Three seats...flipping just three flippin’ seats (out of 120) in the North Carolina State House of Representatives is all it will take to break the NC Republican Party’s stranglehold on Tar Heel state government, by destroying the GOP’s veto-proof super-majority in the General Assembly and thus enormously amplifying the ability of Gov. Roy Cooper (D) to protect Tar Heels from the crazy .
And there are more than three seriously vulnerable Republican General Assembly members running for re-election in 2018. Many great progressive Tar Heel candidates are stepping forward for 2018, including two courageous transgender women (one of them known to many of us Kossacks, and whom I’m proud to call a friend).
Insightus will be at the OurShotNC launch party next Sunday, June 4, 5-7 PM at The Pit Barbecue (mmm-MMM!), 321 W Geer St in Durham. Hope to see some of y’all there too. And if you can’t make it, here’s their ActBlue donation page. OurShotNC is an initiative of smart, savvy, progressive Dems, including my own state House Representative and good friend, Graig Meyer. Your donations will be money well-spent, believe me.
