“Roy Cooper abandoned our families in favor of the woke mob. He stood for men in girls sports, supported transgender mutilation of our kids, and vetoed the Parents Bill of Rights. Why? Cooper is a disgrace. As your next Senator, I will always put our FAMILIES FIRST and protect our kids from the radical far-left policies of extremists like Roy Cooper,” said Michael Whatley.
