It’s official. I’m running against Trump’s hand-picked candidate.

The Republican primary has been called, and our opponent is Trump-endorsed Congressman, Ted Budd. I’ll tell you more about his radical and harmful agenda in a moment, but with the general election officially underway, I need to ask for your immediate support to start strong. [If you can, please split a $10 donation between our campaign and The Collective PAC right now to become a Founding General Election Donor and flip this seat.]( Look, there’s a reason that this was one of the first Senate races Donald Trump got involved in this cycle. Ted Budd was one of Trump’s first endorsements because he’s proven himself a loyal foot soldier. Ted Budd pushed Trump’s Big Lie and voted to overturn the election on January 6. He wants to ban abortions — even for cases of rape, incest or where the mother’s life is at risk. He voted against the bipartisan infrastructure plan and sided with Big Pharma by voting against legislation to lower prescription drug prices. And he believes in tax cuts for big corporations and oil companies already making record profits paid for by us, while our families struggle with higher costs. Ted Budd is a DC insider who looks out for himself and the big corporations and special interests who fund his campaigns, not North Carolina. He must be stopped, and right now, the latest polling shows us tied at 45%. The Senate majority could come down to a handful of votes in this race, and we’re counting on a lot of grassroots support to make sure we have the resources to win.
