Hi! I just posted an update to this information, which you can read here.

My post yesterday breaking down all the contested NC House & Senate races was pretty long (3700 words). Here’s a bare-bones distillation. It necessarily omits a lot of info.

• Voting is necessary (CRITICAL) but not sufficient.
• Donate to these candidates if you have money. Volunteer for their campaigns if you have time.
• Here are four organizations working to protect voting rights in NC:
  1. Democracy NC
  2. NC ACLU
  3. NC NAACP
  4. You Can Vote
• Here are three organizations who lobby, or endorse progressive candidates:
  1. Equality NC
  2. Lillian’s List
  3. Progress NC Action
• Here are three absolutely critical state-wide races:
  1. Roy Cooper for Governor
  2. Deborah Ross for US Senate
  3. Josh Stein for Attorney General
• The Republicans currently have supermajorities in both the NC House & Senate. To re-secure veto power for our next governor, current Democrats need to win all of their tight races, and we need to convert four seats in the House & four in the Senate.
• Here are 13 of the most critical/winnable seats in the House (look at my earlier post for the numbers & rationale for each, as well as additional races to watch):
  1. District 6: Warren Judge
  2. District 9: Brian Farkas
  3. District 36: Jen Ferrell
  4. District 41: Gale Adcock
  5. District 44: Billy Richardson
  6. District 46: Tim Benton
  7. District 49: Cynthia Ball
  8. District 92: Chaz Beasley
  9. District 93: Sue Counts
  10. District 115: John Ager
  11. District 116: Brian Turner
  12. District 118: Rhonda Cole Schandevel
  13. District 119: Joe Sam Queen
• Here are 9 of the most critical/winnable seats in the Senate (again, look at my earlier post for the numbers and rationale for each, as well as additional races to watch):
  1. District 1: Brownie Futtrell
  2. District 9: Andrew Barnhill
  3. District 15: Laurel Deegan-Fricke
  4. District 17: Susan Evans
  5. District 18: Gil Johnson
  6. District 19: Toni Morris
  7. District 25: Dannie Montgomery
  8. District 39: Lloyd Scher
  9. District 50: Jane Hipps

OK, that’s it. I still think you should go read my other post, but I totally understand if you don’t.
