NC AFL-CIO Congratulates Governor-Elect Roy Cooper on His Recount-Proof Victory

"Time for Gov. McCrory to concede that his damaging and divisive governorship is at its end."

MaryBe McMillan, secretary-treasurer of the NC State AFL-CIO, released the following statement on the North Carolina gubernatorial election:

“It is time for Gov. McCrory to concede that his damaging and divisive governorship is at its end so working people can prepare for the challenges that lie ahead - defending our victory in the state supreme court race and breaking the Republican supermajority in special legislative elections next year. Roy Cooper campaigned to give North Carolina the chance for a fresh start under new leadership, and we congratulate Governor-elect Cooper on his now recount-proof victory."
