So that’s it for the House candidates. 7 in all. Reminder: NC Democrats need to flip 6 House seats to win a majority. Now - on to the Senate!

So that's it. That's the Slate. Hats are off to the
@nchousedems &@NCSenateDems for recruiting an incredible class of challengers this cycle. These folks are outstanding. We have the right people with the best maps we've seen in a decade. http://LongLeafPineSlate.orgPrikaži ovu nit -
All 11 Long Leaf Pine Slate candidates are in districts that are R+(some low single-digit). These are tough districts. However, we’ve got big advantages: - Presidential year turnout - Great candidates - Many tweaked districts - NC GOP radicalism is on full display

A few of these candidates ran in 2018 but lost by *very* narrow margins. (That’s what gerrymandering does!) But court-ordered redistricting last year changed a lot of those districts, and made them slightly more Democratic. No exaggeration: this is our best map in a decade.
Prikaži ovu nit -
In an incredible coincidence, *lots* of the GOP incumbents in these districts decided not to run again after their gerrymandered districts were changed!

Your big contribution to a Presidential campaign will be a drop in the bucket of the $250M most of those guys will raise. But it’ll pack a big punch to one of these races, and ultimately mean a lot more. Donate and share. LLP OUT
