Brandt,

With the long weekend over, my team and I are throwing ourselves into the most intense weeks of the campaign. We’re sprinting at full-speed to finalize our investments, reach voters, and make sure folks across the state have a plan to make their voices heard in this election.

I can’t believe we’re already at this point.

I entered this race last June because North Carolina is my home. It's where I was born and raised, and from my early days growing up in Lexington, I’ve always been proud to be from a state that contributes so much to our country.

But for six years, I’ve seen our state suffer because of Thom Tillis’ inaction in Washington. His weak leadership has affected folks across North Carolina — workers and parents, students and retirees.

With so much riding on this election, we can’t afford to come up short in the weeks that matter most. That’s why we’ve set a goal of raising $25,000 in 24 hours. This is one of our last opportunities to get ahead as voters begin to receive their mail-in ballots, so I hope you’ll chip in to help:

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

Thom Tillis has spent his time in office prioritizing corporate special interest donors. I refuse to play that game — I’m not accepting a single contribution from corporate PACs.

And as we finalize our budget, I would love for our team to be able to say that we reached our goal thanks to people like you — chipping in a few hard-earned dollars at a time because you believe in the work we’re doing together.

I love this state. It’s where I was raised, it’s where I was educated, and I’m so proud that my children can say the same. Serving North Carolina in the U.S. Senate will be one of the greatest honors of my life.

Thank you for all you’re doing to help make that a reality.

— Cal
