Richard met with North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper at the Democratic Party’s Unity Dinner in Durham on June 19. Cooper thanked Richard “for stepping up” to run for State Senate and wished him well in the campaign.
The governor emphasized to Democrats how important the 2022 election is and how critical it is to keep Republicans from regaining a super majority in the General Assembly.
Cooper reminded delegates that he had vetoed 43 “bad laws” that would have gone into effect if the GOP still had its super majority.
