RALEIGH – Today, Roy Cooper continued his “Make Stuff Cost Less” tour, holding an event in Goldsboro to discuss how he will work in the U.S. Senate to make life more affordable for North Carolina families.
“American service members have died and prices have gone through the roof for working people here in Wayne County and all across the state because of this reckless war with Iran – our service members, veterans and their families deserve better,” said Roy Cooper. “DC Insider and Big Oil and utility lobbyist Michael Whatley wants to ‘stay the course’ on the war no matter how much North Carolina families are hurting. I’m running to be a strong, independent voice for North Carolinians in Washington and make stuff cost less.”
“As our service members risk their lives abroad, working people here are seeing prices that were already sky high go up even more,” said U.S. Air Force veteran Johnathan Barnes. “It’s clear we need a change. While Big Oil lobbyist Michael Whatley supports this ill-advised war overseas and cheers on the policies increasing prices on North Carolina families and small businesses, Roy Cooper has a track record of making life better and lowering costs for working people and military families. He’s running to Make Stuff Cost Less and will keep building on that progress in the U.S. Senate.”
“As a veteran, what I’m seeing right now deeply concerns me,” said retired U.S. Army veteran Scott Peoples. “Everything is so expensive, and our veterans, service members and their families are struggling to keep up. Michael Whatley keeps getting richer while our working families are left behind. Roy Cooper has put North Carolinians first time and time again and will continue to do so when he is our next U.S. Senator.”
On the Make Stuff Cost Less tour, Roy released his plans to lower the cost of food and groceries, health care, utilities, child care and housing.
