In November, North Carolina will have a crucial election with a slate of MAGA Republicans on the ballot. Business leaders in the state are urging action to prevent their election, as they fear it could be disastrous for the state’s economic interests.
The concerns are mounting about the candidates that Republican primary voters have chosen. The top-of-the-ticket candidate is an anti-Semitic, election-denying, misogynist, and transphobic individual. Additionally, a home-schooling mom with no education experience has been selected as the candidate for state superintendent. These choices are so troubling that business leaders are calling for immediate action to prevent their election.
North Carolina business leaders have a critical role to play in ensuring that the state’s economic interests are protected. They can use their considerable influence to help prevent the election of candidates with harmful beliefs and policies. Now is the time for action to safeguard the state’s future prosperity.
