DSCC Statement Congratulating Senator-Elect Cooper

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand released the following statement congratulating Senator-Elect Roy Cooper, the first Democrat to win a Senate seat in North Carolina in nearly 20 years:

“Congratulations to Senator-Elect Cooper on his historic victory, becoming the first Democrat to win this seat since 2008. He will take his fight to make stuff cost less and ensure the American Dream is achievable for every North Carolinian to the Senate, and we cannot wait to work with him. Roy has never lost an election because North Carolinians know he is a true leader and champion for his state. He has dedicated his life to serving North Carolina in the state legislature, as Attorney General, as a two-term governor, and now, as U.S. Senator. Roy has always brought people together to build a North Carolina that works for everyone – and in the Senate, he’ll carry on the fight to be a voice for every North Carolinian, from the mountains to the coast.”
