Brandt —

Tonight is my second official debate against Thom Tillis, and a critical moment in our campaign, especially given the attention our race has received following this weekend’s news.

I intend to stand tall and talk about bringing people together to tackle political corruption, put the interests of North Carolinians first, and finally make meaningful progress on critical issues like health care and the economy.

But first, we need to make sure our campaign is on pace to reach our fundraising goal before the last full FEC deadline of this election. Today, I’m setting a goal of 10,000 individual donations before I take the debate stage. Can I count on you to contribute to our campaign right now?

The people of North Carolina are going to see two very different candidates on stage tonight during the debate.

One is my opponent, Thom Tillis — a failed Washington politician who will never stand up to bullies like Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell, and who will always side with corporate interests over the people of North Carolina.

The other is me. Someone who refuses to take a single donation from corporate PACs, has taken on political corruption, served our country in the military, and is ready to do what’s right to create progress regardless of partisan politics.

Tonight’s debate is a big opportunity for our team, and I’m ready. Can I count on you to make sure our campaign is ready for the days ahead by chipping in whatever you can today?

I’ll check in again later today. Thanks so much.
