Hi John, did you see this?

Last week Valerie attended the Democratic National Convention in Chicago and bore witness to the first Black woman becoming the official Democratic nominee for President of the United States.

History unfolded as Kamala Harris redefined what it means to be a Black woman in America, and NC-04’s very own Valerie was right there to see it.

At Foushee HQ, we’re ready more than ever to usher in an era of historical progress — but this is impossible if we don’t put all our energy towards defending Valerie’s seat.

We’re forwarding yesterday’s email from Valerie where she explains the stakes of our end-of-month deadline and why our $15,000 goal matters. Give it a read and seriously consider donating to support Valerie today, even just $5 makes a difference.

Hi John,

It’s impossible to convey how historic last week was.

Democrats from across the nation united in Chicago to celebrate democracy, adopt a comprehensive party platform, and officially nominate Kamala Harris for President of the United States.

I had the privilege of being there as the first Black woman officially accepted the nomination at the top of the Democratic ticket — President of the United States.

I’m in the mood to keep making history, are you, John? Our momentum is at an all-time high, but to ensure we enter these final months stronger than ever we’ve set a $15,000 goal to hit by midnight on Saturday, August 31st. Will you pitch in $5 or any amount you can to my re-election campaign today?

I cannot emphasize enough how fired up I am to continue making critical progress for my home district of NC-04, and our nation as a whole.

But, I’ll admit, as much as this race is historic — it’s tough. As we get closer and closer to Election Day, we need to be reaching as many voters as possible — and that’s only possible if we have the resources, John.

Our end-of-month goal of $15,000 will provide us with the critical foundation of grassroots support needed to recruit more volunteers, mobilize more swing voters, and connect with the diverse communities that span this district. So, if you could consider pitching in $5 right now, you would bring us that much closer to our goal and making more history in November »

Thank you,

Valerie
