Beyond bashing his opponent, ads from North Carolina's next governor offer some clues about his priorities.
How ironic, that after former Republican Gov. Pat McCrory was defeated for re-election in 2016 largely because of a voter backlash to the famous “bathroom bill,” Republicans have exchanged shields for swords on the issue.
Likely general election voters in North Carolina list debates as their top source for reliable information about election candidates.
The Democratic candidate for governor has chosen to revive an issue that raises questions about the attorney general's office dating back 28 years.
A new television ad launched by the Republican Governors Association (RGA) claims the Attorney General Josh Stein “failed women” by taking years to address nearly 12 thousand untested rape kits across the state that could lead to capturing suspected sexual offenders that were yet to be identified.
A Democratic candidate for N.C. attorney general airs a television ad criticizing his Republican opponent’s legal record.

Shining more light on that offender’s case is likely to do little to bolster Beasley’s political prospects.

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Cheri Beasley says in a recent campaign ad, “In the Senate, I’ll never stop fighting to make North Carolina safe.” A new anti-Beasley ad from the National Republican Senatorial Committee calls that promise into question. NRSC unveiled the ad titled “Victims” on Friday, four days before Beasley was expected to win...
A Senate campaign ad, paid for by the pro-Budd Club for Growth, cites the John Locke Foundation as its source for the textbook claim. As a former chairman and current board member of the think tank in question, I feel the need to correct the record: no one at Locke ever said former governor “put liberals in charge of state textbooks.”
