PFAW Member —
The Special Congressional Election in North Carolina is coming down to the wire and Donald Trump is headed down to campaign and get out the right-wing vote for Republican Dan Bishop!
We're on the air and online with targeted ads to turn out the progressive and Latino voters who could make the deciding difference in this incredibly tight race!!!
But we need to raise another $3,788 by midnight TONIGHT to make our budget for this campaign.

"POLITICO Playbook: Trump heads into buzzsaw in North Carolina" "[The] special election in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District is truly a squeaker. Internal Republican polling has shown GOP candidate DAN BISHOP anywhere from 2 points to 4 points ahead of Democrat DAN MCCREADY. Democratic Party internal polling has MCCREADY up 1 point. So both parties are seeing the same thing: that this race is truly a toss-up, with all results in the margin of error." "This is a district President DONALD TRUMP won by nearly 12 points, and this race is within the margin of error 10 days before Election Day. The president is going to try to move the needle..." <<And Republican Big Money is coming in fast....>> "The NRCC, Congressional Leadership Fund and Club for Growth have combined for nearly $6 million in spending in this race." A Democratic win "would be a very big deal." |
Despite Trump's 2016 win in this district and a baked-in Republican advantage due to gerrymandering, Democrat Dan McCready is running in a DEAD HEAT with Trump Republican Dan Bishop.
Bishop is the right-wing extremist state senator who authored North Carolina's infamous discriminatory bathroom ban targeting transgendered people.
So we're going all in to turn out the progressive vote, defeat Bishop, and kickstart the 2020 blue wave NOW.

Democrat 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, we have an incredible chance to FLIP this longtime Republican seat and send an undeniable message to Trump and the GOP that they can't continue to get away with their extremism and bigotry.
But national Republicans, the NRA, and other right-wing interests are spending big to smear Democrat Dan McCready and elect Bishop to help carry out Trump's agenda.
And now with Trump himself headed down to campaign for Bishop personally, it's going to take the grassroots support of progressives like you from all around the country to help us get out the vote and win this flippable district.
YOUR help is needed!
