John,

We made it to the weekend! While I will continue to work hard on the campaign trail and meet with voters across the district, I am also looking forward to spending time with my grandson, Stanley III.

I hope you get some time to relax and refresh this weekend. And most of all, I hope you stay safe as we deal with winter weather here in North Carolina. But before you sign off of email for the weekend, will you please consider contributing to my campaign for Congress?

This is a grassroots campaign, and we rely on small-dollar donations to power us forward. I am amazed by how much progress we’ve made in the months since we launched this race — it’s an honor to see how our movement has grown.

But we have plenty of work to do if we want to win this race, and that’s why I need your support. Even a $5 donation gives us the resources we need to reach more voters. So please, will you chip in what you can now?

I’m in this race because I believe it’s time to put the people ahead of the politics and take away the bitterness from the word compromise.

I’m in this race because I know that I can make a positive difference for my community. And if you believe so too, I hope you’ll consider donating to my campaign.

Have a relaxing and safe weekend,
