I think she's up for it! The fact that she managed to recruit Democratic candidates for almost all the state and local races DESPITE the extreme gerrymandering here in NC is AMAZING! Rural democrats actually have someone to vote for this year and the chances have never been greater that someone will be knocking on their door to canvass them.
Like Thomas, I am sceptical of polls. But I am a firm believer in the power of grassroots volunteers. I'm in Mecklenburg county and volunteers have been canvassing in Tricia Cotham's newly-drawn house district (HD-105) since February!! Her House district overlaps with NC Senate District 42 where Dem. Woodson Bradley is running against Stacy McGinn, an ultra MAGA supporter of Trump and Mark Robinson. So volunteers get a two-fer when they canvass and we have the potential to break the NC Legislature's GOP supermajority just by getting out the vote in Mecklenburg.
I know that there are also some competitive seats in other blue urban areas in the state, so 🤞the GOP will just end up with a simple majority that will require more that 1 seat to be flipped to give them a super majority!
In addition, the Mecklenburg Dems and the Charlotte chapter of Indivisible are coordinating postcard writing campaigns. Volunteers across the county have volunteered their porches as postcard depots where people can pick up bundles of postcards to write at home or at various postcard writing events. I have written postcards for
* Field Team 6 (www.fieldteam6.org) to register new Democratic voters in NC - this is totally on my own, but the others are through the auspices of the local Democrats
* Postcards to Swing States which writes to lower-propensity progressing voters here in NC (and other Swing States and districts) to encourage them to GOTV
* Postcards to HD-105 for Nicole Sidman to complement the canvasses
* Postcards to voters across the state for Mo Green's race against Michele Morrow
* Postcards to voters across the state for Josh Stein - if you sign up at Women for Stein (https://www.joshstein.org/women-for-stein) they will send you a postcard template you can print at home (on Avery blank perforated postcards) along with names & addresses and a script
* and I beilieve we will soon have postcards for Rachel Hunt for Lt. Governor
And of course there are always lots of opportunities to do phonebanking...
