Friend —

Our country is at a crossroads — and as I’ve met with North Carolinians this year, many across our state have asked me to consider running for United States Senate. I’ve decided to answer that call to serve and enter this race, and I’m reaching out to you today because I’m hoping you’ll help me do it.

If you’re ready to cut to the chase and pledge your support to my campaign for U.S. Senate, add your name here now to say you’re with me >>

I was born and raised in North Carolina, so I understand the challenges and opportunities our state faces every day — I’ve lived them my whole life.

I was called to serve our state early in my life and was one of the youngest elected state senators in North Carolina at the age of 27. While in office, I fought hard for critical education priorities like smaller class sizes, teacher pay increases, and better funding for our universities and community colleges. I was also a leading advocate for landmark clean air legislation, land preservation efforts, and campaign finance reform.

After 9/11, I volunteered to join the Army Reserves and served three active duty tours, including overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan — only to come home and see our democracy and our voting rights under attack right here in North Carolina.

I’ve been fighting my whole life to move our state and our country forward, and I’m not about to stop now. So I’m running for U.S. Senate. But this is going to be a tough race, and we know the other side is going to rally hard to protect this seat. I’m going to need you on my side every step of the way.

If you’re ready to get down to the important work of building a North Carolina that our friends, neighbors, and families deserve, click here to add your name and pledge your support right now.

We can create incredible change, but only if we work together. It won’t be easy, and the hard work has to start right now. But I’m ready if you are, friend. Add your name below if I can count on you to join me today:

Thanks for being a part of our team and thanks for fighting with me.
