John,

It’s one thing to win a gubernatorial election. With outside spending pouring in, winning a U.S. Senate race is going to be another thing entirely – especially when you’re in a state that elected President Trump three times straight and hasn’t sent a Democrat to the Senate since 2008.

However, this isn’t just North Carolina’s fight. This seat will decide Senate control until 2029.

With less than eight weeks left until Election Day and absentee ballots already being cast, can you pitch in $5 now to help me flip the Senate for Democrats?

We’ve built a grassroots movement unlike anything ever seen in North Carolina. The New York Times is saying that our race is the best shot Democrats have to flip a red Senate seat this cycle.

And since President Trump anointed Michael Whatley of all people – a Big Oil lobbyist and MAGA loyalist – to be the GOP nominee, it’s no wonder national Republicans are terrified.

That’s why Stephen Miller, JD Vance and President Trump have all gone out of their way to publicly attack me.

That’s why dark-money groups are flooding the state with nearly $100 million so far in ads slandering me.

That’s why the Senate GOP’s top super PAC is currently spending more in North Carolina than almost anywhere else in the country to defeat me.

Since recent polls show my slim lead has shrunk down to the margin of error, it’s working.

Now, I know I ask a lot of you in these emails, but we’re in the final, most difficult stretch of the race. While they have the money, we have you – and your grassroots support is the only way I stand a chance of fighting back against the kind of Big Money that’s coming our way.

I have nowhere else to turn, John, so I hope you’ll chip in $5 or anything you can right now to help me prove that no amount of dark money can buy North Carolina’s seat.

Thanks for everything,

Roy Cooper
