It’s been a long week already, so we’ll keep this email short, Brandt.

Poll after poll shows us either within the margin of error or narrowly ahead of Thom Tillis. Even Washington Republicans think it’ll be tough for them to hold on to this crucial Senate seat — even saying in a memo this week that "North Carolina will be a knife fight in a phone booth." Yikes!

But Mitch McConnell and his ilk are plotting ways to defeat us, including flooding the airwaves with a smear campaign against Cal. We have to fight back against these false attacks quickly.

Can you rush a donation of $5 (or more!) to help us build our resources and respond to McConnell’s next round of attacks? We need to stay strong from now until Election Day to win this race:

Let's vote him out in November. Thanks for all you’re doing.
