John,

Donald Trump won North Carolina 49.93% to 48.59% in 2020. We know that ignoring rural voters doesn't work, and that's why Contest Every Race is investing in rural, swing state districts in places that are going to decide the next President.

And, the buzz in the air about the Democratic ticket is palpable.

Rural America is on fire with enthusiasm at Tim Walz as the choice for running mate. Walz is a progressive guy who's run and won in red and purple districts – he's a teacher and coach, a hunter and outdoorsman. To add to his incredible list of accomplishments, he knows from experience that rural folks have gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to health care, infrastructure, and green economy jobs.

And, before we continue talking about how Walz is making a difference for this country, can you chip in $3 to help support our recruitment efforts? We've recruited a slate of candidates down the ballot who are ready to build a better future for rural America.

Tim Walz is modeling behavior for the next generation of Democratic leaders across the U.S.

He's a down-to-earth guy who wants to do what's best for his family and his country – and that's electrifying progressive, liberal, and centrist Dems in rural and reddish states like North Carolina. He's popular and well-liked, and that means new possibilities are opening up in rural districts across the country.

And now, our down-ballot candidates are on the ground harnessing this newfound enthusiasm and sharpening their messages to what local folks care about.

The momentum is already building, so we can't slow down now. It's why we've recruited thousands of candidates to run since our beginning and it's why we don't back down from the places that are toughest to win. North Carolina is officially on the table for Democrats in November!

Donate to win!
