Emma here, Deborah’s campaign manager.

I’ve been on the campaign trail with Deborah for a while now, so believe me when I say: this end-of-quarter deadline is a big deal.

If you missed Deborah’s email yesterday, here’s the bottom line: Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are actively attempting to dismantle our democracy, and we can't wait until 2026 to respond. We have to start building the infrastructure for a Democratic majority right now.

NC-02 is crucial in making that happen, but if we don’t hold this seat, flipping the House gets a lot harder — and so does putting a check on Trump.

That’s why this end-of-quarter is so important. We need to raise $10,000 by midnight on Monday to stay competitive. Will you chip in $10 right now?

It's Deborah.

I’ll get straight to it — our end-of-quarter deadline is just days away, and this one just might be one of the most critical deadlines of the entire election cycle.

Right now, Donald Trump and Republicans in both chambers of Congress are creating chaos across the country, chipping away at our democracy, and handing out favors to the ultra-wealthy while attacking the very programs working families across the country rely on.

This is what a Republican trifecta looks like — and it’s putting our core American values in real danger.

But here’s the good news: we’re not powerless.

We can take back the House in 2026 and put a check on Trump — and it starts right here in NC-02. That’s why I’m asking: Can you pitch in $10 right now to help defend this seat and build the infrastructure needed to win a Democratic majority in 2026?

Next November, it will be absolutely critical to protect every single Democratic seat in the House — including NC-02. If we hold it, we keep the path to a Democratic majority alive. But if we lose it? That path gets much, much steeper.

That’s why this end-of-quarter deadline matters so much. We need to show we have the grassroots strength to fight back. We’ve set a goal to raise $10,000 by midnight on Monday. Will you chip in $10 or whatever you can to help us get there?

Let’s meet this moment — together,

Deborah
