Friends -

I’ve spent my life in service to North Carolina, and after a great deal of consideration and encouragement from people across our state, I feel called to serve again:

I have decided to run for the United States Senate.

I’m asking you to personally endorse my campaign for U.S. Senate in North Carolina. Your support today will help us start strong.

My mother taught me that no door of opportunity should ever be closed to me, and with hard work, determination and faith, I could accomplish anything. These are the lessons that have carried me through every step of my career. In 2019, I made history as the first Black woman to serve as Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court.

But for too many families across North Carolina, the doors of opportunity have been closed. They’ve been left behind and ignored for too long.

Too often Washington only responds to the well connected, and as we come out of this pandemic, now more than ever, that needs to end. North Carolina needs a voice for the people in the Senate — not someone who is beholden to corporate interests or an unjust status quo.

Together, we can tackle our biggest challenges and make real progress on health care, climate change, economic and racial inequality, and more. I believe our young people deserve a bright future, and it is our responsibility to deliver.

There’s no doubt this will be a tough fight. That does not scare me, but I cannot do it alone. Together, we’ve won statewide twice, and if you’re with us in this one, we will build a people-powered campaign and win.

Will you personally endorse my campaign for the United States Senate in North Carolina? This is going to be a true grassroots, bottom-up campaign, so it’s important that you make your voice heard.

Thank you, and I hope you’ll join us.

If I have the honor of serving as your Senator, I’ll fight to ensure that no door is closed for anyone in North Carolina.
