What a wonderful surprise, Brandt.

Last night, my team let me know just how many of you chipped in for my birthday. I want you to know your contributions mean the world to me, and reminded me of how lucky I am to have such a strong, enthusiastic team.

I’m so thankful for all the folks who joined us in celebrating — whether you sent a nice note, shared some kind wishes on a virtual event yesterday, or spread the word about our campaign to your loved ones. I have a good feeling about the year ahead — all because of supporters like you.

But before we look too far ahead, I have one more request for you.

Mitch McConnell’s super PAC just announced another $2.6 million in North Carolina’s Senate race and I have a feeling they’re nowhere near being done. Can I count on you to chip in a donation right now to help fight back?

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

Thanks again for everything.
