Democrat Legislators Who Voted For SB 37 Should Publicly Call On Cooper To Sign It
February 23, 2021
For Immediate Release
Raleigh, NC - Last week, a bipartisan coalition of the Republican-led North Carolina General Assembly passed SB37 to safely reopen North Carolina public schools. The bill garnered support of bipartisan supermajorities capable of overriding Democrat Governor Roy Cooper’s veto. In the face of imminent defeat, Governor Cooper appearsto be deliberately dragging out the process hoping to avoid the humiliation of having his veto overridden.
“The Democrats who voted for SB 37 should publicly call on Cooper to make a decision so that the bill goes into law or they can override his veto,” said NCGOP Communications Director Tim Wigginton. “Every day that Cooper delays a decision on SB 37 is more time lost for in-person learning for North Carolina kids. That is why his Democrat allies in the legislature who voted for SB 37 should call on him to make a decision.”
Here’s a list of the Democrats who voted for SB 37 who should publicly encourage Governor Cooper to sign the bill they voted for:
Representative Cecil Brockman District 60 Guilford County
Representative Terry E. Garrison District 32 Granville County, Vance County and Warren County
Representative Charles Graham District 47 Robeson County
Representative Joe John District 40 Wake County
Representative Graig Meyer District 50 Orange County
