John,

I hope you enjoyed a joyful and restful holiday season. I was grateful for the chance to spend time with family and friends — a brief pause to reconnect with the people who matter most.

Now, as we head into the final days of 2025, there’s one critical item left on our to-do list: reaching our end-of-year FEC fundraising goal.

After December 31st, the Federal Election Commission requires campaigns to submit a public report detailing their fundraising numbers. That means we are legally required to report how much money we’ve raised, and from how many individual contributions.

These numbers will go public once filed — which means our opponents, election experts and interest groups get to take a look behind the curtain — it’s a pretty good indicator of the strength of our campaign.

And it’s our first report since our primary challenger entered the race, which makes the stakes even higher than ever.

What we raise right now will set the tone for the rest of our campaign and after taking a look at the numbers, our team set an ambitious $15,000 end-of-quarter goal.

John, elections aren't just won on Election Day. They’re won by making strategic investments right now so that we can build our voter outreach operation and reach voters in every corner of NC-04.

So what do you say, John? Will you chip in $10 or more ahead of our crucial upcoming FEC deadline to help us reach our $15,000 goal? Every dollar gets us closer to defending this seat and taking back the House.

Thank you,

Valerie Foushee
