North Carolina Democrats say they’re getting organized around their goal of retaking the Republican-controlled legislature thanks to the person who’d benefit the most — Gov. Roy Cooper.
Cooper and the state Democratic Party announced Tuesday a new initiative already started to get back a majority in the House and Senate by the close of the 2020 elections.
The party said Cooper already has raised more than $1 million for the “Break the Majority” effort, and party Chair Wayne Goodwin says the goal is for millions more. Exactly when the initiative will be first tested is unclear. A federal court hasn’t yet decided whether new General Assembly elections will be required before November 2018 once legislative maps are soon redrawn.
Cooper’s policy ideas have been blocked by the GOP’s veto-proof majorities.
