First, then, so, now

  John, Trump visited North Carolina AGAIN last week. Here’s what you need to know: FIRST, major forecasters said the path to the Senate majority runs straight through North Carolina — that’s why the GOP establishment is targeting our race. THEN, a recent poll showed Cal Cunningham, y…

Hey John

  Hey John, We’re reaching the midway point for our first FEC quarterly deadline of this critical election year. So, I’m personally reaching out to ask if you’ll make your first online donation to our campaign for U.S. Senate today. Our first mid-FEC deadline of 2020 is an important t…

Post-Trump update

  Here are a couple of things you should know, John: The most recent poll of this Senate race shows Cal Cunningham beating our Republican opponent, Senator Thom Tillis. The path to the Senate majority in 2020 runs straight through North Carolina — and that’s why the Washington GOP e…

Checking in

  Checking in after Trump’s visit yesterday, John, just to remind you what this Senate race is really about… This is a fight to elect a leader who will stand up for working people in North Carolina and across the country. It’s a fight to protect our health care from all those who woul…

Too weak for North Carolina

  John, Donald Trump just gave the game away about Thom Tillis while he was in North Carolina today: Tillis will do just about anything to try to please Donald Trump — even when it’s wrong for North Carolina — that’s why people don’t trust him. Tillis is not strong enough to stand up…

Trump is in North Carolina. Today!

  John... Donald Trump is in North Carolina TODAY. There’s no doubt he’s here to prop up Senator Thom Tillis, who is reeling after political missteps have left him wildly unpopular, even with his Republican base. Trump has seen the polls, and he knows Democrat Cal Cunningham is ahead …

Nugget

  Did you watch the State of the Union, John? You may have caught this nugget: Last year, Thom Tillis promised he wouldn’t support Donald Trump’s emergency declaration diverting funding away from military projects. Then, he turned around and voted for it anyway — costing North Caroli…

Today
