Despite a baked-in Republican advantage due to gerrymandering, the latest poll has the NC special election race TIED!!!
PFAW Member -- The special election in North Carolina is JUST ONE MONTH away and it's being seen as a referendum on Trump and Republicans ... Victory in NC could set the stage for a 2020 blue wave!!!
Make no mistake -- this is an uphill battle. Trump won this district in 2016 by 12 points and while polls have been tight (with the latest poll showing the race tied), most polling has shown Republican Dan Bishop with an advantage.
But that's where you and PFAW come in. Our new ad that we're producing right now is a Spanish-language ad targeting Latino voters -- who make up 4.9% of eligible voters in the district. That's roughly 27,000 voters -- compare that to the 905 votes Democrat Dan McCready fell short by in 2016 when the Republican in the race cheated! -- and is enough to tip the election if it's as close as polls indicate!
North Carolina is also a 2020 target state for both the presidential race and the U.S. Senate (with Republican Sen. Thom Tillis up for reelection), so building out our reach in this critical battleground state is vitally important. And our team is also working to mobilize the progressive vote in NC-9 in other ways beyond ads.
Winning this special election would help preserve the Democratic House majority and deal Trump an early, embarrassing defeat that could give progressives amazing momentum heading into 2020.

Republicans are worried -- they just sent Vice President Mike Pence to North Carolina to campaign for extreme right-winger Dan Bishop, the Republican in the race.
Bishop is the right-wing extremist state legislator who authored North Carolina’s nationally infamous – and incredibly bigoted – transgender bathroom ban! And he is running heavily on his support of Trump.
We need to fight back and do everything we can to defeat radical Trump Republican Dan Bishop -- that's why we're deploying our proven electoral programs to mobilize voters in the district and flip this crucial seat!
Bishop's Democratic opponent, Dan McCready, a solar power entrepreneur who is not accepting corporate PAC money, came within just 905 votes of winning this seat in 2018 in an election where the results were thrown out because the Republican candidate got caught cheating!
Now, the NRA and other right-wing interests are spending big to smear McCready and elect Bishop to help carry out Trump's agenda. So it's going to take the grassroots support of progressives like you from all around the country to help us get out the vote in this flippable district.
