We’ll keep this quick, friend. Here are three things you need to know about what’s happening in North Carolina’s 1st District:
- Don Davis won re-election by just over 6,000 votes. He narrowly defeated Republican Laurie Buckhout in one of the closest races in the state.
- The GOP’s targeting is real. The National Republican Congressional Committee has named NC-01 a top pickup opportunity for 2026, putting our community’s progress at risk.
- Grassroots supporters like you made the difference in this race. That people-powered strength was key to our win in November and it’ll take even more to defend this seat in 2026.
We can’t afford to get comfortable, friend. With Republicans on offense, everything from rebuilding our rural economy to protecting our farmers will face constant delays and attacks.
That’s why we need your help: Can you chip in $5 or more to help keep NC-01 blue and ensure Don has the resources to fight back from Day One?
