8 people from Philadelphia

  This is urgent, John: We need just 8 people from Philadelphia to add a donation before tomorrow’s midnight deadline to keep us on track for our most important FEC goal of the campaign so far. Can you rush a donation to be 1 of the 8 people we need today? North Carolina is the Democr…

Tomorrow

  John — I’m keeping this one short. Tomorrow at midnight, we’ll close the books on our mid-month fundraising deadline — and then it’s a straight shot to our FEC goal. Last quarter, we outraised our opponent 2:1, which means we want to do everything we can to keep our momentum going. …

Wanna bet?

  A few simple questions, John — Do recent polls show that this race is neck-and-neck? You bet. Are we doing everything we can to defeat Thom Tillis? You bet. Will we gather enough resources to fight back against right-wing attacks and flip the Senate in November? Well, that depends o…

First things first

  I’ll be direct, John: This Senate seat is very much “in play.” We know that Thom Tillis has not served our state. In November, we’ll replace him. Pitch in right now to help make it happen >> I’m ready to get to work in Washington to lower our health care costs, take on corrupt…

one shot

  We have 143 days to make history, John. The latest polls show our race will be a squeaker, and we know that the path to the Senate runs right through North Carolina. But Washington Republicans are pulling out all the stops to defeat us because we stand in the way of their Senate maj…

Aunt Sis

  Growing up, my Aunt Sis taught me that good listening is key to good leadership. Since we launched this campaign almost one year ago, I’ve lived by this advice, taking to heart the words of North Carolinians as they share their thoughts on what this election means for the future of …

A one-point race

  North Carolina is a “dead heat” right now, John — The latest polling shows this election is a one-point race, so we know Mitch McConnell and his corporate special interest donors are going to spend millions more to try to tear our campaign down. We can’t let them get away with it. I…

Enough

  John — The Koch network just launched a major seven-figure ad campaign to save our opponent, Thom Tillis, and to meddle in North Carolina’s Senate race. We’re not shocked. The Kochs have a long history of buying elections by spending massive amounts of money on Republicans who vote …

Re: Trump visit

  John — Donald Trump is planning to return to North Carolina for the fifth time. But before I get into it, I have to ask: Can I count on you to add a donation before Trump’s visit? We have a real opportunity to win this Senate race in North Carolina and we can’t afford to take any ch…

Really good news

Re: Trump rally in NC

  BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump just announced he’s planning to come to North Carolina for the FIFTH time to rally his base! It’s clear Thom Tillis needs his help, given how close the polls are in this race. Since Cal isn’t taking a single contribution from corporate PACs, we’re asking …

Hear me out

  I’m writing to you today to tell you a hard truth about what it will take to flip this Senate seat. Hear me out, John: North Carolina doesn’t do landslides. Two recent surveys — both done by independent, respected pollsters — say this is a one-point race. There’s no doubt in my mind…

at the dinner table

crunch time

Make your first donation to our campaign for U.S. Senate today

  John — Here’s the truth: My Republican opponent Thom Tillis has the full backing of Mitch McConnell’s megadonor network, and super PACs who can spend big to attack me and help him win. I know it, you know it, the GOP knows it — this race will determine Senate control. That’s why Was…

Your personal endorsement

  John — It’s clearer by the day that we need new leadership in the U.S. Senate. This fall, we can bring much-needed change to Washington — but to do it, we have to win in North Carolina. Together, we’re building a strong campaign that will do just that. Make no mistake, though, it is…

Wow
