FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEOctober 17, 2026Contact: [email protected] LILLINGTON - Today, Michael Whatley hosted a Protect Our Kids Press Conference in Lillington. Whatley alongside NC State Senator Jim Burgin, NC State Representative Howard Penny, Harnett County Sheriff Wayne Coats, and Harnett County Sheriff Republican Nominee Aaron Meredith discussed Roy Cooper's failure to protect our children, including his veto of bills to stop the transgender mutilation of kids, the Parents Bill of Rights, and to keep men out of girls sports. As your next Senator, Whatley will fight Cooper's radical extremist agenda and protect common-sense conservative values. Click HERE to see photos of the event. "Roy Cooper's radical transgender agenda is wrong for North Carolina families. Every time he has been given the chance he has bowed to the woke mob rather than stand with our families. As governor, he vetoed bills to keep men out of girls' sports and stop the transgender mutilation of our kids. Now, Candidate Cooper wants you to forget that Governor Cooper sided with the radical transgender extremists over our families. As your Senator, I will always stand up for our families to ensure we have safe kids and safe communities once again," said Michael Whatley. |
