Here’s the truth, John —

These are tough and uncertain times that demonstrate the need for strong leadership in Washington.

My team and I have spent this entire quarter running this campaign virtually. We’ve moved all of our in-person events online, we’re working from home, and we’re doing our best to keep up the energy around our campaign — even in difficult circumstances.

We simply can’t afford to let our momentum slip. And we can’t afford a slump of any kind, especially as Washington Republicans dump tens of millions of dollars into this race and wait for us to slip up to flood even more dark money into North Carolina.

Any mistake right now could jeopardize our chance to flip this seat and take back the Senate. That’s why I’m asking for your help. We are counting on a surge in small-dollar donations from folks like you to help us stay on track and hit the critical end-of-quarter FEC goal.

Can you chip in a donation of any amount that’s meaningful to you to help us report the strongest numbers possible to the FEC? Anything you can give makes a difference in our work to flip North Carolina’s Senate seat and end Mitch McConnell’s Washington majority:

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

What we report to the FEC next week, and what Washington Republicans will get to see, are not just a bunch of numbers: They’re a sign of how strong our movement to flip North Carolina really is.

This campaign has always relied on folks like you to power everything we do every step of the way. I know we can build a team strong enough to defeat Thom Tillis in November, but first, we’ve got to dip deep and reach our FEC goal next week.

If I can get just one or two more of you reading this email to add a donation to our campaign today, we’d be back on track to hit our target for the quarter in no time.

John: Can you be one of those people and make a donation of any amount toward my U.S. Senate campaign before next week’s FEC deadline?
