About Dan McCready and NC-09
Dan McCready is a Marine Corps veteran, small business owner, husband, and father of four. After serving in the Marines, graduating from Harvard Business School, and working at McKinsey & Company, he started a small business in Charlotte with another Marine. They helped build dozens of solar farms throughout North Carolina, which put 700 North Carolinians to work in good-paying jobs.
Dan lost his bid for North Carolina’s 9th Congressional seat by just 900 votes, but it turns out that his opponent cheated. In March 2019, the North Carolina Board of Elections called for a new election.
This election “redo” pits solar entrepreneur Dan McCready against a nationally known homophobe and the author of North Carolina’s notorious State Senator Dan Bishop or “Bathroom Bill” (sponsor of the bill banning transgender people from using bathrooms). Dan Bishop also voted against a bill allowing pharmacists to discuss lower-cost alternatives with patients.
McCready would be the first Democrat to represent the district
in nearly 50 years. Such a victory strengthen the Democratic majority in
the House of Representatives and would send a message to the world that
the Dems are on the rise!
The race is currently neck and neck.
North Carolina is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country, so voter turnout is critical. A high Democratic turnout on September 10 will get Dan elected and will:
- Help build the political infrastructure to enable North Carolina Democrats to end gerrymandering
- Flip a House seat
- Put the state’s 15 electoral votes in play
- Send a powerful signal to volunteers and small-dollar donors around the country that Trump’s racist rhetoric and hateful policies can still be beaten, even on Republican turf
