Since launching this campaign for governor of Arkansas, thereās an important lesson Iāve learned about defying the odds. Iād like to take a moment to share that with you today.
Our campaign is a bumblebee š. What do I mean by that? When scientists first began studying the bumblebee, they looked at it in awe, because its body is really big, its wings are really tiny, and thereās no way it should be able to get off the ground. After further research, they determined in no uncertain terms that itās aerodynamically impossible for the bumblebee to fly. But I guess someone forgot to give the bumblebee the memo ā because it flies anyway. Thatās us, and thatās our campaign.
Our campaign has taught me what it really means to defy the odds. And right now weāre on the verge of making history. And your donation right now will help ensure weāre able to reach every Arkansan who hasn't voted yet today. So if youāre with me, can you please chip in $25 or anything you can to power us to victory tonight? [[link removed]]

Just like we knew that we could build a grassroots movement in Arkansas, the bumblebee intuitively knows something that it took decades for scientists to discover: their wings create a vortex to help it fly. This movement is our vortex. Itās how weāll continue defying the odds and come out victorious tonight.
Many said it was impossible for our campaign to get out of the primary because I was a first-time candidate with zero name recognition. But guess what? We won our primary with over 70% of the vote. We traveled to all 75 counties and met with countless Arkansans who desperately need their voices to be heard. And now Iām the first Black nominee for governor in Arkansas from a major party. Thatās no small feat.
Experts said it was impossible for the bumblebee to fly, but the bumblebee flew anyway. Experts said our campaign wouldnāt make it out of the primary, but we did anyway. And these same experts are still doubting our movement ā but I have news for them. Arkansans are ready to defy the odds and lead our state in a new direction. Thatās why weāve been showing up, listening to each other, and walking a mile in each othersā shoes on every last street, because we all know whatās at stake.
Weāre at a pivotal moment in history, and I know that with a massive outpouring of support we can take out movement all the way tonight. If you can, please make a $25 contribution to power this fight across the finish line. [[link removed]]
Letās win this!
