"SNIP..... 

(CNN)The first significant ad buy for state Sen. Erica Smith, a Democratic candidate for US Senate in North Carolina, appears to be backed by Republicans. 

Faith and Power, a new political action committee with ties to Republicans, formally launched on January 29 and quickly placed a $1.56 million broadcast ad in the Democratic primary, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission and the Kantar Media's Campaign Media Analysis Group. 

The ad aims to boost Smith over Cal Cunningham, who has been endorsed by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and has raised significantly more money. 

...... 

The winner of the Democratic primary will face Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, who may prefer to run against Smith. Her campaign had on hand less than $100,000 at the end of 2019. Cunningham's campaign, meanwhile, had more than $1.7 million. 

.....SNIP"

the hallmark of the republican party. They could never win in a fair election, and they know it. Democrats in North Carolina have to fight back, dirtier and stronger than the stinking republicans. No more Mr. Nice Guy!
