Asking

  John — I’m about to ask if you’ll consider chipping in to help us hit our mid-month online fundraising goal. In these past few weeks, we’ve seen how close our Senate race in North Carolina really is — and it just goes to show how important it is for us to hit every goal to stay on t…

We need your support (unless you’re a corporate PAC)

  John — When Cal Cunningham is elected to the U.S. Senate, his top priorities will be tackling the rampant corruption in Washington, restoring our democracy, and reforming our political system so it works for everyone. From the U.S. Army Reserve to the State Senate, Cal has a long re…

Getting money out of politics

  John — Too many Washington politicians answer to the special interests filling their campaign coffers instead of the folks who voted them into office. That’s why Cal just released a detailed plan highlighting what he’ll do in the U.S. Senate to reform our system and fight this kind …

Re: Kentucky

  John, Last night, Kentucky elected a Democratic governor -- unseating an unpopular incumbent Republican fully backed by Donald Trump. Sound like a few other folks we know? I’m talking about Mitch McConnell and Thom Tillis. They’re also historically unpopular, polling within single d…

Did you catch this?

  Did you catch this, John? Roll Call just listed our Republican opponent, Thom Tillis, among the top three most vulnerable GOP Senators on its “10 Most Vulnerable Senators in 2020” list. That’s huge news. Tillis is weak, and he’s been burning his cash on hand to win his own primary a…

Tonight’s deadline

  Consider this, John -- Independent polls of this Senate race show Cal Cunningham beating Thom Tillis in this election by single digits. Fundraising reports show our campaign matching Tillis’ fundraising -- and we do it without massive checks from corporate PACs. Tillis is so weak th…

Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight reports:

  John, here’s the good news: Democrats can flip North Carolina blue and take back the Senate. Don’t believe me? The proof is in the numbers... Three consecutive polls show Cal defeating Thom Tillis in our race. Two major election forecasters rated our race a “toss-up.” And our fundra…

McConnell is gearing up to attack our campaign

  John -- We’ve come a long way in just a few months -- and now, three consecutive public polls have put us ahead of our opponent, Republican Senator Thom Tillis. We’ve only been able to make it this far because a whole lot of folks just like you have stepped up for our campaign. Sinc…

Asking for $4

Whoa

Three things
