John — Here’s the truth:

My Republican opponent Thom Tillis has the full backing of Mitch McConnell’s megadonor network, and super PACs who can spend big to attack me and help him win.

I know it, you know it, the GOP knows it — this race will determine Senate control. That’s why Washington Republicans are spending more money here than any other state.

As the campaign heats up, we will be bombarded with constant, new attacks trying to tear us down and keep McConnell’s grip on the Senate majority. Right now, the only way we can fight back against this influx of attacks is with a whole lot of small-dollar contributions from folks like you.

So, I am personally asking if you’ll add your first donation to my campaign for U.S. Senate today. Knowing I can count on your $5, $10, or $25 right now will allow our campaign to plan ahead and stop these attacks from working. Pitch in right here:

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

Chip in $10 now Chip in $25 now

Chip in $50 now Chip in $100 now

Chip in $250 now Another Amount

The only way we can stand up to our broken system and McConnell’s army of megadonors is if we keep working together to build our campaign and win back the Senate.

Thanks for stepping up today.
