It’s been a busy day, Brandt. I only have one more thing to cross off my to-do list before logging off for the evening:

We’re reaching the last full FEC deadline of this critical election year. So, I’m personally asking if you’ll make a donation to our campaign for U.S. Senate tonight. Pitch in right here »

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

This fundraising deadline is unlike any other we have faced so far in this campaign. It will be an important test of our momentum as we head into the closing weeks of this election. Just give me a brief moment to explain:

Now that we’re just a few weeks out, every action you take will affect whether we flip the Senate or leave Washington in the hands of people like Mitch McConnell and my opponent, GOP Senator Thom Tillis.

Time and again, Tillis has proven he’s too weak to stand up for the people of North Carolina — instead, he falls in line behind Mitch McConnell every chance he gets. That’s why he’s one of the most vulnerable Republican Senators in the country. His approval ratings are consistently lower than Donald Trump’s, and the polls show our campaign ahead by a slim margin.

But Washington Republicans won’t let him lose that easily. McConnell and his rolodex of corporate megadonors are already spending more than $60 million to tear us down and keep their grip on the majority — pouring more money into our toss-up Senate race than any other one in the country, Brandt.

I’m refusing to accept a single contribution from corporate PACs, so we don’t have the special-interest backing our opponent does (and trust me, I don’t want it). We’re doing things differently, which is why I need your help.

Will you make your first donation to our campaign for U.S. Senate while your dollars can still make a difference in the outcome of this race? If you’ve been waiting for the right time to give, this is it.

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

All the polls show this race is going to come down to the wire, and every moment, every donation — no matter how small — is going to make an incredible difference in this fight. Thanks for standing with our campaign.
