Hey, John – Roy here. I just wanted to follow up on our weekly goal: We’re still a bit short, so I’m hoping we see an uptick over the next 24 hours or so.

With Senate control at stake here in North Carolina, President Trump, JD Vance and Stephen Miller have all been coming after me with baseless attacks. Even worse, recent polling shows my lead shrinking. We can fight back and surge ahead, but only if we reach every grassroots fundraising goal from here on out.

If you’ve been waiting to make your first donation to help us win this race, now is the time. Please use this link to chip in $5 – or any amount – right away: https://actblue.com/donate

Thank you again, John.

Subject: Every day brings a new GOP attack

John, I’ve won some of the toughest political fights here in North Carolina – but right now, I’m very concerned.

This race is the best chance in the country for Democrats to flip a Republican-held seat, and we have to win here to have any shot at taking back the Senate.

That’s why Republicans are doing everything in their power to defeat me: JD Vance came to North Carolina to spread lies about me, President Trump has publicly attacked me, Michael Whatley launched attack ads to distort my record and dark-money super PACs are spending nearly $100 million so far to crush our momentum.

Unfortunately, their plan is working: Grassroots donations are slowing – right as a recent poll shows my slim lead cut by nearly half.

To fight back, my team has set a $674,000 grassroots fundraising goal for this week. It’s ambitious – but if we don’t get back on track, we risk being drowned out by GOP dark money for good.

Every new day brings a new GOP attack, and I cannot face this onslaught alone. I need people like you by my side. Will you chip in $5, or whatever amount you can, to help us meet this week’s fundraising goal, flip North Carolina blue and take back the Senate for Democrats?

Thank you,

Roy Cooper
