John -

Politico just reported that McConnell’s super PAC Senate Leadership Fund has upped their total initial ad buy in North Carolina to $27 MILLION.

It’s the second-highest amount of ad spending anywhere in the country — a clear indication of just how competitive and important McConnell and his allies see our race.

Please donate $15 or any amount you can to my campaign and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand right now to help us prepare for the dark money that’s about to flood North Carolina. I cannot take on McConnell and his super PACs alone.

$27 million — yes, $27,000,000 — is an unprecedented investment in North Carolina from McConnell’s super PAC at this point in the cycle.

It’s even more than the Senate Leadership Fund initially booked in North Carolina in 2020. By Election Day 2020, that race became the most expensive Senate race in American history.

This is why it’s so urgent that we raise the resources right now to fight back. Every piece of data — polling, nonpartisan analysts’ rankings and now Republicans’ spending — indicates that this is going to be among the most competitive and closest races in the country.

I know firsthand just how close races in North Carolina can be. In my race for Chief Justice, it came to just 401 votes out of over 5 million — a margin of 0.007%.

Can you please make a donation to my campaign and Kirsten Gillibrand before the pre-primary FEC deadline on April 27? We urgently need your help to fight back and flip this seat.

A handful of votes could decide this race in November. So the resources we raise right now could make the difference between winning and losing on Election Day.

Thank you,

Cheri Beasley
