Democratic strategist Mike Lux, https://www.mikeluxmedia.com/about, is the author of a ground-breaking report on how Democrats can win all across the country, and an astute student and practitioner of American politics for over 40 years. He’ll present current information on how we can win, in NC and nationally.
Becca Zerkin, the director of the impressive NC volunteer group, https://www.neighborsoncall.org/, will join Mike and share insights on what’s happening on the ground in NC and how volunteers are laying the groundwork for big wins this November.
North Carolina has one of the three best chances in the U.S. to pick up a U.S. Senate seat for Democrats. Former North Carolina Chief Justice Cheri Beasley, a three-times proven statewide vote-getter, will face off against Trumpster Republican Congressman Ted Budd for an open, currently Republican-held seat. Democrats can also pick up a new U.S. House seat, the 13th district, thanks to court-ordered redistricting.
In addition, North Carolina is now in the absolute center of the fight to preserve reproductive rights. It is now the Southernmost state East of the Mississippi with full access. But the Republican-dominated North Carolina legislature wants to roll that back and make abortion illegal in NC. Protecting our rights? Democratic Governor Roy Cooper has and will continue to veto far-right Republican legislation, but if Democrats lose two seats in the NC State Senate and three seats in the NC State House, the Republican majority will be able to override Governor Cooper’s veto. Therefore, supporting key NC House and Senate candidates in swing districts is critical for North Carolina to continue to be a haven in the South for reproductive rights.
