Former RNC Chairman Michael Whatley, the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate in North Carolina, talked to Clay & Buck about the Senate race, the desperate need for senators who will support President Trump’s agenda, plus some local North Carolina issues and his Democrat opponent, Roy Cooper.

I am proud to be endorsed by the North Carolina Troopers Association and am grateful for the opportunity to meet so many great members of our Law Enforcement Community and thank them for their service at the NCTA Oyster Roast in Rocky Mount.
