North Carolina Primary Results Show Voters Want Leaders Ready to Fight for Lower Costs and a Better Future
tags
Raleigh, NC — North Carolinians made one thing clear in this primary election: voters want leaders who are ready to fight for a future that lowers costs, strengthens communities, and delivers real solutions for families across the state.
“Affordability and energy prices remain top of mind for North Carolinians – families are squeezed by rising utility bills and the growing costs of extreme weather,” said Terryn Hall, North Carolina State Director for Climate Power. “The people of North Carolina are looking for leaders who will stand up to corporate price gouging, invest in clean energy, and put money back in people’s pockets.”
- Former Governor Roy Cooper secured the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination by focusing on cost of living and demonstrated that bold climate leadership can drive economic growth while positioning North Carolina as a clean energy leader in the South.
- Jamie Ager secured the NC-11 Democratic Congressional nomination by centering energy affordability, disaster recovery and defending public lands..
These results signal strong support for candidates who understand that climate action and affordability go hand in hand. Investing in clean energy, energy efficiency, and resilient infrastructure lowers costs for working families, creates good-paying jobs, and reduces the pollution that threatens our health and economy.
