Multiple news outlets are reporting today that Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the North Carolina Republican Party nominee for governor in the November election, is under pressure from his party and individuals within the Trump campaign to withdraw from the race.
Today, Congresswoman Deborah Ross released the following statement after recent revelations about GOP gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson:
RALEIGH — Brace yourself. The arrival of Labor Day traditionally begins the homestretch of electoral campaigns. You may well join millions of fellow voters in utter exhaustion with the politics of 2024. But I promise you the candidates and their surrogates are raring to run this final leg of the race.
RALEIGH — Donald Trump will likely win North Carolina’s 16 electoral votes this year. Our state is a political battleground, no question about it, but in presidential races the Democratic Party always runs a bit uphill here.
As our state’s March 5th presidential primary approaches, North Carolinians will be faced with an important choice. After the last few years of record inflation thanks to wasteful government spending, a broken immigration system, and the American energy spigot being turned off, it’s obvious that the Biden administration is not up to the task of effectively leading our country.
Since the turn of the 20th century, North Carolina voters have picked Republicans for governor just four times: Jim Holshouser in 1972, Jim Martin in 1984 and 1988, and Pat McCrory in 2012. In each case, there was no Democratic incumbent. In each case, the GOP presidential candidate also won North Carolina.
RALEIGH — Most of the executive-branch offices comprising North Carolina’s Council of State are either open seats in 2024 or will feature highly competitive races in both the primary and general elections. But none has attracted as many candidates as lieutenant governor.
After eight years as state treasurer of North Carolina — and prior public-service roles as school-board member, assistant commerce secretary, and four-term state legislator — Dale Folwell is running for governor in 2024.
Colonel (Ret.) Laurie Buckhout (R) is campaigning throughout Congressional District 1 to unseat incumbent Rep. Don Davis (D) in the 2024 election. The self-described constitutional conservative believes her military background provides her with leadership skills that would benefit her constituents. She also believes the current Republican Party is fractured.
Congresswoman Deborah Ross will file for reelection to represent North Carolina’s Second Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. She is running for her third term representing this seat, which includes most of Wake County.
Former pastor and Congressman Mark Walker officially filed to run in NC’s Sixth Congressional District amid an outpouring of support from over 40 members of Congress, sheriffs, and local leaders.
Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) filed for reelection to represent Rockingham and Guilford counties in the North Carolina Senate.
