PFAW Member --
The VERY FIRST election that has the chance to kick start a Blue Wave for 2020 is the special congressional election in North Carolina’s 9th District – and it’s coming up fast.
PFAW just solidified our plans to get involved in this election and flip this seat from red to blue because of how important it will be to:
holding onto the Democratic House majority, and
dealing Trump an early defeat that could give progressives amazing momentum heading into 2020.
We need progressives from across the country to invest in this critical race.

The race is SO CLOSE!
Despite a baked-in Republican advantage due to gerrymandering, recent polling for this race has Republican Dan Bishop just 4 points ahead of Democrat Dan McCready -- well within the 5.2% margin of error, making this race a statistical DEAD HEAT!
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, in what some in the media are calling the "Battle of the Dans" because of Republican Dan Bishop and the Democratic candidate Dan McCready's shared first name.
Pence spoke at a fundraiser for Bishop in Fayetteville, where the two discussed Bishop's support for Trump, according to The Fayetteville Observer.
Bishop is also the right-wing extremist state legislator who authored North Carolina’s nationally infamous – and incredibly bigoted – transgender bathroom ban!
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!

Writing for Roll Call in a piece that argues the "Battle of the Dans offers a test of how far loyalty to Trump will take you," columnist Mary Curtis says, "Whatever happens, the race has offered a national blueprint for what voters will see in 2020, with the majority of Republicans [who ran in the primary, including Bishop] clinging close to Donald Trump..."`
