Dear Fellow Patriot,
You may know my husband, Dan Crenshaw. He's in his second term as a Republican Congressman from Texas, representing the neighborhoods and communities around Houston.
Before Dan was elected to Congress, he served our country for ten years as a Navy SEAL. It was during Dan's SEAL training, referred to as BUD/S, that I met Dan.
While Dan was in BUD/S, I needed a challenge... a goal to work towards. So, I decided I would run a marathon.
After two months of preparation, race day arrived. Dan was excited to cheer me on and watch me meet this goal. At mile 19, he jumped on the course to run a few miles with me. Dan wanted the experience of us running the marathon together.
If you've ever run a marathon, you come to a point where you hit a mental wall, and your legs can't go one more step. Mine came at mile 23. I could not take one more step, and I told Dan that I didn't think I could finish.
Dan said, "I am going to put my hand on your back and give you a slight push." It sounded strange, but at this point, I was willing to try anything. He did. My legs started moving, and I finished the race.
This is called a buddy push. In BUD/S, you are paired up with a buddy, and when you are not able to run one more step, your buddy gives you a push to keep you going.
Dan and I have always been a team supporting each other when the other needs a buddy push.
When Dan was severely injured during his third deployment, I was by his side throughout his recovery, always there to give him a buddy push when needed.
During the long and exhausting days of our first campaign for Congress, Dan and I were there for each other, giving each other a buddy push along the way.
Now in Congress, I've seen Dan give his colleagues a buddy push when they are attacked by those that disagree with them.
Campaigns cost tons of money and Dan raises a lot of it. But unlike many politicians, Dan doesn't keep the money just to help his own re-election or to stock up his campaign coffers. He travels across the country, raising money and holding events for the strong conservatives we need in Congress, in state legislatures, and in governors' seats throughout America. Dan is out there every single day giving a buddy push to the Republicans we need to help the country we love prosper.
So, for Dan's 38th birthday today, I've decided to give him a buddy push that he offers to so many others. This time for his campaign.
I committed to helping raise $125,000 for Dan's congressional campaign, and your contribution of $35, $50, $100, $175, $250, $500, $1,000, $2,900, or some other amount will be a huge buddy push for Dan and the basis of a strong foundation for a winning campaign not just for himself, but for conservative patriots across the country.

Dan loves his job. He loves representing Texas in the United States Congress and is proud of his mission to serve the American people. I hope you will consider supporting Dan's campaign.
Dan and I will be proud to have you on our team, and I will be so grateful when your help arrives.
Sincerely,
Tara Crenshaw |
