I need to explain something, John.

We’re in a very strong position to win this election in November. The polls show my opponent has weak support, even in his own party, and our campaign’s message is breaking through to voters across North Carolina.

But we can’t rest — not with Mitch McConnell and his network of outside groups spending outrageous sums of money to help Thom Tillis.

I’ve seen shady right-wing groups buy too many elections in North Carolina, and I don’t want to let that happen again. Just a handful of votes will decide the outcome of our race — that’s why Washington Republicans are pouring more money into our state, to try to swing the results in their favor.

So, my team and I set an ambitious goal of collecting 50,000 individual donations before the end-of-month deadline at midnight. We are just 5,318 gifts away from reaching our target. Can I count on you to help us get there? Every penny counts.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Chip in $10 now Chip in $25 now

Chip in $50 now Chip in $100 now

Chip in $250 now Another Amount

Your donation of $10 or more could be the difference between allowing Mitch McConnell’s mega-donor network to buy this election out from under us — or you could help secure our victory and flip the Senate majority.

Now is the time for progress on health care, education, on our economy, our environment, gun violence, and so much more. Let’s win this election and get to work.

Thanks for standing with me.
