One year ago, Charlie Kirk was taken from us while doing the work he was called to - on a college campus, speaking boldly, and engaging the next generation. His loss hits close to home. Charlie stood firm and defended the values we hold dear with clarity, courage, and grace. We miss him and we honor his legacy. #charliekirk

During his time as governor, Roy Cooper used his veto power to oppose legislation to protect women and girls’ rights. In 2023, he vetoed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, which prohibited biological males from participating on female sports teams in middle school, high school, and college. Thankfully, the General Assembly subsequently overrode his veto and enacted the law. Roy Cooper thinks Protecting Our Daughters is a price too high to pay. Michael Whatley wants to Protect Our Daughters. #ncpol #MichaelWhatley #RoyCooper
