Roy Cooper

I’ve had enough of DC policies and partisanship that end up making things downright hard for everyday people. That’s why I stepped up to run for the U.S. Senate.

DC politicians are more interested in helping billionaires get richer while North Carolinians struggle to stay afloat. We need to focus on the hardworking folks who need a hand; the elites are doing just fine.

DC Republicans claim to care about the middle class while they’re cutting their health care and raising prices. In North Carolina, we expanded Medicaid and got health care to more than 675,000 of our friends and neighbors.

Actions speak louder than words.

The middle class feels like a distant dream for too many Americans. Many in the middle class are barely hanging on to it.

We need a Senator who will focus on making life more affordable and opportunities more accessible right here in North Carolina.

I’ve spent my career right here in our state building consensus to make life better for North Carolinians. Too many people like my opponent who have spent their careers in DC can’t say the same.

Dysfunction in DC doesn’t stay in DC. When the Washington establishment neglects its most important duties, everyday families feel the pain.

You wouldn’t send an arsonist to put out a house fire. Why would NC send a DC insider to fix Washington’s problems?

Rent, gas, electricity, health care, groceries, the list goes on.

Family bills are too expensive. We need leaders who will fight to lower costs and make life more affordable.

Growing up in Nash County, my parents, teachers, preachers and neighbors taught me about the meaning of integrity, hard work and looking out for each other.

Those values make us North Carolinians, and those values led me to my public service.

I think our country has had enough of the bickering and squabbling in D.C. at the expense of working families. I’ve spent my career always standing up for North Carolina. That’s exactly what I’ll take with me to the Senate.

Gmar Chatima Tova to those observing Yom Kippur. I wish you an easy fast and meaningful day of reflection and prayer.

North Carolina families need a Senator who’s going to stick up for them, not for Big Oil or the special interests of the day.

I am ready to do the hard work fixing what’s broken in Washington and upholding the laws and values that are at the core of what America stands for.

The best way to save money on health care is to keep people healthy. That's why we expanded Medicaid to 675,000 North Carolinians.

But Washington's health care cuts mean that hardworking families will struggle to stay afloat and take care of their loved ones.

It has been 365 days since Hurricane Helene hit our mountains, destroying roads, flooding businesses and homes and tragically taking the lives of 108 North Carolinians.

Today, in spite of a broken Washington, communities are stepping up and supporting each other as they rebuild.

I am no stranger to tough fights. I have won hard races before and will do it again with the help of North Carolinians stepping up and fighting for a better future.

You most likely know someone — whether it’s your neighbor, teacher or friend — who could lose their health care thanks to extreme Republican Medicaid cuts.

Everyone needs and deserves health care. DC Republicans want to take it away to give tax breaks to their wealthy friends.

I just donated to help Democrat Roy Cooper FLIP the U.S. Senate! Will you join us and chip in? Show your support with a contribution.

They're going to do whatever they can to keep us from flipping this seat. Politico even said this might be the first billion-dollar Senate race. That's absurd.

But we fight back with grassroots support, so help us out before our big fundraising deadline: secure.actblue.com/donate/roy_c...

I joined @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com last night to discuss a simple fact: it's hard to rebuild in the mountains after a hurricane, but it shouldn't be hard for the federal government to cut the checks.

Michael Whatley has failed Western North Carolina.

I am ready to do everything in my power to make this country better — for all of us.

Washington Republicans could be spending their time lowering costs and helping out hardworking people.

Instead, their “Big Beautiful Bill” is going to kick North Carolinians off their health care and make it more expensive for everyone else.

People thought we would never expand Medicaid. They thought it was impossible.

We proved them wrong and built a bipartisan coalition to get health care to more than 675,000 North Carolinians. As your Senator, I won’t back down from a challenge.

Shana Tova, North Carolina! Wishing a happy and sweet new year to all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah.

Washington leaders are more focused on helping their billionaire buddies than North Carolinians struggling to get by. We need leaders who care about the everyday people trying to find a quality job, buy a home, and raise a family.

This race is the most important Senate race in the country, and I can’t win it alone. It will take all of us working together to make a better North Carolina.

Because of Washington politicians, rural hospitals are at risk of closing, energy prices are rising, and groceries are too expensive. North Carolina families are struggling to get by.

As your Senator, I will fight for every North Carolinian who feels left behind by DC.

DC is broken. The biggest corporations and richest Americans are getting further ahead at the expense of working people.

I’m running to focus on the issues that matter — supporting more quality jobs, making health care more affordable & lowering costs for families.

The federal government is slashing education funding, cutting school lunches, and undermining education. Those policies are sowing chaos across the country and will harm students here in North Carolina.

Cutting Medicaid won’t just hurt hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians. It will make health care coverage more expensive for the rest of us, too.

We won’t make this country better simply by helping the 1%.

We will make this country better by supporting the everyday people who make our country great.

The decisions we make today will impact not just our lives but generations to come. We must remember that despite our differences, we are all Americans.
