RALEIGH, NC – Today, Roy Cooper announced more than $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2026. This number reflects the growing enthusiasm in North Carolina for the Cooper campaign: 95 percent of donations were $100 or less and nearly one-third of donations were from first-time individual donors.
“Roy Cooper is running to make stuff cost less, while Big Oil and utility company lobbyist and DC insider Michael Whatley is only looking out for himself and his well-connected friends,” said Jeff Allen, Cooper for North Carolina campaign manager. “Our campaign’s strong grassroots fundraising from folks who know Roy Cooper will put the people first is more important than ever now that the Supreme Court has allowed the RNC to spend virtually unlimited amounts to bail out their former Chairman Michael Whatley.”
