Re: Q2

  John — the National Journal just named our race as one of the most likely Senate seats to flip in November. Democrats only need to flip four seats to take back the Senate, which means North Carolina is a must-win state. The path to taking back the Senate majority runs right through …

Something incredible happened

  John — When we launched this campaign, one of the challenges I knew we would face would be keeping up with our opponent’s fundraising, especially since I knew I wasn’t going to take a single donation from corporate PACs. Then, something incredible happened. Moments after I announced…

There is NO path to the Senate without winning North Carolina

  John — Democrats have no chance to take back the Senate without winning this election in North Carolina this November. None. That’s why our race is expected to be the “most expensive Senate race of 2020” with Washington Republicans already booking — and we’re not exaggerating! — ten…
