John, I want you to know something:

From the start, this campaign has been about you — not political insiders or mega corporations, and never about power or personal gain. At the heart of this campaign are people you know: a union worker, a single mom, a grocery clerk, and a neighbor who’s had enough. We’re caring, everyday folks who want a representative who shows up and delivers for North Carolina families.

While billionaires and special interest groups get ready to back our new opponent hand-picked by Donald Trump, we’re building something I’m really proud of: a grassroots campaign fueled by supporters like you. We don't rely on scare tactics, fake deadlines, or pressure you with gimmicks. That's not how we operate.

But today marks a real milestone: our campaign’s first Federal Election Commission end-of-quarter fundraising deadline. It's our first major test to prove the strength of this movement, and we can’t afford to fall short. A strong report sends a clear message to the press, our opponents, potential backers, and voters across the state that people-power wins when we show up.

That’s why I'm humbly asking: Can you pitch in before the end-of-quarter deadline tonight? Every single donation drives our movement forward — and your support is the proof that this campaign belongs to all of us.

Having you on this team means the world to me and drives our movement forward.

Wiley
