4 reasons

There are plenty of reasons to support Rep. Don Davis in the race for North Carolina’s 1st District, but rather than list them all, here are 4 big ones: 1) House control is on the line. Democrats have a chance to take the House, and defending this battleground seat is mission-critical. 2) Don …

I’ll keep this to just 100 words

It’s Friday, and in the spirit of keeping things brief, I’ll keep this email to just 100 words. Here’s the short version: House control is on the line, and flipping the House blue requires that we do two things: 1) Flip vulnerable red seats. 2) Defend vulnerable blue seats like this one. …

we need to double our efforts

We knew that flipping the House would be a challenge, but with the GOP gerrymandering to stack the deck in their favor, we need to double our efforts, so we don't get left behind. With the GOP pulling every lever at their disposal, the fight to defend battleground seats like mine becomes that muc…

my seat is on the GOP’s wishlist

According to Sabato’s Crystal Ball, my seat is one of 5 Democratic-held seats rated “Lean Republican.” Thanks to GOP spending, constant gerrymandering by North Carolina Republicans, and a hyper-competitive midterm cycle, we’re the underdogs in this race. Despite all that, I’m confident that we…

why we must flip the House

Flipping the House is perhaps the most important thing we can do this November. While it wouldn’t fix all our problems overnight, a Democratic House majority could: Put a check on this administration. With the House, we could stop the MAGA agenda. Put government back to work for families. Instead…

we didn’t just pull this number from a hat

We’ve set a goal of raising $20,000 before the end of May, and we didn’t just draw that number out of a hat. There are many factors that go into setting these important benchmarks. First, we know we’re fighting an uphill battle in terms of fundraising. My opponent can self-fund her campaign, but we…

this seat is at the top of the GOP wish list

We have a historic opportunity this November
