Raleigh – North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Wayne Goodwin released the following statement on the primary night election results for Governor:

“North Carolina Democrats are proud to once again support Governor Roy Cooper, a fighter for North Carolina families who is committed to moving our state forward. Since 2016, Governor Cooper has fought for a better educated, healthier, and more prosperous North Carolina where people can have more money in their pockets and opportunities to live with purpose and abundance.

“He has prioritized raising teacher pay, expanding Medicaid, and strengthening our local economies over corporate tax cuts. He’s offered the strong leadership and vision North Carolina deserves, and we will do everything we can to return him to the Governor’s mansion this fall.”
