Republican Thom Tillis just announced heโ€™s not running for re-election. Donald Trump is going to handpick the new Republican candidate for this race, but our grassroots movement is ready to take them on. Iโ€™ve done it before. I flipped a Republican district blue, and I did it by building a people-powered movement with people like you. Before Trump and his allies pour millions into this race to try to buy this seat, we have to act fast. ๐–๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐œ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐ ๐š ๐ƒ๐ž๐ฆ๐จ๐œ๐ซ๐š๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ก ๐‚๐š๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐š ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐’๐ž๐ง๐š๐ญ๐ž?
