I know these are challenging and uncertain times, John. This is a moment that underscores the need for strong leadership in Washington. With that in mind, I hope you will give me a minute to explain why it’s so important we flip this U.S. Senate seat — and why it’s crucial that we work together to do it.

You may not know this, but the majority of our contributions come from folks (like you!) making small-dollar donations, like $4 or $10. And our average online gift this year is just $23.43.

That says a lot about the campaign we’re building, John. We are doing this thing the right way — unlike our Republican opponent, Thom Tillis, who is backed by corporate special interests.

As you may already know, many of the polls in this race show a toss-up or have us ahead by a single point. This is what happens when you run a campaign of the people, by the people, and for the people.

We’ve come a long way since we began this journey together. Your support is the primary reason we’re in a position to finally elect an independent-minded leader to the U.S. Senate who will fight for us — not the corrupt Washington establishment.

So, I’m hoping you would consider adding a donation to my campaign for U.S. Senate today. If you can, please donate here:

There are a lot of important Senate races this year, but few are more competitive than our campaign against Tillis. In fact, we’re on track to be the most expensive one in the nation. But I know this incredible team has what it takes to match them dollar for dollar, that’s why Washington Republicans are taking us so seriously.

Thanks in advance for chipping in, especially during this difficult time. I’m so thankful that you’re a part of this team as we work to flip this seat.

All my best,

— Cal
