John —

In a few moments, I am going to ask you to make a contribution to help me flip this seat in North Carolina and take back the Senate. This is an important moment for our campaign, which is why I’m reaching out. Let me explain:

The most critical FEC fundraising deadline of our campaign so far is coming up at the end of this month. And when we get there, we will report our numbers to the public.

Everybody from the press to Mitch McConnell and his corporate special interests will pore over our FEC report, looking to see if we’re really putting together the resources needed to win.

With the polls saying this is a one-point race, McConnell’s super PAC will ramp up their attacks if they think we’re weak. It’s critical we report as many individual donations as we can before the FEC deadline to show how strong this team is.

So, we’ve set an ambitious goal of reaching 25,000 individual online contributions this week. Can you donate $10 or more to help us fight back against GOP attacks and ensure we report a strong number on our FEC report?

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 amount you donate is far less important than the act of giving itself. Because every time you pitch in to support this campaign, you’re sending a message about the type of leader you want in Washington.

I want anyone who looks at our FEC report to see what I see: A strong coalition of folks fighting back against political corruption in Washington.

Thanks for standing with us. Stay safe and healthy.
