Michael Whatley

U.S. Senate candidate for North Carolina

Compared on: Supports party-led election-integrity efforts, ballot safeguards, and enforcement of election rules.

THEN · MAY 2024

It is critical for elections officials to fully comply with state laws meant to ensure election integrity in North Carolina. The North Carolina State Board of Elections’ guidelines and rules, which we are challenging today, clearly conflict with state law and will undermine the integrity of North Carolina elections. The RNC and our partners are dedicated to ensuring fair and transparent elections, and we are taking this action to ensure that it will be easy to vote and hard to cheat in the Old North State.

I have a proven record of standing up for conservative values. As Chairman of the North Carolina GOP, I led the charge to grow voter registration, protect the ballot, and get out the vote for Republicans across the state. I carried on that same fight for election integrity and Republican victories in my role as Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Her killer, DeCarlos Brown Jr, should have been behind bars and Iryna would be alive today if Roy Cooper had not put thousands of violent repeat offenders back on North Carolina streets with his soft-on-crime policies.

Know who else is profiting? My opponent, Michael Whatley, thanks to his stock in these companies that he refuses to sell and the Iran war he continues to support.
