Roy Cooper campaigns on affordability during North Carolina Senate tour

Roy Cooper, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, is continuing his “Make Stuff Cost Less” tour across North Carolina. During recent stops in Concord and High Point, Cooper focused his campaign on addressing the rising cost of living for families, specifically citing increased prices at grocery stores and gas stations.

Cooper is running to fill the seat held by Thom Tillis, facing Republican opponent Michael Whatley. Cooper positioned himself as an independent leader who will work across party lines to improve affordability. Supporters at the events, including local educators, small business owners, and military veterans, expressed concerns regarding economic pressures and the impact of inflation on working families.
