Folks — running for Governor keeps me very busy, especially as we approach our deadline for a huge end-of-month goal.

But I am sitting in my kitchen this Sunday afternoon, taking a break from my schedule, and thinking about why I am in this race in the first place.

I am thinking about the parents I meet who are worried if their children will be safe in our public schools and if they’ll receive the sound basic education the constitution guarantees them.

I am thinking about the seniors in our state on a fixed income, terrified about rising costs and how they are going to pay their next bill.

And I am thinking about every woman in our state — whose fundamental reproductive rights now hinge on which politicians hold power in North Carolina.

And, folks, I’ve never been more determined to win this election — because we can’t let North Carolina go backwards. I refuse to let a radical Republican like Mark Robinson sit in the Governor’s office and strip away your freedoms to serve his ideological agenda.

Winning this race starts with hitting every single fundraising goal my campaign team sets. And right now, we’re still over $6,000 short with only two days left to close the gap. Please, chip in $5 before our deadline Tuesday.
