California billionaire Tom Steyer announced Tuesday that he plans to invest $1 million into the effort to flip North Carolina's 9th and 13th congressional districts by mobilizing young voters. The money is on top of $30 million he's spending on NextGen Rising, a campaign to energize millennial voters in more than two dozen key districts in 10 states. Steyer told the Observer that in North Carolina he'll put 11 full-time and 25 part-time staffers on 12 college campuses in the two districts. In addition, he wants to target 100,000 young voters through a mail and digital campaign.
