A new poll came out this week, John, and I wanted to make sure you saw it before the holiday weekend...

The poll shows us tied with Thom Tillis 41-41% — and while we know the polls will fluctuate, it shows just how close this race will be.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: North Carolina doesn’t do landslides, John. This race will be a squeaker.

The truth is, ours is one of the closest Senate races in the country — and it will be one of the most expensive, too. When you see our campaign rise in the polls or fight back against GOP attacks, it’s all thanks to folks like you chipping in a few dollars or volunteering your time.

Every single thing you do will make the difference in the handful of votes that will decide this election. That’s why I have to ask:

Will you make a contribution of $10 or more to help our campaign keep up the momentum? We need you in this fight if we’re going to deliver real change. Click here to donate:

We cannot afford to fall even a bit short of our fundraising benchmarks when the race could swing either way.

That’s why your donation is so important right now. Thank you.
