North Carolina Democratic Party Chair Bobbie Richardson released the following statement after Senate Democrats sustained the Governor’s veto of Senate Bill 37 this evening. 

“Today’s vote in the Senate underscores just how important our efforts were to break the Republican supermajority in 2018 and re-elect Governor Cooper in 2020. As we continue to navigate this crisis, North Carolina deserves measured, steady leaders like Governor Cooper, who will lead with science and prioritize public health. North Carolina Democrats will continue to stand with Governor Cooper and ensure our children are able to attend in-person instruction safely.”
