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 extraordinarily important moment for our campaign, which is why I’m reaching out. Let me explain:

North Carolina doesn’t do landslides. Recent polling has us locked in a tight race with Thom Tillis — showing our campaign either tied with our opponent, within the margin of error, or ahead by just a few points.

That’s why Senate Republicans are spending millions running new, misleading ads against me. It’s no coincidence these new attacks come right on the heels of polling numbers that prove Tillis is vulnerable in this race.

They know if we win this election, we could end Mitch McConnell’s Senate majority for good. But there’s no doubt in my mind this race will be a squeaker, which means everything we do right now will make a tremendous difference in the final outcome.

John, experts believe North Carolina will be the most expensive Senate race in the country, and McConnell’s corporate donor network is already spending whatever it takes to tear me down and blunt our campaign’s momentum.

The stakes could not be higher: Democrats cannot flip the Senate without winning this race. And we cannot win without a lot of small-dollar donations from folks like you giving whatever you can to help us fight back.

I’m personally asking you to make a contribution of any amount before our mid-month fundraising deadline. This race is a toss-up and everything we do at this very moment will matter, especially as Senate Republicans and corporate special interests ramp up their attacks on us. You can donate right here:
