John, now that the Convention is over, all eyes are on the battleground states — especially North Carolina. Not only is the presidential race now rated a toss-up, but our gubernatorial contest is also the most consequential of 2024.

National Republicans see North Carolina as the top gubernatorial pick-up opportunity. Meanwhile, Trump knows he has to carry this state if he wants to win the White House. That’s why GOP mega-donors are already spending tens of millions on the airwaves to try to defeat me and drag down Democratic turnout at every level.

Our fight is about more than our race alone, John. If Democrats win in North Carolina, we can STOP the far-right extremist agenda in its tracks. That’s why we need to keep up our grassroots fundraising efforts in the face of far-right donors’ blank checks supporting Mark Robinson. Please: Will you donate just $5 before our end-of-August deadline on Saturday?

For months, this race has been locked in a dead heat. It’s rated a toss-up, and polls have been close. All this despite the extremist threat Mark Robinson poses to our state.

Look, you already know the stakes. You already know that our rights are on the line. It’s the future of our state and country that we’re fighting for — and our victory isn’t assured.

North Carolina statewide elections are historically very close, and with only a small percentage of voters remaining undecided, we expect that this election could hinge on a handful of votes.

John, I ask for your help a lot, and I will continue to need it over the coming weeks. But the earlier you can donate, the further your contribution will go. Click here to pitch in ANYTHING you are able to before this month’s rapidly approaching deadline.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

We have hard work ahead of us, but together, we’ll defeat right-wing extremism and win this election to move North Carolina forward.

Thanks,

Josh Stein
