Hey Faith,
We wanted to take a minute to share a little bit about another young progressive candidate who should be on your radar. Her name is Kristian Carranza, and she's running for the Texas State House of Representatives!

Kristian lives on the Southside of San Antonio and she's exactly the kind of leader we need in office. She grew up with a single mom who worked hard to provide for her family, and she's been working to help provide for herself and her family since she was 16 years old. Since then, she's registered over 10,000 voters in Texas and is now ready to bring the fight to the Texas State House.
And with Greg Abbott expected to introduce a slew of harmful, backward bills in the legislature next year, Kristian's victory could be crucial in preventing some of them from passing.
If you want to help Kristian win, will you split a donation of $5 or more between her campaign and Leaders We Deserve today?

Here are just a few of the things we're expecting to see in the legislature next year:
- More school voucher bills that would defund public schools and send that money to private religious schools instead
- More NRA-backed bills that increase the risk of gun violence
- More attacks on LGBTQ+ people
- More limits on access to abortion and other reproductive health services
But Faith, here's the good news: Kristian's race is competitive. In fact, she's running in the only state house district in Texas that's held by a Republican and that both Biden and Beto O'Rourke won.
By flipping this seat blue, Kristian can increase our chances of stopping Abbott's backward policies from becoming law and she can help shine a spotlight on the issues young people care about most.
Competitive races are always expensive though, and you can bet Texas Republicans will spend big to hang on to this seat.
That's why we're asking you to split a donation of $5 between Kristian's campaign and Leaders We Deserve today. Your contribution will go a long way toward flipping this competitive district blue!

Thank you, Faith. More updates soon!
