Hey friend,

I’ve worked every day to fight for a better life for eastern North Carolinians. But, I need you to know that I’m facing an uphill battle with the GOP in 2026. Here are 3 numbers I want you to know:

6,000 VOTES
That’s how many votes I won my re-election by – a narrow victory in the closest (and most expensive) race in North Carolina. In 2026, my Republican opponents will be coming back with vengeance, which is why we need to build an army of grassroots donors like you right now.

$4.7 MILLION
That’s how much my Republican opponent poured in to unseat me in 2024. Although the attack failed, my Republican opponent has already raised over $2 million to attempt to flip this seat red in 2026. They won’t stop, but neither will we: Can I count on you to join this fight and keep this critical seat blue?

$5,000
We set a $5,000 mid-month goal to push back against these attacks. Grassroots supporters like you made the difference in this race in 2024, which is why I’m asking you now to chip in to help keep NC-01 blue and ensure I have the resources to fight back.

As a veteran, educator, minister, and dedicated public servant, North Carolinian families know that I will always fight for the issues that matter most to our community. Friend, they won’t stop, but neither will we: Can you chip in now to my race & help keep this seat blue?
