Political experts widely agree this is the most competitive Governor’s race this election cycle. Friends, I’m writing today with updates from the campaign trail, important news coming out of North Carolina (like how recent polling shows our campaign in a DEAD HEAT!), and appeals for a contribution to our campaign. [And yes, this email will ask you to donate at the end.

My name is Josh Stein. I am a father, a husband, a proud North Carolinian, and the current Attorney General of our state. And I am running for Governor of North Carolina. For the past six and a half years as your Attorney General, I’ve taken on big fights for the people of North Carolina and won. I’ve worked hard to keep families safe, hold corporate wrongdoers accountable for the damage they’ve done to our people, make polluters pay to clean up the messes they make and defend your reproductive and voting rights. I’ve stood up to the radical right who are trying to take away our freedoms. Because the bottom line is this: North Carolina is a great place to live – and we must do everything we can to protect the state we love and the people who live here. Now, I am running for Governor of North Carolina because we’re facing a real threat. My opponent Mark Robinson is a MAGA extremist who wants to tell you who you can love … and who you should hate. Despite how wrong Robinson is for our state, we’re in a statistical dead heat in the polls. We always knew this race would be a close one — statewide races in North Carolina always are. My team set a $120,000 online goal for this month, and hitting this number is crucial to our efforts to fight back against extremism in our state and win this election. [Today, I am asking for your help to hit my fundraising target and stay on track to hit my online goal.

Thank you, Josh Stein  314 Action is the only national organization working to elect Democrats with backgrounds in science and medicine at ALL levels of government – from the Senate down to local school boards. Since 2017, we’ve supported more than 500+ candidates and reached millions of swing voters on their behalf with our data-driven messaging campaigns. Our candidates led the charge to flip the House in 2018, the Senate in 2021, and a handful of state legislatures in 2022. Now, there are more scientists in office than at any point in U.S. history. No one is better equipped to craft policy to address pressing issues like gun violence, climate change, healthcare reform, or restoring reproductive rights than scientific professionals. Recent polling confirms that scientific and medical professionals have some of the highest approval ratings and levels of trust among voters – Meaning our candidates are better positioned to win tough races and can cut through the partisan divide! 100% of our work is powered by individual donations and our average donation is just $19. We plan on supporting more Democratic scientists and medical professionals in virtually every state this election cycle than at any point in our history. With you by our side, we’ll defend our Senate majority, retake the House, keep the White House blue, and elect a historic wave of Democrats to state legislatures and local office.
