I’m back on the road. As I write this, I’m heading from North Carolina to Missouri to continue my effort to hold town halls in Republican districts.

Last night, Rep. Maxwell Frost and NC Dems Chair Anderson Clayton joined me for a packed house in Saxapahaw. It’s a rural part of the state — the kind of place where Democrats haven’t historically spent enough time but where we need to close our margins.

But the reality is that plenty of people here share our values and oppose the corruption and billionaire takeover in Washington. The demand was off the charts. We could’ve filled the room at least three times over.

This town hall had an additional layer of significance because of who the incumbent Republican is. This town hall was in Richard Hudson’s backyard. He is the chair of House Republicans’ campaign arm — the one who told Republicans to stop holding town halls in March.

Well, his constituents are furious. Like so many people, they’re worried about what’s happening and don’t feel like their elected official cares about them or fights for their community.

But I also know that everybody at that town hall made clear that they are going to stay engaged. They are a part of this opposition movement we’re building together, and they’re going to make Republicans feel the heat in their own backyard.

It’s the kind of on-the-ground mobilization that matters if we are going to end this constitutional crisis, stop the giveaway to billionaires and corporations and preserve democracy.

I’ll be in Missouri soon for a similar event. Once again, we found the biggest venue available, and we still expect a huge overflow crowd. What we’re doing is working. None of us is in this fight alone.

But we can’t let up for a second. It’s a moment we’re going to look back and have to ask ourselves what we did. I promise you that I’ll continue to give it my all.

If you are with me, I hope you’ll consider helping us fund this work. It requires significant resources to travel and mass mobilize people.

So please, if you can afford it — and only if you can afford it, make a contribution today to help me keep doing town halls and build an effective grassroots opposition to Trump and Musk. Anything helps. Even $1 is a powerful way to send a message that you are in this fight with me.

Thank you for all you’re doing. It means the world to me that you’re a part of this movement.

Every best wish,

Chris Murphy
