Hi John,

I hate to interrupt your Tuesday afternoon with an email, but this can’t wait.

Our critical mid-month deadline is just a few hours away — at midnight, tonight. We set out to raise $10,000 so that we can finish these final 21 days of the race stronger than ever.

But we’re still $2,637 short of our goal, and time is running out.

I don’t want to waste any more of your time, so I’ll get straight to it, John. Will you pitch in $5 or any amount you can spare before the clock strikes midnight? Here’s a link you can use: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/vf-em-fr-oct24

We cannot afford to miss out on this goal. In this final stretch, my team and I are hitting the ground running — connecting with voters, spreading my mission, and ensuring NC-04 have the voice they deserve in Congress.

But defending my seat comes with a cost, John. That’s why I need your support now more than ever. Could you take a moment to donate any amount to my re-election campaign? Here’s that link again: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/vf-em-fr-oct24

Thank you for your time,

Valerie
