Senate Majority PAC Statement on Roy Cooper Winning the Democratic Primary for the U.S. Senate Race in North Carolina

Senate Majority PAC Spokesperson Lauren French issued the following statement after Gov. Roy Cooper secured the nomination for U.S. Senate in North Carolina:

“Roy Cooper just won the Democratic nomination, and North Carolina Republicans should be nervous.

“As governor, Cooper didn’t just talk about the results; he delivered them. Half a million North Carolinians got health coverage. More than 640,000 jobs were created. And a landmark program wiped out more than $4 billion in medical debt. That’s what governing actually looks like.

“Then there’s Michael Whatley, a man so tangled in special interest money that ‘conflict of interest’ might as well be his campaign slogan. But serving North Carolina isn’t about feathering your own nest, and its next senator shouldn’t treat the job like an enrichment opportunity.

“The choice is simple: a proven governor who puts people first or a party operative who’s spent his career putting himself first. North Carolinians know the difference, and they’ll elect Roy Cooper in November because of it.”
