Hi, John --

Today, I announced an emergency budget supplement to help us
turn the corner on COVID-19 and invest in a stronger future
for North Carolina.

North Carolinians have stood strong during this pandemic and
we are ready to move our state forward.

The past year has tested all of us but we must work together
on a focused, responsible plan to help families and
businesses survive and grow strong while we bolster our
economy and health care system and make sure students and
teachers are in classrooms ready to learn.

That's why I need your help. Will you add your name today
and show the legislature that North Carolinians are standing
together to help put the pandemic in the rearview mirror and
thrive once again?

We must help people get vaccines, stay in their homes, put
food on the table and receive critical mental health
services.

We must continue to support our state employees working on
the frontlines of COVID-19 every day and provide relief for
small businesses.

We must extend high-speed internet to all corners of the
state and expand unemployment benefits, which are still
among the lowest in the country.

We must provide bonuses for educators and school personnel.
Educators have stepped up in extraordinary ways during this
pandemic but did not get raises the last two years.

If you agree that crucial issues like these need immediate
attention, then I hope you'll join me in my mission to
beat this pandemic and help North Carolina emerge from these
challenging times stronger than ever by adding your name:

Thanks for your continued support,
