John --
In just a moment, I am going to ask you to make a contribution to my campaign for United States Senate in North Carolina. Let me explain why this request is so important:
The key to flipping North Carolina blue and bringing Democrats closer to Senate control is an incredible team of supporters like you jumping into action day in and day out.
The truth is, I wouldn’t be able to do this without you, which is why I’m turning to you for help today.
The end of this month will mark our most important FEC deadline of the year. And tonight at midnight, we will have one week under our belts as we try to hit our target and post the strongest numbers possible.
With Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight listing Thom Tillis as the third most vulnerable Republican Senator in the country and a string of polls showing us defeating him, I know we have what it takes to win this race. But we have to reach every single fundraising goal if we want to do it.
Our opponent may be relying on big donations from corporate PACs and right-wing billionaires, but I’m relying on you. Not corporate PACs or shady GOP mega-donors. That’s why I’m asking:
Can I count on you to give anything you can before midnight so we can hit our target for the week and stay on track for our FEC goal? This race is critical to taking back the Senate. Democrats can’t win back control without North Carolina.
Our team is putting together a long-term strategy to build a winning campaign -- and we’re doing it the right way, without relying on corporate PACs. That’s because this campaign is about you and who will best represent your interests.
Like me, I know you believe it’s time to take on the political corruption and gridlock in Washington. I hope we can count on you to help us do it and give North Carolinians an independent voice in the Senate.
I couldn’t be more proud to have you on our team. Thanks for reading.
