It’s simple, Brandt: North Carolina is the tipping point state in this election.

Washington Republicans understand this, which is why they’re spending millions of dollars on attack ads against me. If I win, Democrats take back the Senate, and we prove that this people-powered campaign is stronger than Mitch McConnell’s dark money machine.

But here’s the thing: I’m looking at our end-of-month fundraising numbers, and I know how critical it is that we meet our goal. Our race is neck-and-neck, and we expect the polls to tighten as Election Day nears.

This is anticipated to be the most expensive Senate race in history, which means we need significant resources to keep our operation strong. Can I count on you to pitch in today? Our end-of-month goal matters, and if we don’t reach it, we’ll be behind on our fundraising in the closing months of this election.

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

Securing a Democratic Senate has never been more important. Our country is at an inflection point, and if we’re going to move the nation forward to increase opportunities and equality for all, we need to act now.

That’s why I hope you’ll take a moment to make a donation. Let’s end this month on a high note, prepared to respond to whatever lies Mitch McConnell and his allies send our way.
