John -- did you catch our message yesterday?
A third poll in a row shows us beating Republican Senator Thom Tillis in a general election, reinforcing my belief that we can win this race if we come together and do the hard work.
But as The Hill reported yesterday, “The poll is the latest sign that North Carolina’s Senate race may end up being one of the most contested of the 2020 cycle.” So, I’m asking:
Will you add a grassroots donation of $10 or more to ensure we keep our momentum going strong in the weeks and months ahead? Every dollar makes a difference in our race for U.S. Senate and will allow us to carry our message out to the people of North Carolina.

Moments ago, a new poll was released in our race for U.S. Senate in North Carolina.
Cal Cunningham (D): 45%
Thom Tillis (R): 43%
Here are two quick things you need to know about these numbers:
- Tillis is vulnerable. That’s why he’s going on air this early with a $2.2 million ad buy to shore up his base. He’s struggling to win a Republican primary, much less a general election.
- Cal can win this race. The last three public polls show us beating Tillis. But the strength and stability of our movement will be measured by how you respond right now.
This Senate seat is up for grabs, John — and these numbers prove what we’ve been saying all along: Cal has what it takes to flip this seat blue and bring Democrats one step closer to taking control of the Senate. But he needs your help.
Add a grassroots contribution of $10 or more to Cal Cunningham’s campaign for U.S. Senate in North Carolina. He’s defeating Republican Thom Tillis in the polls and, with your help, we can build a movement that is powerful enough to win.
We have real momentum in this race: We see it in the polls, the press, the energy on the ground, and even in the actions of our opponent and the dark money network backing him. But we must grow and sustain that momentum to win.
Since Cal isn’t taking money from corporate PACs, our campaign relies on contributions from folks like you to give us a fighting chance.
Counting on you.
