“final” this and “last” that

  We just got some unexpected news, Brandt: Donald Trump will return to North Carolina for visit #8 — just as two new polls show Cal in a statistical tie with Thom Tillis. Rush a donation to help prepare our campaign for whatever Trump has planned during his rally in North Carolina on…

The system is broken

  Brandt — A few weeks ago, I spoke with a supporter named George during a virtual town hall meeting. Like many North Carolinians, George expressed concerns about the political corruption taking place in Washington, and asked for my thoughts on bringing much-needed reform to Capitol H…

$1

  I’m emailing to ask if you can chip in $6, Brandt. I have a good reason. There are currently SIX Senate races rated as “toss-up” and North Carolina is one of the most likely to flip. Democrats have virtually no chance of taking back the Senate without our state, but some recent poll…

  Here’s the deal: Democrats need to flip just four seats to take back the Senate and Washington Republicans like our opponent, Thom Tillis, are underwater. His approval rating is a dismal 29%. Recent polls show us either ahead of Tillis by single digits or within the margin of error.…
