Cal Cunningham Jr. (Jeff Jackson) Joins Radical Liberal Erica Smith In Democrat US Senate Primary

January 26, 2020
For Immediate Release

Raleigh, NC - Cal Cunningham Jr. (Jeff Jackson) announced today that he intends to seek the Democrat nomination for U.S. Senate. Jackson clearly intends to utilize the Cal Cunningham campaign playbook of running on an inflated biography, avoid taking stances on any substantive issue and ignore his own record of failing to accomplish anything notable as a public servant.  The only significant difference between Jackson and Cunningham is that Jackson is younger and is a seasoned Twitter troll. This is why the North Carolina Republican Party will continue to refer to Jackson as Cal Jr.

“Cal Cunningham Jr. (Jeff Jackson) would be a disaster for North Carolina if elected to the United States Senate,” said NCGOP Press Secretary Tim Wigginton. “Jackson is an unaccomplished Twitter troll with no significant legislative accomplishments. North Carolina needs leaders who get results and Cal Jr. believes success equals retweets.” 

Cal Jr.'s entrance into the Democrat Senate primary sets up a potential repeat of the 2020 Democrat US Senate Primary. Radical Liberal Erica Smith has already announced her candidacy for US Senate. Smith was on the track to secure the Democrat nomination in 2020 until establishment Democrats and out of state liberal groups swooped in and spent millions of dollars to boost Cal Cunningham’s flawed candidacy. It will be interesting to see if these DC establishment groups, like the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, will commit to an open primary or will sabotage a qualified African American candidate for the second time in two years.
