I am sending my most heartfelt thank you to the folks of NC who voted for me, to the labor unions and organizations that worked tirelessly on my behalf, to the business leaders who supported me, and to the workers who believed in me. While we didn’t come out on top, workers came out in droves to make their voices heard and say they are ready for a new approach. The fight for a North Carolina that prioritizes its workers in addition to the business community doesn’t stop today. Let’s continue to unite around workplace safety, workers’ rights, and creating a thriving workforce.

 

When we launched this campaign almost twenty months ago, we did so with the goal of making North Carolina the #1 state for business and workers. We got in the race early to visit as many communities as we could and spread our message of change from the mountains to the coast. North Carolina is a large state to campaign in, and I want to show my support for my opponent Luke Farley. We are both dads to three children, and I know the sacrifices he made for the love of our state. Thank you for stepping up to run, and I hope you prioritize all workers as you step into this very important position.
