This North Carolina Democrat will try to unseat Thom Tillis (R) this fall

Cal Cunningham, an Army veteran and former state senator, will take on Sen. Thom Tillis (R) in what’s expected to be an extremely competitive North Carolina Senate race this fall.

... snip ...

“In the push and pull of Washington politics, Thom Tillis has decided there is something more important than representing us,” Cunningham said. “He has put his own political interests and special interests ahead of North Carolina’s interests.”

Cunningham called out Tillis for supporting President Donald Trump’s efforts to shift $80 million from the state’s military bases to fund his border wall, and his backing for offshore drilling along the North Carolina coast, among other actions.

and he lost a close one in 2012 and Clinton lost a close one in 2016. It's definitely a swing state.
