First, multiple public polls showed our campaign tied or ahead of our opponent in this election, Republican Senator Thom Tillis.

Then, GOP groups fueled by Mitch McConnell and the Koch family started spending outrageous sums of money on ads -- and an analysis of the race said it would be “one of the most expensive in the country.”

Now, our campaign is in a position to flip this Senate seat and put Democrats a step closer to taking back the majority.

But, our fundraising has slowed down. December is a tough month for fundraising, and we’re trying to stay on pace to reach our goal before the FEC reporting deadline this month.

So, we’re asking as many supporters as possible to step up for our campaign. We’ve set a goal to raise $25,000 this week to get back on track. Add a contribution of $10 (or more) to our campaign today and help us flip this Senate seat.

The truth is, we hit the ground running and started strong in this race -- and we cannot afford to slow down now. Tillis, McConnell, the Koch network, and more intend to spend millions to buy this election. We can’t let them.

Thanks for stepping up today.
