John, it's Valerie Foushee. In a moment, I’m going to ask you to contribute $10 toward my reelection campaign, but first, I want to explain why I’m asking for your support right now.

There’s been an important development in our race and I wanted to share the latest with you: We have a primary challenger.

Throughout my years in public service, I’ve faced every challenge with the same approach: show up, do the work, and stay focused on delivering real results for North Carolina. That commitment is the foundation of everything I’ve done, and it remains unchanged.

Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about me or anyone else in this race. It’s about the people of North Carolina. Leadership starts with showing up for the people who place their trust in you.

This new challenge in this race is a reminder of what’s at stake and why the work ahead matters. It also underscores how important it is to stay grounded in the principles that have guided me from the beginning. These are difficult times but your belief in what we’re fighting for keeps us moving forward.

At the end of the month we’ll face our end-of-quarter FEC reporting deadline, and we need to put up a strong report to show that we’re not going anywhere.

These next few months will bring significant challenges, but knowing this team is standing strong behind us gives me tremendous hope for what we can accomplish together. Can I count on your support today?

Thank you for showing up, for believing in this work, and for helping keep us on track as we move into a pivotal year.

Valerie Foushee
