Dan McCready’s running a great campaign in North Carolina’s 9th, team. I’m about to ask you to chip in a split donation between our campaigns. Just please let me explain why first: 

As a Marine, Dan’s commitment to public service is unimpeachable. You certainly can’t say the same for his opponents: North Carolina Republicans committed election fraud to keep him from flipping this seat last year. That’s why they’re having this special election on Tuesday!

That’s also a big part of why Dan winning this election is so important: He needs Democrats across the country to band together and help him prove that the blue wave from 2018 is still going strong. 

So, will you chip in now to help him do just that -- and help me do my part for more Democrats in key races across the country? You can donate here: secure.actblue.com/donate/connolly_mccready

Here’s the other reason why this is so important: Dan would be a really great Congressman -- and an incredible ally for the issues we care about in Congress. But he’s up against some big enemies with deep pockets.

Dan’s running to lower prescription drug and healthcare costs, cut middle-class taxes, and strengthen public schools.

His opponent, meanwhile, will be another rubber stamp for the Trump agenda -- and his friends with deep pockets full of dark money will spend lavishly to try to hold onto this seat.

In these final days before the polls open, Dan needs our help more than ever to go toe-to-toe with the GOP’s dark-money establishment and match them dollar-for-dollar.

And that’s where you come in, friends: Will you help me answer Dan’s call for help, and keep fighting for more great Democrats like him, up and down the ballot, from coast to coast?

Thanks for your help -- I know I can always count on you to come through!
