Why We're Backing Roy Cooper for US Senate

North Carolinians know Roy Cooper. For decades, he has earned the trust of this state by fighting for public schools, defending workers, expanding healthcare, and helping communities recover in difficult times. We were proud to endorse him for Attorney General and twice for Governor, and we are proud to endorse him once again — this time for the United States Senate.

Why We're Backing Anita Earls for NC Supreme Court

This fall’s North Carolina Supreme Court election is one of the most important races in the state. As the Court has taken positions out of step with most of North Carolina on public education spending, partisan gerrymandering, and environmental regulations, it’s more important than ever that our justices are principled jurists who value the constitution above partisan considerations. Justice Anita Earls is that justice.
