There is a stark lack of diversity in the Senate right now. Despite representing half the population, there are only 24 women in the Senate and no African American women.

If we’re going to have a government that reflects the diversity of this nation, we need to be honest about some of the reasons that it doesn’t already.

One of the biggest obstacles that African American women running for office must confront is fundraising.

In 2018, the Center for Responsive Politics’ analysis said, “The average Black female candidate raised 46 percent less than the average white male candidate, but she also raised 55 percent less than the average white female candidate.”

If you’re ready to help us change this statistic, make a $3 donation to our campaign today. We have an incredible opportunity to give North Carolina new leadership by electing Cheri, but it’s going to take each of us playing a role in this fight.

Too often the traditional gatekeepers and political establishment have doubted the ability of African American women to win.

The fact is we know not only can Cheri win, but she is Democrats’ best chance to flip this seat. She leads in every public poll of our primary and is the only Democrat who has won statewide before.

But we have to make sure our campaign has the resources necessary to compete and challenge any question of if Cheri has what it takes to win.

If you can, please consider making a $3 donation to help us make history by electing Cheri as North Carolina’s first African American Senator. Cheri has spent her career fighting for justice for the people, and we can trust her to be a voice for US in the Senate.

The obstacles we face in this campaign may be daunting at times, but together, we can overcome them and open the doors of opportunity for every North Carolinian.
