1. Pretty sure hes got this. Next senate seat up get Jeff Jackson in.

[blm]

2. Jackson would have beat Tillis in 2020, and Budd in 2022.

National Dem PTB pushed him aside for THEIR picks. Jackson in that Senate seat would have made a big difference for Biden AND for Dem party representation on the news shows.

Cooper and Jackson are the 2 strongest Dems we have statewide - both are winners. It would be great to get Cooper in the senate in 2026 and Jackson in 2028.
