John -
I have a rare moment of free time this morning, and I’ve always found unscheduled time to be the best time to reflect. As I was thinking about how much grassroots supporters like you have done for our campaign, I thought I should reach out to you directly to tell you why I decided to run for Senate and why your support is so important to our success.
As Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, I saw up close how justice was too often out of reach for people. I saw the ways laws handed down by Washington leave our families behind and how the wealthy and well-connected use our broken status quo to get ahead.
The truth is Washington has failed to deliver for our families, and I knew this race was a real opportunity for North Carolinians to have a change. We need a leader in the Senate who will break through the division and gridlock to stand up for the people.
Despite winning statewide twice, I knew this race would be unlike any challenge I’d taken on before. These Senate races are just so big and expensive — and honestly, they can get nasty. I knew I’d have to lean on more folks than I ever have before for support to pull this off — especially when we’re trying to do it the right way by rejecting corporate PAC money.
Honestly, I wish what we’d already raised would be enough because I hate to ask for money. But outside groups have already spent $8 million on behalf of my opponent before a single vote has been cast, and we know there are tens of millions of dollars more headed our way.
It takes an enormous amount of resources to run a campaign that can organize and speak to the hopes and needs of voters from the mountains to the coast, rural and urban alike. But that is what it is going to take to win, so with an important fundraising deadline just days away, I need to ask:
We need leaders who will honestly serve as a voice for the people — who will fight tooth and nail to improve our lives and create a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Our children deserve nothing less.
This is why I wake up every day determined to win this race. And if you help me pull off this historic victory, this is what I pledge to do as your next Senator.
