Following tonight’s U.S. Senate debate on Spectrum News, North Carolina Democratic Party Chair Bobbie Richardson released the following statement congratulating Cheri Beasley on her strong win: 

“Tonight, Cheri Beasley showed voters exactly why she deserves to be North Carolina’s next U.S. Senator. While Cheri offered a clear vision of how she’ll fight for the people to lower costs and protect our constitutional freedoms, Congressman Budd spent his time on the debate stage trying to distract from his failed record of putting corporate special interests ahead of working families and extreme agenda that is too dangerous for North Carolina.”
