Hey John, this is the last time you’ll hear from us this year, so we’ll keep this message incredibly short and let you get on with your celebrations.

In a few hours, we’ll not only ring in the new year — but we’ll also close the books on the most important FEC filing deadline we’ve faced so far. It’s the last one before we head into an election year, so we need to reach our goal.

It’s important you know that everyone — from our opponent, Thom Tillis, to Mitch McConnell’s super PAC network and the cable news pundits — will see our numbers after this FEC deadline passes.

That’s why we’re turning to you one last time:

We need to make a bold statement about the strength of this team as we kick into high gear in 2020. So, we’re asking: will you add one more donation of $10 or whatever you can afford to our campaign before midnight?

It’s clear that our campaign is in a strong position to flip North Carolina blue — and with it, we could take the Senate! — because folks are ready for a change.

Your support is the reason we will win. The more donations we report, the stronger our campaign will look, which means our race will be taken more seriously than ever. That’s why this last request is so important.

Thanks for all you’ve done to make this campaign so successful. Happy New Year!

— Team Cal
