RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Groups seeking to defeat North Carolina Republican Gov. Pat McCrory or Democratic challenger Roy Cooper have unveiled online and door-to-door efforts this fall to accomplish their goals.
The state chapter of conservative Americans for Prosperity announced Monday it would spend at least $100,000 in mail and digital advertising urging people to vote against Cooper, the current attorney general. AFP cites Cooper’s unwillingness to challenge President Barack Obama’s plan to limit greenhouse gas emissions the group says will raise residential power bills.
Political arms of Planned Parenthood also said Monday they’re spending at least $1 million on a broader effort opposing McCrory, U.S. Sen. Richard Burr and Donald Trump. One of these abortion-rights groups plan $400,000 in digital ads and another is running videos criticizing McCrory’s record on women’s health issues.
