Folks, we’ll be blunt. In a moment, we’re going to ask you for $5. But first, here are three things you need to know:

• New polling shows us within a single digit margin of our Republican opponent Chuck Edwards. This race is winnable and we need to continue connecting with voters from now until November.
• Edwards is anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ+, and won his primary with the help of $1.4 million in dark money from special interests. He doesn’t represent Western North Carolina values, and we’re going to defeat him.
• Jasmine faces her first FEC deadline this month since securing NC-11’s Democratic nomination and we’re falling short of reaching our goal. If we don’t catch up soon, we’ll have to take a hard look at our budget and make adjustments to our campaign strategy.

However, if everyone reading this email right now chipped in as little as $5 today, we’d close the fundraising gap in no time. So, we have to ask: will you chip in $5?

Together, we can prove that politics based on empathy, love, and hope isn’t just about the values we truly hold – it’s also how we win and how we find our way forward together.
