John –

In just 24 hours, we’re going to close the books on our first fundraising deadline of 2020. I don’t say this lightly, but it’s our most important deadline of the campaign so far.

Now, here’s the hard truth: we’re a little bit behind on the goals that will allow us to run the kind of campaign it will take to give Mitch McConnell and Thom Tillis’ dark money network a run for their money.

We only have until midnight tomorrow to catch up, and the only way we can is if as many folks like you as possible give whatever they can afford to make a meaningful difference ahead of this critical deadline. So, I’m asking:

Can I count on you to add a donation of $10 or more to our campaign before tomorrow’s first fundraising deadline of 2020? Last year flew by, which means Election Day will be here before you know it — let’s make sure we’re in a strong financial position when it does. Donate today.

I don’t have a gaggle of wealthy billionaires behind me, cutting campaign checks in exchange for favors — because they know I refuse to work for them. That’s why I’m not taking a single donation from corporate PACs in this campaign.

I’m trying to do right by all the working people in North Carolina who deserve a voice in Washington. And I have something more powerful in my corner: folks like you, pitching in whatever you can, whenever you can.

That’s real political power, and it’s what will get us over the finish line next November. Thanks for everything.
