National Republicans Release Initial Digital Ad Against Cooper

This morning the National Republican Senatorial Committee released a new digital ad called “Roy’s a Yes to the Left.” This ad hit Cooper for his long track record of siding with progressives over North Carolinians. The ad comes after reporting that Cooper plans to enter the race for the North Carolina Senate seat. The Senate contest in North Carolina is expected to be the most expensive race in American history.  

"Roy Cooper has been a tireless advocate for progressive causes like forcing women to compete against males in sports, raising taxes on North Carolinian families, and releasing illegal aliens onto North Carolina streets," said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia. "Cooper is so committed to the Democrat cause that he is willing to embrace the radical left and join the long list of Democrat governors who lost their bids for the U.S. Senate."

With Michael as our candidate, we will win it again in 2026!"
