Real quick, John --

Let’s summarize what’s going on in this race:

• Three consecutive polls have shown us winning this race, which has left Republicans in Washington running scared.


• Mitch McConnell’s dark money network poured money into North Carolina to prop up our Republican opponent and defeat us.


• Senator Thom Tillis is burning through his cash on hand ($2.2 million!) as he struggles to win a GOP primary.

It’s a lot to process. It’s clear this race is winnable, and Republicans are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at North Carolina. It’s wild.

But we’ve been able to hold our own, thanks to supporters like you -- pitching in whatever you can afford to help us fight for North Carolina families.

We need your help to continue to do that. We have a big FEC deadline coming up on Monday. Can Cal count on you to add a gift of $10 or more to our campaign? You can donate right here:

Since we launched this campaign, we’ve been running it the right way -- refusing to take a single dime from corporate PACs and relying on donors like you.

As this race ramps up, we’ll need your support to continue doing that more than ever. That’s why your donation matters so much right now.

Thanks for all you do.

— Team Cal
