John, it’s Valerie.

Last week, we faced down our first major fundraising deadline of 2025, and thanks to everyone on this team, we were able to reach our goal. I’m constantly humbled by your willingness to donate and share my vision for North Carolina, John.

What keeps me going in this work is a commitment to building a better future for our children and a better life for our communities — and I feel so blessed to know I have you by my side in this mission.

Though the road ahead may be full of unknowns, our faith and solidarity in a better future for all is exactly how we’ll get through.

Thank you for your support, your dedication, and for being part of this movement. I’m grateful to have you with me in this fight.

Valerie
