Leading Off ● NC-09: Dan McCready, a Marine Corps Iraq veteran and solar energy businessman, may be running in a decidedly red district, but he's emerged as one of the strongest Democratic contenders in the nation this cycle. He also received a boost when an extremely conservative pastor, Mark Harris, unseated Rep. Robert Pittenger in the May GOP primary. McCready has a wide $1.8 million to $296,000 cash-on-hand edge over Harris, who didn't respond to recent poll from a conservative think tank that put McCready up 43-36. This suburban Charlotte seat voted for Trump by a difficult 54-43 margin, but McCready has very much put this one in play, so we're moving our rating from Lean Republican to Tossup.
