I’ve worked on plenty of campaigns before this one, and let me tell you — public fundraising deadlines are always stressful.
We set our own goals, so if we fail to meet them before the numbers go public, we could see momentum seriously slip.
The GOP would take that as a sign of weakness right as we enter the general election stage of this campaign.
Meanwhile, we plan our budget carefully. Any shortfall means we really do have to make cuts to our plans for campaigning across NC — cuts that could set us back in a race this close.
