500 supporters help Cal kick off U.S. Senate Race

It was great to see over 500 supporters turn out for Cal’s hometown campaign kick-off event in Lexington last night. It felt like a big family gathering, and Cal even led folks in singing Happy Birthday to a member of his staff. He spoke directly with the community that helped to raise him and reiterated his commitment to work on their behalf in the U.S. Senate for a prosperous economy, better schools, and a restoration of American values abroad.

Cal’s message about going to Washington to be a strong voice for North Carolinians, create jobs, and restore innovation to our badly-hurt economy moved the crowd to their feet repeatedly. And on the same day I got word about the dramatic tightening of the race in the poll by Public Policy Polling, which I see was already posted about here.

It’s good to be a part of this campaign when I see the confidence that Cal inspires in people who have known him all his life.
