The truth

  Here are some things we know to be true, Brandt — We know North Carolina deserves better than a Senator so deep in the pockets of corporate interests, he continually sells us out to please his wealthy donors. Thom Tillis has an approval rating of 29% because North Carolinians are fe…

Too close

  NEW: “The road to a Democratic Senate majority runs through North Carolina.” Democrats cannot flip the Senate or save the Supreme Court without flipping North Carolina’s Republican-held seat, which is why our state is so important. Donate to Cal Cunningham’s campaign and help us win…

re: 4,769

  Brandt, I’ll be honest — our grassroots fundraising has been lagging in the last few days and I’m worried we might fall short on our goal before Wednesday’s FEC reporting deadline. At the same time, outside groups are pouring money into North Carolina attempting to tear down our cam…

re: Cal’s bet

  Brandt, it’s Abby — Cal’s digital director. You may already know this, but Cal bet me lunch this morning that his fundraising email would raise more than mine and I can’t tell you how badly I want to win this bet at the end of the day. So, here’s my pitch: You could donate because C…

Lunch?

  Brandt — You get a lot of emails from folks on our campaign, from our campaign manager Devan to our finance director and so on. And we like to keep it interesting around here, so sometimes we make a few side bets to see who can raise more money. The other day, our digital director (…

North Carolina

  Brandt — Our democracy is based on a simple concept: Voters should have a fair chance to elect candidates of their choice. Unfortunately, there is no clearer example of how that promise has been methodically and intentionally undermined than in North Carolina. For nearly a decade, N…

Thom Tillis lied straight through his teeth.

  Thom Tillis has flip-flopped again, Brandt — In 2016, he vowed “not to support a Supreme Court nomination in the midst of a presidential campaign, even if there was a Republican in the White House." Tillis lied straight through his teeth. Instead of speaking out against the shameles…

The New York Times

Yesterday

  Donald Trump just returned to North Carolina again for the fifth time in one month. He’s laser-focused on winning our state and he’s visited us more than any other state with a toss-up Senate race this year. Brandt, I have to ask: Will you rush a donation to help make sure Trump’s r…
