John, I needed to reach out with a critical update:

With experts saying the path to Senate control runs through North Carolina, President Trump’s personal super PAC has officially gotten involved in this race – all to defeat me and prop up my GOP opponent, Michael Whatley.

That’s why I’m asking you to make your first donation to my campaign – right here, right now. If that’s all you need to hear, you can click this ActBlue link to send me $5 or whatever you can spare.

Otherwise, let me explain why your support is so important today.

By giving $5, you’ll join the hundreds of thousands of people who have pitched in to claim a stake in our grassroots movement.

By giving $5, you’ll be saying that you refuse to let the GOP dark-money machine buy this seat for President Trump’s handpicked candidate, former Big Oil lobbyist and ultimate DC insider Michael Whatley.

By giving $5, you’ll help us reach our $25,000 daily fundraising goal for emails like this.

This number isn’t arbitrary, John – it’s what my team has calculated we need to raise before midnight to keep pace with the GOP’s spending. If we fall short, we could be putting our chances of flipping this seat on Nov. 3 in real jeopardy.

I know that not everyone can donate to every message we send, but given the stakes of this race – and the recent news of President Trump’s spending here – I’m hoping you’ll chip in to this one.

Will you chip in your first contribution of $5 to help us meet our critical fundraising target, win in North Carolina and take back the Senate for Democrats?

Thank you,

Roy Cooper
