!

We must keep pushing America towards democracy to mandate it fulfills its promise of liberty, justice and equality for all Americans.

Together, Texas Democrats, we celebrate and thanks again for everything you do,

Dr. Carla Brailey
Vice Chair, Texas Democratic Party

P.S. Join us and the Texas Young Democrats Black Caucus for our Juneteenth virtual happy hour!

Hi ,

I''ll get right to it: I''m running in what could be the most important environmental race in the country in 2020 -- the race for Texas Railroad Commission -- and I need your help to win.

Split your first $7 donation of 2020 to help flip the most important environmental race in the country and elect Texas Democrats up and down the ballot.

It might surprise you to learn this, but the Texas Railroad Commission has ZERO to do with railroads. This agency actually oversees all oil and gas drilling, one of the largest drivers of the Texas economy.

Right now -- at this very minute -- oil companies are literally lighting energy on fire, wasting our natural resources.

As an engineer who came from a family of engineers, I''ll be blunt: I like it when things make sense. And , that doesn''t make any sense at all.

The Texas Railroad Commissioner''s number one job is to prevent waste and protect our natural resources. And the current Republican commissioners aren''t doing their job. That''s why I''m running.

If I''m elected in November, I''ll actually enforce the laws on the books that protect our air and water.

I can''t win this race alone. Texas Democrats are building a massive coordinated campaign to deliver Texas to Joe Biden, elect MJ Hegar and help Democrats up and down the ticket -- myself included -- flip critical seats from red to blue. If we''re going to win, I need your help.

Can I count on your support? Split your first $7 donation of 2020 between my campaign and the Texas Democratic Party today.

Texas is the biggest battleground state in the country, and if we work together, I know we can flip this seat and protect the environment for all Texans.

Thanks for your support,

Chrysta Castañeda
Democratic nominee for Texas Railroad Commission

Hey ,

Did you ever want to go backstage at Seinfeld and meet the cast and the writers and see what was really going on?

Well, you can''t because the show''s been over for a very long time.

But you can join Jason Alexander, Larry David, myself, and special guests as we talk about the show about nothing, and hang out and shoot the shit all in an effort to turn Texas blue tomorrow.

It''s hosted by Seth Meyers. So that''s something. I love Seth Meyers. I''d tune in for that. Tell you the truth.

We call it our Fundraiser About Something. And when you donate, you''ll get to see and hear us yakking away. You''ll also be chipping in to flip the presidency, the Senate, and to protect Texas from gerrymandering for the next decade. So yeah, that''s something all right.

I love all of these guys. And I can''t believe I had to throw a fundraiser just to hang out with them. Don''t miss it. Chip in any amount and get your spot right now:

Donate whatever you can for this once in a lifetime event. I say once in a lifetime because it''s impossible to get Larry David to do anything. (Except I got him to do this.)

Hey -- real quick:

Today, we are launching our first round of general election digital ads. Yep, that''s right -- voting is right around the corner. So I cannot stress this enough: we need your support NOW.

Look, here''s where we are at: there is a real chance that Texas will send a Democrat to the White House. We''re in such good shape because Texans are fed up with Trump Republicans, and people like you, , have been putting in the work. However, everything is riding on these next six weeks.

We cannot do another four years of Donald Trump. We can''t slow down now, we have to kick into high gear.

The margins are going to be incredibly thin this fall, and we are fighting for every single vote to tip that balance. We''re using digital ads to reach every new voter we can and make sure everyone on our side casts their ballot.

I need your help to make sure these ads reach as many Texans as possible. So, I''m asking: can you rush $7 or whatever you can to our digital ads fund to keep our ads in front of voters?

See you online,

Brittany Switzer
Senior Brand Director, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

It''s not too late to become a Turn Texas Blue contributor.

$7 before midnight is all I''m asking. That''s it. Here is why your donation is so important:

Our state party is funded by grassroots donors. That means they depend on you to run RegisterTexas.com, an online platform to register voters during COVID-19, they depend on you to run their year-round voter assistance hotline 1-844-TX-VOTES, they depend on you to build their online community hub ConnectTexas, and so much more.

I know that they are just getting started. So back to that $7.

Our Texas Democratic Party only needs 2,238 Texans to hit their midnight Turn Texas Blue goal. So if you add $7 and someone else adds $7 and 2,238 people add their contribution -- then we will Turn Texas Blue.

That''s why I have to ask: Can you make a $7 contribution to our Turn Texas Blue Fund? We''re 2,238 contributions away from reaching our midnight goal:

You stood with me before and I hope you will stand with me now.

Thanks,

Wendy Davis
Democratic nominee for Texas District 21

Hi ,

We have 19 days left to win this election. That''s nothing. That''s a blip.

The urgency this year is not on November 3, or the weekend before -- it''s right this second. More than a million Texans have already voted. We are fighting RIGHT NOW to get every last Texas Democrat out to vote.

If we succeed, we win this election. It''s that simple. And the way we make it happen is every single one of us fighting -- like our lives are on the line -- to get Texans to the polls.

We have the plan, but we need your support to execute it. We need to raise $6,472 by MIDNIGHT. Rush $7 to our Get Out The Vote Fund today:

Adelante,

Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair, Texas Democratic Party

P.S. Please, vote early. You can click here to find where and make your plan.

We are fighting for every single vote to flip the White House and turn Texas blue. Texas is the biggest battleground state. Chip in $7 today:

Yes, I''ll chip in $7!

I want to volunteer!

,

Texas has a special place in my heart. It''s where I got my second chance at college -- for only $50 a semester -- at the University of Houston, and it''s where I started studying why the path to economic security has gotten so steep and rocky for working families.

This year, we have a real shot at flipping Texas -- as long as every voter can safely make their voice heard. But Texas Republicans are doubling down on voter suppression, so we need to fight back even harder.

For decades, the state GOP has used discriminatory voter ID laws and gerrymandering to make it harder for Texans to vote. Now, they''re asking Texans to make a heartbreaking choice: risk exposure to the coronavirus to vote, or sit this election out. Nobody should have to make that decision. That''s why I''m reaching out today and asking for your help.

Our friends at the Texas Democratic Party are fighting to make sure as many Texans as possible are able to vote safely -- and they''ve set a huge goal of sending more than 815,000 vote-by-mail applications to Texans across the state. It''s a steep goal, but they can meet it if enough people pitch in to help out. Can you support their efforts today?

Add a $1 contribution right now and the Texas Democratic Party will send 2 Texans their vote-by-mail application.

Something big is happening in Texas: recent polls show Joe Biden and Donald Trump just a few points apart, and Senator John Cornyn''s approval ratings are dropping.

Winning in Texas isn''t just about electing Joe Biden. We have a chance to send MJ Hegar to the U.S. Senate, expand our House majority, and elect leaders up and down the ballot who will fight for big ideas and bold reform -- leaders who will put working people first.

If you agree every person should be able to vote without risking their safety or the safety of their community, I''m asking if you can make a contribution today.

We can flip Texas in 2020. Click here to add a $1 contribution. Your donation will allow the Texas Democratic Party to send 2 Texans a vote-by-mail application.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth Warren

The only way we will take back our country is if we all work together. We need to fund 815,000 vote-by-mail applications by this Friday. Can you rush a $7 contribution to fund our vote-by-mail program?

Yes, I''ll chip in

Hi ,

There''s just 21 days until Georgia''s Senate elections, and our friends in Georgia need our help.

Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are running to be Georgia''s next two Democratic Senators. If we elect them, Democrats will gain control of the Senate. That will give Joe Biden and Kamala Harris a clear path to enact the change we need -- from fighting the coronavirus to expanding healthcare. However, if Republicans stay in power, Mitch McConnell will do everything he can to block our progress.

Georgians chose Joe Biden in the presidential election. We need to make sure Georgia Democrats get out to vote in the same numbers in January.

Want to be part of this historic effort? Here''s how you can help:

If you have friends, family, or other people you know in Georgia, we need your help to get them to the polls. Text folks in your life through a friendbank, sign up for a shift today:

Hi ,

This is it, folks. Election Day is in 36 days. We''ve got one more month to do every last thing in our power to make Donald Trump a one-term president.

The end of September is our last end-of-quarter fundraising deadline before the most critical election of our lifetimes. I know it, and you know it. Every single member of this team is about to put in an absolutely Herculean effort to GET TEXANS OUT TO VOTE. Everything we''ve been building towards -- for years and decades -- comes down to our work between now and November 3: getting Texans to the polls and bringing in the votes to finally end Republicans'' reign of terror against our families.

This campaign runs on trust. There is some dark, dark bullsh*t happening in the United States of America, and nowhere more so than in Texas. Trump Republicans are putting our communities through a hell of a lot, and they''re not slowing down, either.

Right now, Trump Republicans are trying to push through a Supreme Court nominee against the will of the American people. If they succeed, healthcare will be dismantled for millions of Texans while millions more will lose protections for pre-existing conditions in the middle of the deadliest pandemic in United States history.

In the face of that -- to fight against all of it -- we have to trust each other. We are each other''s greatest hope. As long as we have that, we will keep moving forward, and have the energy to work as hard as we have to to flip this state blue.

Texas -- and the whole country -- is counting on us. On this team. So I''m leaning on you today.

Can we get this done? Hell, yeah. Is it up to YOU? You bet.

We''ve got $89,284 to go to meet our last end-of-quarter fundraising deadline and to finally turn Texas blue. Chip in your first $7 of 2020 to power the final 36 days of this election:

Without Texas, Trump can''t win. Never lose sight of what we''re doing together.

Hi ,

When Republicans are celebrating a two-point lead in Texas, you know they''re in trouble. And they know it, too.

Yesterday, Fox News highlighted a new poll saying, "Biden''s lead in Texas vanishes, now trails Trump by 2 points." What''s remarkable about that is it might be the first time in decades Fox News admitted we''re on the verge of taking back Texas.

Even Fox News knows how close this race is. Joe Biden has been neck-and-neck with Donald Trump for months now. Texas is the biggest battleground state. With voting starting soon, we need to make the most of this.

We can pull back ahead and deliver 38 electoral votes to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in November. It''s going to take every single one of us to do it. Chip in your first $7 to the Texas Democratic Party so our movement can hit our mid-month fundraising deadline:

I can''t tell you how much it means to have you with us in the fight.

Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

When we started our vote by mail lawsuit, we promised Texas voters that we''d never stop fighting for their right to vote.

Today, we are continuing our promise by petitioning the United States Supreme Court to provide all Texans their free, fair, and equal right to vote.

There''s no logical reason for those whose 65th birthday is the day after Election Day to have to go to the polling place in person while their 65-year-old spouse can vote a mail ballot -- especially during the worst pandemic in a century.

Let''s make no mistake about why we''re back at the Supreme Court again. Texas Republicans are hell-bent on discriminating against and blocking Texas'' new diverse majority from casting their ballot. We have not -- and never will -- stand by as Republicans discriminate against hard-working Texans trying to cast their ballot.

We are proud to bring this case to the Supreme Court to make voting easier and more equal for all Texans. We need your help. Can you chip in a $7 contribution to our voter protection fund?

Adelante,

Gilberto Hinojosa

Hey -- Did you watch the debate last night?

Here''s one thing I know for damn sure -- we are going to elect Joe Biden in November, and last night, it was clear why. Joe Biden puts American families first. He''s listening to us, and Texans trust him to fight for us -- enough to flip the biggest battleground state.

Joe Biden has what it takes to turn Texas blue. Trump Republicans have sold out and short changed our communities for far too long. Last night, Trump gave his most blatant racist dogwhistle yet -- telling white supremacists across America to "stand by." Enough is enough. Texans are demanding change. We are ready to elect leaders up and down the ballot who will fight for our families instead of kicking us down.

However, Joe can''t do it without us. You have been laying the groundwork to flip Texas for weeks, months, and years. Over the next five weeks, we have to fight even harder. We have to talk to more voters, campaign more aggressively, and pull for Texas more than ever before. Everything comes down to this.

At MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, we''re hitting our final end-of-quarter fundraising deadline before this election. We need to power an all-out, statewide, massive push to bring in every last possible vote. Can you chip in your first $7 donation of 2020 and give Texas Democrats the edge we need to win?

Hi ,

We have a few hours left in our November fundraising -- our second to last end-of-month fundraising push of 2020.

It''s been a long, tough year for all of us. However, through it all, we pulled together to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and push Texas forward. Not every team is as tenacious and resilient as this one.

It''s been a privilege to witness the power of our movement -- YOUR power. I hope you have a sense of how extraordinary this is, and the difference you''ve made this year.

Now, we have a new challenge ahead. We need to take what we''ve built and adapt it to the work of 2021. We need to help the Biden-Harris administration bring change to our communities. And we need to keep advocating for Texas families, and fighting for a fair shot for all.

As we map out our work in the year ahead, we need to make sure we are starting off on the strongest footing possible -- so we can reach more Texans, elect more Democrats, and create the change we need. So before we hit our deadline tonight, can you contribute $7 or whatever you can today?

Thank you. Your support and hard work is changing the face of Texas.

Adelante,

Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

Everything is on the line in this election, and we need to fight right now because our lives depend on it.

It''s on us to do everything in our power to make sure that come November 3, Texas elects Joe Biden as the next president of the United States.

Amy Coney Barrett''s appointment is illegitimate and every single one of us has the right to be furious. Trump Republicans appointed a right-wing extremist judge who runs counter to the will and views of the vast majority of Americans.

They did it smack in the middle of an election where millions and millions of us have already cast our votes. And they did it for the sole purpose of repealing the Affordable Care Act so they can cheat millions of people out of their fundamental right to healthcare.

The only way to counter this is to fight back right now at the ballot box. The Republicans who did this do not represent Texas. In eight days, when the votes are counted, they will know that for a fact.

This just raised the stakes in an election that was already the most important of our lifetimes. Everything -- from healthcare to immigrant rights to reproductive justice to LGBTQ rights -- all of it is on the line. This is your last chance to donate before the election and help us win. Rush $7 to our Get Out The Vote operation before our midnight end-of-month deadline:

That''s what we need to remember as we get right back up and get back in the fight. Every single one of us is fighting on the side of light and we are fighting harder than we ever have before.

We are about to send Joe Biden to the White House on Texas''s 38 electoral votes and send a message across the country and around the world: our communities are not up for grabs.

Our future is not up for grabs. We are the ones who decide what matters and fight every day to protect it. And we are the ones who will win this at the ballot box.

What we''ve built is unstoppable. For the first time in decades, Texas is inches away from going blue. This is ours to win.

Adelante,

Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

Well y''all, it''s been a long, long election season for all of us. Now that the dust has settled a bit, I wanted to check in.

You are the beating heart of this movement. This year, we came closer than ever to flipping Texas, and the credit for that progress rests squarely with you.

You gave your energy. You gave money. You gave your time. You spent hours upon hours making calls, sending texts, getting Texans registered to vote and ready to go to the polls. Sharing the message that this state -- and our future -- is ours to take back.

When the results came in this past week, I thought about you and everything you poured into turning Texas blue. I know many of us are feeling quite the mix of emotions right now -- joy and relief at knowing Joe Biden is our new president, and sadness at still not quite getting Texas over the line.

I want you to know how much it meant to have you standing with us. Because you showed up, we closed the gap in Texas to 5 points. We showed beyond a doubt that we are the biggest battleground state, with the wins to prove it:

• We cast the third most votes for Joe Biden in the country, third to California and Florida.
• We increased our votes at the top of the ticket by 1.33 million, a 34% increase in the number of Democratic voters.
• We grew our Democratic vote by 34.6% compared to 2016, second only to Arizona among battleground states.
• We flipped Tarrant County in a presidential election for only the second time since 1952, joining Lyndon Baines Johnson as only the Democratic nominees to win Tarrant County the past 50 years.
• We flipped Williamson County at the presidential level.
• We re-elected Lizzie Fletcher and Colin Allred -- holding onto two tenuous congressional seats and giving two Democratic superstars another clear mandate to fight for Texas families.
• We won key down ballot races across the state, from sheriffs to school boards.
• We elected Roland Gutierrez to our State Senate, flipping the seat we needed to block Dan Patrick''s runaway right-wing agenda.

As our president-elect says, keep the faith. We moved the dial forward toward the change that must come. Every year, we inch closer to turning Texas blue. If there''s any team with the fire and the grit to get it done, it''s this one.

Thank you for everything you did.

Rejoice, reflect, and then, let''s get back out there.

Thanks -- now let''s get back to work,

Manny Garcia
Executive Director, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

When it comes to voting this November, our seniors and disabled Texans deserve better than what the Republicans are allowing and you and I shouldn''t stand for it!

It doesn''t take a genius to see that Donald Trump, Greg Abbott and the Republicans in charge have royally screwed up their response to the COVID pandemic.

(Hell, it wasn''t that long ago that Lt. Governor Dan Patrick was saying senior citizens should be willing to die from the virus to "save the economy." Yeah...you can''t make this stuff up.)

Now, Republicans are back playing their favorite game: trying their damndest to suppress the vote. But this time, the stakes are literally life and death -- because Donald Trump and the Texas GOP want to make it HARDER for people to vote safely by mail during a global pandemic.

You know what we say to that? HELL no. Our team at the Texas Democratic Party is fighting back by running our largest vote-by-mail program to date. We''ve set a massive goal of sending over 815 thousand vote-by-mail applications to Texans across the state -- it''s a really steep goal, but I know that we can get there if enough people step up and pitch in.

Elections are literally won and lost because of vote-by-mail. That''s why this old man is asking for your help today.

We know that 815,000 vote-by-mail applications is a hell of a goal, and I know we can do it with your help. Can you make a $1 contribution to our Vote-By-Mail Fund so we can send 2 Texans their application? It''s absolutely critical to us winning in 2020.

I know that flooding your inbox is a frickin'' pain, but this is really important. With all eyes on Texas, we need to use every tool in our toolbox to try and run up the score across the state.

Because once Texas goes blue, the Republican path to the White House will be blocked -- and we''ll save the whole damn country.

Let''s fight like hell,

Glen Maxey
Former State Representative

The only way we will take back our country is if we all work together. We need to fund 815,000 vote-by-mail applications by this Friday. Can you rush a $7 contribution to fund our vote-by-mail program?

Yes, I''ll chip in

Hi ,

This administration''s corruption was clear long before Donald Trump even set foot in the Oval Office. But nothing has underscored his inability to lead quite like this administration''s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

People are out of work, hungry, suffering and dying. The United States has more than 4.2 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and more than 150,000 people have died. The situation is dire and is getting worse -- but it didn''t have to be this way. The truth is, one man is responsible: President Donald Trump.

More and more polls show that we have a real shot at ending our national nightmare in November -- to get Trump out of office and elect Joe Biden. We also have a real shot at flipping the biggest battleground state in the country: Texas.

That''s why I''m asking you to join me in supporting the Texas Democratic Party today. If we turn Texas blue, we can guarantee we''ve blocked Donald Trump''s path back to the White House.

Rush your first $7 donation of 2020 right now to help block Trump''s path to the White House and turn Texas blue.

Thanks to the hard work of thousands of grassroots activists, Texas has been trending more and more blue with each election -- and now, Donald Trump and Joe Biden are neck-and-neck in the Lone Star State.

But let me be clear: winning in November isn''t just about electing Joe Biden. We must elect Democrats up and down the ballot who will fight on behalf of working people.

If we flip Texas, we have a real shot at sending MJ Hegar to work alongside me in the Senate; expanding the Texas Democratic delegation in Congress; flipping the Texas House; and electing more Democrats down the ticket. The impact of these victories would be felt for years.

The Texas Democratic Party has a plan to win in November, and I''m proud to support their efforts. Help turn Texas blue by adding your first $7 donation of 2020 today.

This is the most important election of our lifetimes. If we all roll up our sleeves and keep working hard, I know we can win across the country -- including in Texas.

Thank you for keeping up the fight,

Kamala Harris

Hi ,

Trump thinks that he can stop Americans from casting their ballot by defunding the postal service.

Trump thinks he can win this election if fewer people show up to vote. We are 80 days out from the most important election of our lives. Every single vote counts -- including millions of mail ballots.

He isn''t ready for our movement.

We will not let him sabotage this election.

We will stop him by sending 815,000 vote-by-mail applications to Texas voters. We are making sure Texans have their applications in hand early so they can send their mail ballot in early.

We will stop Trump if we can send every single one. Right now, we need to raise $14,662 to our Vote-By-Mail Fund before midnight to be able to send the remaining 29,324 Texans a mail ballot application.

That is why I have to ask -- can you make your first contribution of $1 or whatever you can to close this gap?

We are fighting for every single vote to elect Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats up and down the ballot. When we flip the White House and turn Texas blue, it''ll be because of people like you who fought for justice.

We must protect our democracy.

Adelante,

Hi ,

About one year ago, Texas Democrats released our updated path to victory for the remainder of the 2020 Election cycle, highlighting our innovative organizing strategies, digital advertising investments, and our plans to expose Trump Republicans for their leadership failures at the federal and state level.

We''ve revisited our plans to adapt how we''re campaigning during the COVID pandemic, but the goals and the opportunities are no less big and bold.

Now with less than 100 days until Election Day, we are releasing our revised plan to win with the kind of forward-thinking that has already made Texas the biggest battleground state in the country.

Our investments in digital organizing and ramping our team up to become the largest digital and organizing staff in Texas Democratic Party history will allow us to win up and down the ballot in November.

We have our plan, however, our final sprint is far from over. Together, we will elect Joe Biden, MJ Hegar, Chrysta Castañeda, and Democrats up and down the ballot, and we need your help to get it done.

Together, we will win -- this is our moment. So I must ask, can you rush your first $7 contribution of 2020 before our end-of-month midnight fundraising deadline?

We''re so close to winning. We can''t leave anything to chance.

Hi ,

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg paved the way for so many of us and showed us what it means to dedicate your life in service of your ideals. Supreme Court Justice, women''s rights advocate, trailblazer, and icon, Justice Ginsburg fiercely loved our country, our Constitution, and our pursuit of a more perfect union. Advancing women''s rights is one of the biggest unfinished works from the past century, and few did more to advance the rights of women and girls than Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Many of us are still reeling today from the news of her passing. I know folks in our community are feeling this keenly -- I am too. Today, we are grieving an icon. We are also entering a scary next chapter in our country''s Supreme Court. I''d be wrong not to acknowledge the fear we are feeling. So I wanted to take a moment to reach out and remind you that we are not alone in this.

Justice Ginsburg became known for her dissents -- speaking out against her colleagues'' conservative decisions on voting rights to a woman''s right to choose. She did it for us. Justice Ginsburg famously said, "Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time."

She placed her trust in us: that we would finish the fight she started. Our work right now is to carry her legacy forward. Every day, countless people in our community do just that -- pouring everything they have into the fight for justice. Our community is our greatest hope. We are here for each other, we are shoulder to shoulder in this work, and we will move forward together.

If you want the chance to change things, get in the fight, now more than ever. Keep each other close, support the folks working for justice in your community -- and get organized, whether that means calling voters across the state or having the tough, essential conversations at home.

Justice Ginsburg defied every obstacle and left the mark of a titan on the fight for justice. The best thing we can do to honor Justice Ginsburg is to keep pushing forward.

Thanks for being with us in the fight,

Dr. Carla Brailey
Vice-Chair, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

In these troubled times, we could all use a big dose of hope. So picture this: Imagine a prize so big we would lock in the White House not just for a term, but for a generation.

Texas is that prize. When we Democrats win its 38 Electoral College votes, it''s game over.

And we will win.

I''ve been following politics for over sixty years, and what I see happening in Texas is monumental. The population is getting younger and more diverse. Texans are demanding leaders who act in the interest of the people. And the polls are tight. Texas is within reach not later, but now. A win there would end Trump, and the complicit GOP.

Texas Democrats are fighting every single day to elect leaders who will serve the people of Texas, mobilize their communities, and bring people together. And they need your support.

This week, as a part of the Texas Democratic Convention, Texas Democrats are spearheading their biggest fundraising effort to date, all with the goal of turning Texas blue and changing the course of history. In order to reach their goal, they need 5,138 more donors today!

Can you help them meet their goal by making a contribution, right now, to support their Turn Texas Blue Fund?

The support Texas Democrats receive from grassroots donors defines how far they''ll go this year. Let''s carry them over the finish line.

Thank you.

George Takei

Hi ,

The Texas Democratic Party will never stop fighting to expand voting rights for all eligible Texas voters and to make sure voting is convenient, safe, and easy. Today we asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear our case arguing that every Texan be allowed to vote by mail. Today''s filing is the next step in our battle to ensure that every Texan can have their voice heard.

This case would expand the option to vote by mail to every eligible Texas voter, regardless of age.

Make no mistake, there was never any reason for mail ballots to only be available to those 65 and older. Texas was one of only four states who maintained this unconstitutional rule for the last November election. This is shameful. For years Republicans, desperate to cling onto power, have used archaic voting laws to suppress the vote of the rising Texas electorate.

On January 11, the Supreme Court will decide whether or not they will consider our case this spring. We''re hopeful that the US Supreme Court will adhere to the plain language of the Constitution and require Texas to allow all eligible voters to exercise their Constitutional right to vote -- and to do so by mail if they choose. This isn''t about Democratic or Republican voters -- this is about democracy.

Time and time again, Republicans have shown us that they will destroy our democracy for their partisan gains. It''s time for Texas'' voting laws to accurately reflect the will of Texans.

As 46 other states have already recognized, it''s time to stop using age to discriminate against voters. It''s time to let the will of Texans -- all Texans -- be heard.

Adelante,

Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

Today''s victory for DREAMers is a victory for us all. DREAMers are our doctors, nurses, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, neighbors, and members of the military. The U.S. Supreme Court reiterated that DREAMers are here to stay.

Our diversity is America''s greatest strength. Our DREAMers have always deserved the same protections as anybody else and now they will get the protections they deserve. We applaud the Supreme Court for making the right decision. The United States is a nation built by immigrants. DREAMers embody American values and contribute to the strength and resilience of the United States every single day.

Now, we must elect Joe Biden, a Democratic United States Senate, and expand our Democratic House majority. DREAMers deserve their right to remain in America codified into law. Sign up to volunteer right now so we win in November:

I''m in!

The Texas Democratic Party is proud to stand strongly and in solidarity with the DREAMers and immigrant youth here in Texas and across the country. Everybody deserves to live without fear and nobody should ever be forced to live in the shadows.

Adelante,

Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

Nineteen years later, we remember the lives lost in our nation''s worst terrorist attack. We honor the lives of those we lost and the brave and selfless responders who put themselves in harm''s way to save their fellow Americans.

In the midst of tragedy, countless heroes stepped forward. First responders raced up the stairs, rushed into the rubble, and put their lives on the line to save others. Firefighters, police officers, men and women in uniform, and countless others answered devastation with selflessness and courage.

Those same law enforcement officers and first responders are now once again placed in harm''s way. This time the attacker is the silent and deadly killer. The coronavirus has claimed more police officers'' lives than any other cause. I''ve heard it said and it''s worth repeating, it didn''t have to be this way.

We stood together as a nation following one of the worst attacks on American soil. Today, we must do the same. We offer each other the same level of compassion to overcome this pandemic, economic crisis, and social injustices to build our nation back better.

On this anniversary of September 11, we must recommit ourselves to the values we share as Americans and ensure that hope and compassion always outlast fear and hatred.

We need leaders who respect our frontline heroes and will fight for our country.

Adelante,

Hi ,

Well y''all, it''s been a hell of an election season. We ran flat out and full tilt to save our state and our country -- and we came closer than ever to turning Texas blue. 5.2 million Texas Democrats joined our neighbors around the country to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as our next president and vice-president.

After all that sprinting, I''d say it''s time for some well-deserved rest. So however you celebrated this Thanksgiving, I hope you got to kick back and take it all in. Because whether you volunteered, donated, got the word out, or got your community to the polls, you''ve sure as hell earned a victory lap (or nap).

Competent, compassionate leadership is coming back to the White House. That''s because millions and millions of people rose up and organized and used the power of their vote. And a whole lot of that uprising and organizing happened right here in Texas.

These past few months showed us what can happen when we own our power. We built an earthshaking movement of many hands working towards a single goal: saving our state and our country. Now, the trick is to keep that powerhouse alive and kicking for the fights to come.

That''s where you come in. Because the heart of this movement is you. And we''ll go exactly as far as all of us can dream and are willing to work.

Our Democratic movement is going full speed ahead in the new year. Chip in $7 or whatever you can to keep organizing and laying the track for a new blue Texas:

Y''all are an absolutely astonishing team of hell-raisers. I am looking forward to continuing the fight alongside all of you.

Let''s fight like hell,

Glen Maxey
Former State Representative

Hi ,

There''s a reason Kamala Harris is campaigning in Texas today and it''s because of every single one of you.

You know, growing up, my mom taught me that if you want to make change in your community, you don''t wait -- you work. You make your future happen.

At a time in our nation''s history when absolutely everything is on the line, Texas Democrats have done what some people thought impossible. You''ve carried this state within inches of turning blue. Inches. And when it does, Texas will block Donald Trump''s path back to the White House.

Now, it''s time to fight even harder.

In four short days, we are going to show the world who we really are. But not without your help. That''s why I''m asking: can you rush a $7 contribution or whatever you can to the Texas Democratic Party''s critical end-of-month fundraising deadline?

I don''t need to tell you how much pain this president has put our country through because we''ve all been living it -- nowhere more so than in Texas. The way we''ve gotten through it is by pulling together and pushing through.

We win by showing up for each other and pushing forward. It''s that simple. So today, we have to come together and put every last scrap of our energy into clearing this final hurdle. When we win Texas -- when we take back our state -- every bit of effort will be worth it.

This is our last chance to put in the work. If you''re with me, donate your first $7 or whatever you can to win this election today:

We''re just days away from saving our state and our country.

Keep fighting.

Julián Castro

Hi ,

On this day 100 years ago, women fought for the right to vote and won. This fight wasn''t over then. And it isn''t over now.

Today is about the suffragettes who championed the 19th Amendment. The Black women who marched during the Civil Rights movement. The women who faced all odds to build a better country for all of us. Many of them, their stories never told.

Today is also about us continuing their fight.

We''re on the verge of making history, again. Kamala Harris is set to become not only the first woman vice president but also the first woman of color. From the State House to the White House, we need representation that reflects who we are: diverse in every way, from all walks of life.

Kamala Harris, MJ Hegar, Chrysta Castañeda, Judge Amy Clark Meachum, Judge Elizabeth Davis Frizell, Judge Staci Williams, Judge Tina Clinton, Justice Gisela Triana, Kathy Cheng, and many more incredible women will be a voice for our communities. The strength and diversity of our movement isn''t just going to win this election -- it''s going to power the change we need from our elected officials and push us toward a more just future for all.

I know you''re not done fighting until we break every single glass ceiling and that is why I need your help today. Can you rush a $7 contribution right now so we can elect women up and down the ballot?

Thanks for everything you do. Let''s do this.

Hi ,

We tend to think of elections as happening on Election Day -- but this election is happening NOW. Some folks have already sent in their mail-in ballots. Tomorrow, when early voting opens, Texans will cast their very first in-person votes.

To win this election, we need to outrun and outvote Trump Republicans not just on November 3, but every day between now and then. Texans are fed up with Donald Trump and ready for change. We''ve got the energy, and we''ve got the numbers. Now, we need YOU.

From now until E-Day, we''ve set a goal of 100,000 volunteer shifts to call and text Texans and get them out to vote. Sign up for a shift now to get every single Texas Democrat to the polls and win this election for all of us:

Count me in!

You''ve stuck this out for so long and we are almost there -- now, everything comes down to these next three weeks. Let''s dig deep and give this the final push we need to win!

Thanks,

P.S. Texas early voting ends TOMORROW. Bank your vote EARLY. Go to MyTexasVotes.com to find out where.

One year ago today, tragedy struck our beloved El Paso community when a white supremacist terrorist armed with guns and ammunition stepped foot into a Wal-Mart and tragically ended 22 innocent lives. The shooter posted a manifesto shortly before committing the massacre in which he cited a ''Hispanic invasion,'' using rhetoric often spouted by Republicans, like Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, and Dan Patrick, to justify his hateful act.

It''s been one year since the shooting in El Paso and nearly one year since the tragedy in Midland-Odessa, and Texas Republicans remain no closer to taking measurable steps to ensure the lives of our families, friends, and neighbors are not lost to gun violence. Hate, racism, and xenophobia still remain entrenched in the Republican Party that we see today and Republicans continue to stall any legislation that would end gun violence or white supremacist hate.

Much like we saw with the murder of George Floyd, white supremacy has plagued American society throughout our country''s history. Despite the legal milestones that have furthered racial equality, white supremacy is instilled in our institutions and many of our Republican elected officials, through their endless rhetoric inspire white supremacists day in and day out.

It''s time to prioritize the safety of the people of our great state and confront the gun violence atrocities our communities have suffered. Everyone in our state should have the right to live a life free from gun violence and racial hatred. Republicans have demonstrated time and time again that they care more about the NRA than the lives of the people they were elected to protect.

We will elect Joe Biden as President and Democratic leaders across the state who will end gun violence and stop white supremacist violence once and for all. To do that, we need you to check your voter registration right now:

Hi ,

We are 50 days away from flipping Texas.

Now, without dwelling too much on my age, I can tell you -- I''ve been waiting for this for a long time. Texas is turning blue because folks like you said HELL NO to Trump Republicans and you''ve been putting in the work to back it up.

I''ll put it simply: there are more of us than them. When Texans come out to vote this fall, Democrats will win. Texas Republicans know it, and they are terrified which is why they''ve been dumping PAC money left, right, and center as a lifeline to vulnerable Republicans.

However, I''m not under any illusions: we are fighting for every last vote in this state. With millions of unregistered Democrats out there, voter registration is our secret weapon. However, we only have 21 days left to register Texans before the deadline. So, I need your help.

We all know how high the stakes are. During this pandemic, John Cornyn, Greg Abbott, and Republicans across the state have shown us their true colors beyond a doubt: they are more concerned with looking out for Donald Trump than protecting Texas families. Texas Republicans aren''t here for us, and they deserve to be voted out.

This is our last chance to register Texans, and everything we''ve worked for is riding on this. We need to raise $54,877 dollars to our voter registration fund before our mid-month September 15 fundraising deadline. Can you rush your first $7 of 2020 to our voter registration fund today?

Let''s fight like hell,

Glen Maxey
Former State Representative

Hey -- real quick:

Tonight is the first presidential debate, and I wanted to check-in. This is an important moment in the election cycle. For many folks, tonight is the first time they''ll fully tune in to everything that''s at stake in this election.

This is our moment, and we need you with us.

Tonight, Joe Biden is going to speak directly to the American people. He''s going to talk about his plan to contain the coronavirus and build our country back better. He will share his vision for the future and everything he will do for our families.

Voters across the country are worried about losing their job or their small businesses closing. They are concerned about their loved ones and if they will get the coronavirus. They are balancing work while making sure their kids learn remotely from home.

Joe Biden hears us, and he is here to fight for our families. The contrast between our next president and our current one could not be starker.

This is it, . We have 35 days to elect Joe Biden and defeat Trump. Rush $7 or whatever you can today:

In contrast, Trump''s failures will be on full display tonight.

President Trump lied to the American people about the coronavirus and how deadly it is. Because he didn''t have a plan, 200,000 Americans paid with their lives, and millions are unemployed.

Trump''s presidency has cost Americans everything. We have 35 days to fight with everything we''ve got -- like our lives depend on it -- to send Joe Biden to the White House.

See you online,

Brittany Switzer
Senior Brand Director, Texas Democratic Party

Hey ,

Given the recent calls for a bold reimagining of our criminal justice system, it''s incredibly important that we understand how we got here. No longer is standing on the sidelines acceptable. We must work every single day on how we dismantle racism -- that starts with coming together as a community.

In partnership with the Texas Young Democrats Black Caucus, join us today for a community forum to discuss the history of the criminal justice system here in Texas:

Hi ,

This is it. Less than one week out. And I wanted to make sure you saw this message from Beto.

Two years ago, we came within 215,000 votes of electing Beto O''Rourke. That may sound like a lot, but in Texas terms, that''s peanuts. And since then, over a million new Texans have registered to vote -- more than five times the number we would have needed to win back then.

Those new voters? Most of them are Democrats. And you''d better believe they''re voting.

This is our Texas. This is who we are today, right now. We are the biggest battleground state in the country and we are poised to win. When Texas goes blue -- we won''t just beat Trump, we''ll defeat Trumpism, itself. We''re going to steer our entire country away from the brink -- to put it simply, it''s going to be electrifying.

I know y''all are tired. Heck, I''d be shocked if you weren''t. You''ve been doing the impossible and moving mountains for a hell of a long time. You showed up and you stuck with it and you gritted your teeth and dug deep and now, we are inches away from that finish line.

I need to ask you to do it again one more time. You know, when you watch a distance race, the great runners are the ones who ignore their opponents and tune out the noise and focus like a laser on that single objective: crossing that line. And the mark of a winner is that the closer they get, the harder they run. We need to forget about everything but the goal. And we need to push for that line with every scrap of intention we''ve got.

We have six more days to put in the work and pull in the votes. We need to raise $42,357 to power the biggest Get Out The Vote operation this state has ever seen. Now is the time to hold nothing back. Rush $7 to win this election and turn Texas blue:

Let''s do this,

Cliff Walker
Deputy Executive Director, Texas Democratic Party

Subject: This is the year

, we are seven days out from making history.

This is the year Texas turns blue up and down the ballot.

We all know it couldn''t come at a better or more necessary time. Every one of us has seen the hate and division Donald Trump has put our country through, and the outright harm he''s done to Texas families and Texas communities.

After yesterday, we are hurting even more, and I''d be wrong not to acknowledge it. We are one week out from Election Day and the Republican Senate just sold its soul to confirm an extreme right-wing justice to the Supreme Court, through a process so rushed and illegitimate it almost beggars belief. Trump Republicans put Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court to strip millions of Americans of their healthcare. It could not be more clear, more cruel, or more in character.

Today, every single one of us has stepped up to say, "enough." With 38 electoral votes, our state is the path to the presidency. We are going to deliver every one of them to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and break Donald Trump''s grip on the presidency once and for all.

But , both of us know this started a long time ago. Texas is turning blue because folks like you have poured your heart and soul into inching us closer, year after year. You never gave up on the dream or on each other. And now, we''re finally here.

I am so damn proud of our brilliant, unstoppable team. We are doing the work and the result is going to send shockwaves across this country.

We''ve made it this far because of you. Our work isn''t over yet and with 7 days till election day, we can''t rest. That''s why I''m asking you personally, , can you rush your first $7 contribution of 2020 to the Texas Democratic Party''s Get Out The Vote Fund before their critical midnight deadline?

Right now, for the first time in 20 years, Democrats can win a majority in the Texas House -- drawing a decade''s worth of fair electoral districts so that Texans can truly choose who represents them.

We can send MJ Hegar to Washington and give Texas a real voice in the Senate.

We can elect a powerhouse slate of Democrats in communities across Texas -- folks who are fighting to serve our communities instead of just pandering to wealth and power.

But make no mistake, . Republicans are fighting right now to claw back this election against the tide of change. We have to be the ones who fight harder.

For the next seven days, we have to get as tired as we can pushing as hard as we can to get every last Democrat to the polls. That''s how we win Texas and save our country. I''m calling on you today to help us see this through.

Can you donate $7 or whatever you can before midnight?

I''ve said it before, I''ll say it again. I am so damn proud of the work we have done. Let''s go finish what we''ve started.

Thank you,

Beto O''Rourke

Hi ,

In just under 100 days, we have a chance to do something that hasn''t been done in decades: we have a chance to turn Texas blue and deliver our 38 Electoral College votes to a Democratic president.

Winning in November isn''t just about beating Donald Trump and electing Joe Biden. We have a real shot at getting John Cornyn out of the Senate; ?expanding our Texas congressional delegation; ?setting the agenda in the Texas Senate; ?flipping the Texas House; and electing hundreds of local Democrats across the state.

The coronavirus pandemic forced us to rework our Path to Victory. It''s no longer safe to connect with voters using the techniques we''ve relied on in the past -- like knocking on doors and gathering in-person for phone banks and block-walks.

In a moment, I want to share more about Texas Democrats'' new Path to Victory. But first, I need to ask:

Will you make your first $7 donation of 2020 to help us reach our end-of-month fundraising goal? Every contribution helps us keep fighting to turn Texas blue and elect Democrats up and down the ballot.

Over a year ago, we announced our Path to Victory -- but the coronavirus forced us to adapt and update our plan. Our new plan will require innovation, a large investment in our digital infrastructure, and hiring more talented operatives to help us deliver victories up and down the ballot.

When you donate today, you''re help fund some of the key components of our new Path to Victory:

• Organizing in the Time of the Coronavirus: We''re running a digital-first program that includes digital organizing and a seven-figure investment in digital ads to reach and persuade voters.
• Reaching out to new voters: Texas has millions of registered Democratic voters who don''t always vote. We''re reaching out to them and motivating them to vote in this election. We''re also targeting and persuading moderate and independent voters who are fed up with Trump to vote for Democrats.
• Running a coordinated campaign as BIG as Texas: We''re running the largest coordinated campaign in Texas history. This is a fully integrated effort to elect Democrats up and down the ballot -- including data, training, county party support, candidate services, and organizing.

Executing on the winning strategy laid out in our new Path to Victory is going to take a massive investment in our team''s infrastructure -- and today, I''m inviting you to support our efforts.

Make your first $7 donation of 2020 to help us reach our end-of-month fundraising goal and ensure we have the resources we need to run a winning campaign.

I won''t sugarcoat it: there''s a lot of work to do between now and November 3. But now''s not the time to get overwhelmed -- it''s time to get to work. If we all pull our weight, I know we can win in November.

Thanks for everything you do,

Dr. Carla Brailey
Vice-Chair, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

In just a moment, I''m going to ask you to make a contribution to the Texas Democratic Party''s Vote-By-Mail Fund. But first, I''d like to explain why your donation matters so much -- especially now.

As you know, Texas Republicans have spent decades trying to chip away at our state''s voting rights with tactics like extreme voter ID laws and gerrymandering. And now, during a global pandemic that''s ravaging our country and has left more than 160,000 Americans dead, Texas is one of the few states that''s actively fighting to make it harder to vote by mail in the 2020 election.

Governor Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton and the rest of Texas Republicans have doubled down on their baseless rhetoric around vote-by-mail, and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick even called it "laughable" that people are afraid to vote in-person during a pandemic.

Let me be clear: forcing people to choose between voting or exposing themselves to the coronavirus isn''t just cruel -- it''s flat-out dangerous. Fortunately, there''s something you can do right now to fight back.

The Texas Democratic Party is running their largest ever vote-by-mail operation this fall, with a goal of sending 815,000 vote-by-mail applications to Texans across the state. Elections are won and lost by vote-by-mail, so it''s critical that this program is fully funded. I''m reaching out today to ask if you''ll be a part of these efforts to help 815,000 Texans vote safely by mail in 2020.

Can you add a $1 contribution to the Texas Democratic Party''s Vote-By-Mail Fund? Your donation today will allow them to send 2 vote-by-mail applications to Texans across the state.

We must win in November: the very future of our country depends on it. And it''s definitely not going to be easy. But trust me on this, because I know a thing or two about tough odds: we CAN get this done.

It''s no exaggeration when I say that Texas is the biggest battleground state in the country -- and when we win in November, it will be due in large part to supporters like you who have worked tirelessly to turn Texas blue.

Thanks so much for your support.

Wendy Davis
Democratic nominee for Texas Congressional District 21

The only way we will take back our country is if we all work together. We need to fund 815,000 vote-by-mail applications by this Friday. Can you rush a $7 contribution to fund our vote-by-mail program?

Yes, I''ll chip in

Hi ,

Did you see this email from Glen?

Just like the rest of the country, our Texas Democratic movement is in a time of transition. Over the next month or two, we''ll be inviting every Democrat -- from volunteers, party leaders, candidates, elected officials, and anyone who chipped in a few bucks -- to participate in a debrief process to capture every reflection, good idea and constructive critique from this past cycle.

Then, we''ll start mapping out our work for the next two years: supporting the Biden-Harris administration, passing legislation that puts Texas families first, electing Democrats at the local level, and gearing up to defeat Greg Abbott in 2022.

Thanks to your work over this past election, we''re in a really, really strong position to kick all of this off. Like, historically strong. We built a movement the likes of which our state has never seen -- a volunteer army fighting for progress, driven by the duty to take care of each other and be stewards of our state''s future.

Now, we''ve got to take what we built and convert it into energy and infrastructure for the work ahead. If you''re feeling ready to jump back in, please chip in $7 or whatever you can to help power the next wave of Democratic organizing in Texas.

You''ve been in it for the long haul and that''s what has allowed us to go the distance. Thanks for growing this small but mighty movement into the powerhouse it is today.

Let''s keep going,

Cliff Walker

Subject: Flat out and full tilt

Hi ,

Well y''all, it''s been a hell of an election season. We ran flat out and full tilt to save our state and our country -- and we came closer than ever to turning Texas blue. 5.2 million Texas Democrats joined our neighbors around the country to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as our next president and vice-president.

After all that sprinting, I''d say it''s time for some well-deserved rest. So however you celebrated this Thanksgiving, I hope you got to kick back and take it all in. Because whether you volunteered, donated, got the word out, or got your community to the polls, you''ve sure as hell earned a victory lap (or nap).

Competent, compassionate leadership is coming back to the White House. That''s because millions and millions of people rose up and organized and used the power of their vote. And a whole lot of that uprising and organizing happened right here in Texas.

These past few months showed us what can happen when we own our power. We built an earthshaking movement of many hands working towards a single goal: saving our state and our country. Now, the trick is to keep that powerhouse alive and kicking for the fights to come.

That''s where you come in. Because the heart of this movement is you. And we''ll go exactly as far as all of us can dream and are willing to work.

Our Democratic movement is going full speed ahead in the new year. Chip in $7 or whatever you can to keep organizing and laying the track for a new blue Texas:

Y''all are an absolutely astonishing team of hell-raisers. I am looking forward to continuing the fight alongside all of you.

Hi ,

This week has been amazing.

As we watch the Democratic National Convention and listen to the incredible women leading our party today, I could not be more thrilled that we finally have a Black and Indian American woman at the top of the ticket. I hope you are as inspired as I am by Kamala Harris.

We will elect Kamala Harris as not only our first woman Vice President but also the first woman of color.

Women are the backbone of the Democratic Party, and we have carried our entire nation forward. It''s long past time to see ourselves represented in our country''s highest office, and when Kamala Harris shatters that glass ceiling, it''s going to be felt in the lives of women everywhere.

Kamala Harris will fight for us -- alongside the many incredible Democratic women on the ballot this fall. They need us by their side. I''m all in for Kamala. That''s why I''m asking, can you rush your first $7 contribution of 2020 right now to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?

When it comes down to it, we have the strength and the numbers to win this and that''s because of folks like you.

Thanks for everything you do,

Dr. Carla Brailey
Vice-Chair, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the next president and vice president of the United States.

We just elected the first Black and South Asian woman vice president in our nation''s history. My heart is full to bursting.

Because of the tireless effort of Democrats across the country, millions of American lives are going to change for the better -- including countless families here in Texas. And with Kamala Harris as our vice president, communities of color across the United States will finally have the champion they deserve.

Kamala broke barriers her entire life to get here. Now, she''s going to keep doing exactly what she''s always done: fight like hell for working people, and champion those who need it most.

Because of Kamala, young Black girls are going to grow up in this country with the living proof that they can do anything they set their mind to. There''s a big blue sky of opportunity where that thick glass ceiling used to be.

There is so much to be joyful about.

This took work and grit and guts from every single woman of color who threw heart and soul into electing a vice president who reflects us, and from every American who stood with us every step of the way. What you''ve accomplished is nothing short of magnificent. Black women are the backbone of the Democratic Party, and with absolutely everything on the line, we carried this country forward once more.

To every woman of color who carried Kamala on her back and in her heart, this victory belongs to you.

Our fight is not over. That''s the beauty of democracy. Republicans are not going to give up easily, because they know that we will enact change that will be felt for generations. However, our movement is unstoppable. This year, we moved Texas closer than ever to turning blue. Our energy inspired our fellow Democrats around the country this year, and what we''ve built will only continue to grow.

Let''s soak it all in, relish this victory, rest up -- and then get back out there. The fight continues and our movement rolls forward. You can help keep up the momentum right now by chipping in $7 to fight for justice, equality, compassion, and freedom in 2021 and beyond.

I''m so grateful to every single one of you who pushed this earth-shattering victory forward. Thank you for fighting the good fight, and fighting hard enough to win.

With joy and gratitude,

Dr. Carla Brailey
Vice-Chair, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

Kamala Harris has been fighting for us all her life, and I can''t wait to watch her on the debate stage tonight.

We''ve waited for this moment for a long, long time. Tonight, it''s finally here. For the first time in HISTORY, an amazing woman of color will take center stage in the fight for our nation''s second highest office. Millions of Americans will be cheering tonight as Kamala smashes that glass ceiling to bits.

We have less than one month to flip Texas and clear the path to the White House for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I see you haven''t donated to Texas Democrats this year. We are so close to flipping this state, and we need you on our side. Chip in $7 today to help power this movement to a win:

Kamala stands for ALL of us. Just like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris embodies the kind of leadership we need right now: experienced, empathetic, compassionate, and steady. This is the team that will put our communities first, contain the coronavirus, build the economy back better, and unite our country so we can move forward. That''s what''s on all of our minds as we head into tonight''s debate.

That could not be farther from the response of the current administration, and right now, our families are suffering because of it. For eight months, Trump, Pence, and Trump Republicans have left us to face this virus alone. They don''t care about our families and they could not have made it more obvious. We are living and breathing the consequences.

It''s why we know beyond a doubt: our future hinges on electing Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats up and down the ballot.

For the next 27 days, we have to fight like hell to get them there.

Adelante,

Gilberto Hinojosa

Hi ,

The most important election of our lifetimes is here, and it''s going to be decided in Texas.

Texans are voting NOW. Literally, right now -- and in droves. Just yesterday, we saw the largest Day One voter turnout in Texas history. And from the look of it, Texas Democrats are showing no sign of letting up.

Y''all, this is it. We''ve got just under 3 weeks to get this done. We''ve worked for years for this moment. The time to be firing on all cylinders is NOW -- not November 3, not the weekend leading up to it, but today, right this minute.

Texans know exactly what the stakes are. Every single one of us is living and breathing the consequences of this failed presidency and all the Texas Republicans who closed ranks around Trump while selling us out. Because of that, more Texans than ever are coming out, voting blue, and ushering in a new era where our government truly represents us.

We have the numbers. We have the fire. But it''s up to us to share that sense of urgency with and encourage millions of Texans to come out to the polls and cast their ballots. Whether we do that successfully will decide this election.

Today, I''m asking you to step up again and help bring this home. If you''re ready to make your first donation, this is when it matters most. We are making a massive push to get Texas Democrats out to vote, but we need to raise $50,391 by midnight tomorrow to do that. Can you chip in another $7 or whatever you can to our Get Out The Vote Fund?

It''s really this simple: if we execute our program, we will win. It''s up to us now.

In the fight,

Hi ,

You''re going to hear a LOT about "momentum" in the weeks leading up to the election -- who''s got it, who doesn''t, and what it means for the campaigns you''re following closely.

Right now, the momentum is on our side. A brand-new poll showed that my campaign is running just ONE POINT behind John Cornyn. The Democrats running in key Congressional districts across Texas are surging. Up and down the ballot, Democrats are running to win.

But , momentum doesn''t mean jack without the work to back it up.

We need a record number of Texans to vote in this upcoming election -- even in the face of a global pandemic. Fortunately, there''s something you can do RIGHT NOW to help make that possible. The Texas Democratic Party is running their largest vote-by-mail program to date, with a goal of sending over 815,000,000 vote-by-mail applications to Texans across the state.

If you''re able, please add a $1 contribution to the Texas Democratic Party''s Vote-By-Mail Fund so they can send 2 Texans their application.

Texas is ready to flip. I just know it. And trust me -- it''s not going to be easy. It''s going to be hard as hell to get this done. But I know that, with your help, we can win in November.

Thanks, y''all. Talk soon.

MJ Hegar

The only way we will take back our country is if we all work together. We need to fund 815,000 vote-by-mail applications by this Friday. Can you rush a $7 contribution to fund our vote-by-mail program?

Yes, I''ll chip in

Hi ,

We have 52 days until the most important election of our lifetimes, and we need to give this everything we''ve got.

However, this fight will be very, very tough, and it''s going to take a lot of effort from every single one of us.

I need your help reaching out to our neighbors. With less than two months to Election Day, we need to call and text as many Texans as possible and get them ready to vote. Can you join a virtual organizing event today?

Find a virtual event

I talk to Texas Democrats every day, and I can tell you, we are FIRED UP. Folks like you are putting in the hours and having the tough, essential conversations -- getting us closer and closer to flipping Texas and ending Donald Trump''s reign of chaos.

Let''s go win this,

Brooklynne Mosley
Coordinated Campaign Director, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

This week was not only the start of early voting -- we also wrapped up Hispanic Heritage Month. Right now, I could not be more proud of our Texas Latino community. We are at the heart of this fight to save our communities, our state, and our country and we are making our voices heard at the polls.

Our entire future is on the line in this election. If we can get every last voter to actually cast their ballot, we will WIN. However, we only have 18 days left, and we can''t do it without you.

Right now, we are making a MASSIVE push to call and text Texans and get them to go out and vote. We need to fill 100,000 volunteer shifts -- sign up today:

Count me in!

The impact of our organizing work is clear. I cannot thank you enough for signing up for the many volunteer opportunities over the past few weeks and all the events to come.

P.S. Did you know that there are events happening today through Thursday, with speakers from all over the country? You don''t want to miss it -- find a local watch party today!

Hi ,

In a bombshell report, former top aides for Indicted Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton alleged, among other violations of the law, that Paxton took bribes and abused the power of his office.

Indicted Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton is the top law enforcement official for the state. Yet, he has proven for years that he cannot follow the law himself. Ken Paxton is an admitted lawbreaker. He''s been investigated by the Texas Rangers, and currently on trial for criminal securities fraud. Now, he faces additional bribery and illegal conduct allegations from his own top aides.

I need you to step up. I see you haven''t donated to Texas Democrats this year. You may have been waiting for the right moment to contribute. The most important thing you can do right now is chip in $7 right now:

Paxton is the co-chair of Lawyers for Trump and most recent prior chair of the national Republican Attorney General''s Association. Paxton also leads the Republican lawsuit to repeal the Affordable Care Act in the middle of the biggest pandemic in modern American history.

Texans are tired of Republican corruption and lawlessness that festers under their unchecked power. Indicted Ken Paxton''s actions have been criminal, and the consequences are dire for the people of Texas.

Texans deserve new leadership and they are demanding change. To bring change, every Texan must vote Democratic up and down the ballot in November. We''re not only in a battle to stop the pandemic and save our state but to save our entire democracy.

Hey --

Have you seen the latest numbers? In five out of the last six polls, Biden beats Trump in Texas:

Texas is the biggest battleground state. And we''ve got Trump Republicans running scared, because they know if Democrats win Texas, they''ll block the Republican path to the White House.

We have the momentum to win. Together, we''re going to defeat Donald Trump, take out John Cornyn, ?send more Texas Democrats to Congress, ?take back the Texas House, and elect hundreds of Democrats in communities across the state.

This is our moment. Chip in a $7 contribution today:

Hey ,

Did you ever want to go backstage at Seinfeld and meet the cast and the writers and see what was really going on?

Well, you can''t because the show''s been over for a very long time.

But you can join Jason Alexander, Larry David, myself, and special guests as we talk about the show about nothing, and hang out and shoot the shit all in an effort to turn Texas blue tomorrow.

It''s hosted by Seth Meyers. So that''s something. I love Seth Meyers. I''d tune in for that. Tell you the truth.

We call it our Fundraiser About Something. And when you donate, you''ll get to see and hear us yakking away. You''ll also be chipping in to flip the presidency, the Senate, and to protect Texas from gerrymandering for the next decade. So yeah, that''s something all right.

I love all of these guys. And I can''t believe I had to throw a fundraiser just to hang out with them. Don''t miss it. Chip in any amount and get your spot right now:

Donate whatever you can for this once in a lifetime event. I say once in a lifetime because it''s impossible to get Larry David to do anything. (Except I got him to do this.)

Can''t wait to see you there.

Yadda yadda yadda,

Hey --

I know this has been a hard year for us all. We have all struggled, whether that be from loneliness, sickness, or current events. These negative feelings can manifest themselves in our bodies and minds. I know being this close to the election has a lot of us worried. Waiting to see if Texas puts Joe Biden over the top.

So I wanted to take a moment to reach out and ask, how are you doing today? As well as, lead us through a short mindfulness exercise.

I''m going to ask you to close your eyes and think about: Where are you going to be on election night. Who are you going to be with? What are you going to do when Texas turns blue?

Close your eyes and take 10 deep breaths, and think about your election night:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.

I hope this email has put you at ease and inspired you to take action, so we make the election night you just imagined become reality.

If it has, here are three actions you can take right now that will help get us over the finish line:

Donate $7

Volunteer!

Ask your friends to vote

Hope you have a great rest of your day,

We have 5 DAYS LEFT to flip the White House and turn Texas blue. Rush $7 before our midnight end-of-month deadline:

Chip in now

Hi ,

I know you''ve probably gotten a TON of election emails by this point in the week.

Hopefully, they''re pretty inspirational. And more likely than not, they all say more or less the same thing: our entire future is on the line right now. Go vote and help us get others voting too.

You know what, ? They''re right. We''ve lived through four years of Donald Trump. We know exactly how bad it can get and we know we can''t stand a single minute more.

In five short days, we have the chance to end this disaster. When Texas goes blue, the White House will follow. However, this is not only the most critical time in this campaign -- it''s also when the going gets the most tough.

We have one massive final hurdle to clear. And that''s why -- at great risk of flooding your inbox -- I''m making one more appeal to you today.

This is our very last chance to bar the door to Trump''s reelection and I need you pulling with us 100%. Our strategy at this point is simple -- get every eligible Texan out to vote -- and if we do it, we''ll win. We need to raise $22,674. Can you chip away at that balance and rush $7 or whatever you can before our end-of-month fundraising deadline?

We are so, so close. Millions of Texans have already cast their vote for Joe Biden.

This is our moment.

The most important thing we can do right now is keep pushing with all our might.

Let''s win this thing!

Executive Director, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

We''re on our last day of the Texas Democratic Convention. It seemed like it was only yesterday that I walked into the Texas Democrats office for the first time, thinking about how we were going to pull this off. Despite that, I''m up for any challenge that comes my way.

We''re wrapping up convention week with our Saturday General Session filled with panels, trainings, and a special word from Presidential Democratic Nominee and Former Vice President Joe Biden. Don''t forget, we''re concluding our convention with the U.S. Senate Debate between MJ Hegar and Royce West. Join me in concluding our historic 2020 Texas Democratic Convention:

Thank you for making this such a memorable experience for me, and see you next year.

Thanks, y''all & talk soon!

Hannah Roe Beck
Convention Director, Texas Democratic Party

P.S. Election results are posted at 7:30PM today -- don''t miss them.

Last night, Joe Biden officially accepted the Democratic nomination to become the next president of the United States.

In just a moment, I''m going to tell you why this means so much personally to me. First, I have to ask: can you chip in $7 or whatever you can so we can deliver our 38 electoral votes to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?

As a proud Texas Democrat, I could not be more thrilled or more ready. Out of the crisis we are living in as a nation, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the leaders we need to bring us together and help us build back better.

For too many of our friends, neighbors, and children, the ''American Dream'' our parents and our grandparents fought so hard for is no longer within reach. That''s because Trump''s Republican Party doesn''t care about governing or about our families. They only care about power. Enough is enough. Together, Democrats are going to put an end to this horrific chapter in American history.

As Joe Biden said last night, "America''s history tells us that it has been in our darkest moments that we''ve made our greatest progress. That we''ve found the light. And in this dark moment, I believe we are poised to make great progress again. That we can find the light once more."

Democrats fight for a fair shot because we believe that the United States can still be the land of opportunity that gave hope to so many of our ancestors. Led by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and every single one of us in our Democratic community, I know that we will get there again, because we will never stop fighting until we do.

As this historic Convention comes to a close, now is the time to come together and put everything we''ve got into sending Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House. Can you rush your first $7 of 2020 to help elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as our next president and vice president?

This election is about all of us. We will get there together.

Adelante,

Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair, Texas Democratic Party

Hi ,

I hope you''ve been connecting with other Texas Democrats, because that''s just the first step in building our statewide coalitions. You and your new friends should see today''s schedule before we end the week with general sessions -- don''t miss your chance:

Thanks, y''all & talk soon!

Hannah Roe Beck Convention Director, Texas Democratic Party

P.S. It''s not too late to reserve your ticket for the Texas Democratic Convention!

Hi ,

MJ Hegar is our Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate!

MJ is a decorated combat veteran and working mom, and we will be lucky to have her fighting for us in the U.S. Senate. MJ embodies the values of Texas: she is tough, hard-working, independent, and has spent her career serving her country and fellow Texans.

MJ has proven herself to be a formidable campaigner and a relentless advocate for health care, while Senator Cornyn has proven himself to be an unpopular and out-of-touch incumbent who deserves to lose his seat.

Between now and November, Texas Democrats will work day in and day out alongside MJ to win. But, we can''t win big in Texas without you, .

This election, everything is on the line. So I''m asking: Will you split your first $7 contribution of 2020 between MJ Hegar and the Texas Democratic Party?

Hi ,

Texas is?n''t "the future" of the Democratic Party. Texas is "now?."? ??More and more outlets -- including 538, The Economist and NBC -- ?are calling Texas a "toss-up." And ?every recent poll shows that Texas is a jump ball at the presidential level.? ?

That''s why Texas Republicans are running scared. Their major ?funders -- both in-state and outside groups -- are stepping up to pour millions into the state to try to drown us out?, scare voters? and block our momentum.

We can''t let them.

Rush a $7 donation to the Texas Democratic Party today to ensure we have the resources we need to deliver Texas to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris -- and elect Texas Democrats down the ticket. We need to raise $49,092 to reach our end-of-month fundraising goal, can you chip in?

Now, look, I''ll be honest: Texas has never been the darling of outside Democratic groups. We''ve ?always ?had to carve our own path -- being as scrappy and creative as possible, and relying on grassroots donors like you, Sheamanti, to power our movement.

At the start of the year, we had great ambitions to run a massive in-person organizing operation. But you know what they say about the best-laid plans! Once coronavirus reached our country, it became clear that we needed to ?adapt our strategy completely.

Thanks to your help and support, we were able to ?pivot and not skip a beat.

We''ve called more than ?a million voters. Texted more than 1.5 million voters. Mailed more than 818,000 voter registration cards and more than 250,000 National Change of Address ?voter registration? applications? in just the past two weeks?. And this team has reached every grassroots fundraising goal we''ve set.

Now, with just 69 days until Election Day, you know the Republicans are going to pull out all the stops. That''s why we can''t afford to take our foot off the gas. Not for one second.

Add your first donation of $7 or more to help our team at the Texas Democratic Party reach our end-of-month fundraising goal.

In the fight,

Cliff Walker
Deputy Executive Director, Texas Democratic Party

I''ve spent my career working as a political analyst and strategist -- and while we''ve never lived through an election like this one before, lemme tell you one piece of advice that''s gotten me through countless elections:

The polls don''t mean spit. We''ve gotta organize, register, donate, volunteer, mobilize and VOTE like we''re at least 10 points behind.

We have a real shot at turning Texas blue this year -- but only if we give it our all. Can you rush your first $7 contribution of 2020 to help the Texas Democratic Party reach their end-of-month fundraising goal and fully fund their Path to Victory plan?

I grew up in Missouri City, just outside of Houston, and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin (Hook ''em!). So while I''ve had the privilege of working on campaigns across the world, trust me when I say -- nothing will make me happier than flipping Texas.

Texas is the biggest battleground state in the country. If we flip Texas, we''ll completely block Trump''s path to re-election. Plus, we have a real shot at replacing John Cornyn with MJ Hegar, and electing Texas Democrats up and down the ballot.

In 2018, we almost got it done. This year, it could come down to less than a percentage point. We''ve gotta work like we''re behind, and we''ve gotta make sure the Texas Democratic Party reaches every single fundraising goal they set. That''s why I''m asking you today:

Can you add your first $7 contribution of 2020 right now to help turn Texas blue?

Texas is only in play thanks to thousands of grassroots activists like you -- people who have done the difficult, expensive, thankless, joyful, early, continuous work of laying the foundation we need to win.

And when we win, it''s gonna so good, feelin'' good again.

Thanks again,

Paul Begala

Hey -- real quick:

From day one of the coronavirus crisis, Governor Greg Abbott refused to take the lead and mandate common-sense policies to curb the spread of the virus.

He was late in shutting down Texas, closing schools, and increasing testing and passed off the responsibility of governing to overwhelmed and understaffed county and local leaders.

Texas had a record 5,489 new cases yesterday and has had 12 straight days in a row with rising coronavirus hospitalizations.

Today, the Texas Democratic Party launched digital ads exposing Abbott''s abysmal record on keeping Texans safe during this coronavirus pandemic. The record-breaking number of COVID-19 cases today and the fact that Texas has seen 12-straight days of record hospitalizations is because of Greg Abbott''s failure to lead.

Texans are suffering. We''re seeing the catastrophic results of Abbott''s failures.

We have to be in this fight together and we need your help to keep these ads up. No contribution is too small. , I''m personally asking, can you make your first $7 contribution of 2020 so we can continue to expose Republican misinformation?

Together, we can win this election.

Together, we can change the course of history.

See you online,

Senior Brand Director, Texas Democratic Party

Hey -- We just saw the results, Biden is ahead of Trump in Texas AGAIN.

I''ve said this before and I''ll say it again: the path to the White House is through Texas. We must keep this polling lead so we can send Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House and elect Democrats up and down the ballot.

This is a big moment for us as Texas Democrats. We must keep up the momentum. We need a lot of donations if we''re going to keep our voter contact programs running full speed ahead.

We''re ready to win. Every donation will power the resources we need to take back our state. Chip in your first $7 donation of 2020 or whatever you can today:

Thanks -- now let''s get to work,

Hi ,

Throughout the Texas Democratic Convention, I''ve learned so much from our lineup of speakers, panels, and dynamic trainings. We''ve brought Texas Democrats together in order to turn Texas blue and create a more equitable, just future in our state.

Now more than ever, I''m so proud to be working in the biggest battleground state in the nation. I''m proud to call myself a Texas Democrat because we''re the Party of the people, and our mission is innovative, inclusive, and hopeful. We spend hours phone banking, canvassing, volunteering, and so much more for a single common cause: a fair shot for all.

I''m reaching out to you today because we''re powered by small-dollar grassroots donors just like you. Unlike Republicans, our votes and elected officials can''t be bought. And that''s the truth.

Thanks,

Luke Warford
Voter Expansion Director, Texas Democratic Party

P.S. It''s not too late to grab your ticket to the Texas Democratic Convention!

Hi ,

Today, the United States Supreme Court denied a stay of our vote by mail lawsuit before the primary runoff elections.

We are disappointed that the Supreme Court did not weigh in now and provide needed relief and clarity for voters ahead of the primary runoff. Now, thanks to Republican Governor Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and the all-Republican membership of the Texas Supreme Court, only some voters will be permitted to vote by mail during this primary election.

The case proceeds on in other filings before the U.S. Supreme Court and the Fifth Circuit and therefore, hope remains that the federal courts will restore equal voting rights in time for the November elections.

We will not stop fighting for the rights of voters.

If we''re going to turn Texas blue, we have to fight harder than we ever thought possible. We can''t do this without you, . Can you rush a $7 contribution to our voter protection fund?

Adelante,
