Thank you for the warm welcome today, New Hanover County! People here know how to show up for their neighbors — a true North Carolina value I’ll take with me to the US Senate. Only 2 weeks until early voting starts. Are you registered? iwillvote.com

My opponent thinks the economy is doing great. And it is for him, thanks to his Big Oil and utility stocks. But people are struggling, and North Carolinians deserve a Senator who will make stuff cost less, not make their bills even higher. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/b...

Fed’s Preferred Inflation Gauge Points to Continued Price Pressures
The Personal Consumption Expenditures price index showed little sign of easing in August, though revised data showed inflation had been slightly cooler than previously believed.

Michael Whatley built his career putting the profits of Big Oil and utility companies like Duke Energy above working families. Guys like him aren't fit to serve the people.

It worked when I said it at the start of last season, so I’ll say it again now: Time to drink from the Stanley Cup! Go Canes!

Two years ago, the most devastating storm in our state’s history tore through Western North Carolina. We still mourn the 108 North Carolinians who lost their lives during Hurricane Helene and keep their loved ones in our thoughts.

Chemours is still contaminating our state’s drinking water, and they’re donating thousands of dollars to Michael Whatley. As Governor, my administration sued them. Michael Whatley’s taking their cash.

Enjoyed speaking with voters in Pasquotank County about their hopes for our future. They're ready to elect a Senator who cares about fixing the basics for North Carolinians, and that starts with making stuff cost less. Join them, and learn more about our campaign at roycooper.com/costless.

From the mountains to the coast, North Carolina is full of inspiring people and community. The more time you spend here, the clearer that becomes. Serving as Governor and Attorney General of my beloved home state was an honor, and I’ll continue to fight for North Carolina in the Senate.

Had the chance to speak with volunteers in Wake County before they hit the doors yesterday. Only 7 weekends left to get out there, and your knock could be all the difference! Sign up to volunteer at roycooper.com/volunteer.

We can never forget the horrific attacks that occurred 25 years ago. Today, we honor the lives lost, including the men and women who ran toward danger to help when they were needed most. May we carry their memory as a reminder of the service we owe this country and each other.

North Carolinians are tired of the mess in DC that's making everything more expensive. It's time our leaders step up and do something about it. Thanks for being a part of the conversation, Wayne County. Don’t forget: go to iwillvote.com to register to vote online by October 9!

Political violence has absolutely no place in our country. Full stop. On the anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s murder, we remember the importance of civil debate and reject the unconscionable violence that has become far too common in our society.

American families have now paid over $760 more at the pump since the war in Iran began this February. That’s $760 taken out of your pocket because my opponent and his buddies in DC are more focused on a war abroad instead of high costs at home.

North Carolina workers are the backbone of our communities and our economy. DC needs to do better by them. This Labor Day reminds us how much work’s ahead to put money back into the pockets of working families, not billionaires.

Roy Cooper @roycoopernc.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Many North Carolinians have been telling me they can’t afford such high costs at the grocery store, in the doctor's office and on their utility bills. Leaders in DC must focus on helping people afford what they need, and I’m ready to do just that.

Roy Cooper @roycoopernc.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Politicians in DC want to divide us. They pit us against each other while they help themselves and their billionaire friends. Michael Whatley will do whatever it takes to polarize us so he wins in November, but North Carolinians know they deserve better.

The conversations I had last night reflect the reality North Carolinians are facing everyday. Stuff like child care and rent are just too expensive for young folks like the ones I met in Charlotte, and I'm ready to go to Washington and do something about it.

I spoke with UNC Greensboro students this morning, hearing about both their challenges and their exciting opportunities. Conversations like these are why I’m running for Senate. I’m determined to work toward a better future for our country alongside young leaders like them.

We’ve been at war in Iran for 181 days — that’s 6 months of putting American lives at risk. We’ve lost 18 brave service members. There’s no strategy, no exit plan & no end in sight. Whatley continues to support this war putting our service members in danger & increasing costs to people at home.

I’ve had enough of headlines like this. Farmers don’t deserve what Washington is putting them through right now, and I can guarantee my opponent won’t try to stop it.

Whatley’s career as a DC lobbyist for Duke Energy — and the up to $410,000 he still holds in their stock — shows whose side he’s on. I don’t own Duke Energy or any other company’s stock. As Senator, I’ll remain on the side of the people.

Today marks one year since the horrific murder of Iryna Zarutska. Every family deserves to be safe in their community and no one should have to endure this kind of loss. I'm keeping Iryna's family and loved ones in my prayers.

In North Carolina, there are hardworking people who can’t afford their medication or a visit to the doctor. Decisions in DC have made health insurance so expensive families are sacrificing their health to save money. That’s unacceptable, and I’m running to change that.

The best part of these events is getting to speak with the people who come to support. Your stories inspire this campaign and my public service, and it’ll take all of us to get across the finish line. Thanks for your hospitality, Vance County.

Almost 2 million North Carolinians worked hard and paid into the system believing they’d retire with dignity. Now their social security benefits will cut by 22% if Congress doesn’t act. If you send me to the Senate, I’ll protect these hard earned benefits.

Roy Cooper @roycoopernc.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
Many North Carolinians are struggling to afford the basics, but my opponent keeps saying the economy is going great. You have to recognize a problem in order to solve it.

Utility companies are charging families through the roof while reporting increased profits. Michael Whatley spent his career in DC lobbying for these same companies while he still owns their stock. If he’s elected Senator, he’ll support these companies over consumers every time.
