American families have now paid over $760 more at the pump since the war in Iran began this February. That’s $760 taken out of your pocket because my opponent and his buddies in DC are more focused on a war abroad instead of high costs at home.

North Carolina workers are the backbone of our communities and our economy. DC needs to do better by them. This Labor Day reminds us how much work’s ahead to put money back into the pockets of working families, not billionaires.
Many North Carolinians have been telling me they can’t afford such high costs at the grocery store, in the doctor's office and on their utility bills. Leaders in DC must focus on helping people afford what they need, and I’m ready to do just that.
Politicians in DC want to divide us. They pit us against each other while they help themselves and their billionaire friends. Michael Whatley will do whatever it takes to polarize us so he wins in November, but North Carolinians know they deserve better.
NC State students are ready for a change in DC, and they’re ready to elect a leader who agrees it’s possible. It'll take all of us to win. Register to vote by October 9th at iwillvote.com.
The conversations I had last night reflect the reality North Carolinians are facing everyday. Stuff like child care and rent are just too expensive for young folks like the ones I met in Charlotte, and I'm ready to go to Washington and do something about it.
Moving our country forward needs each and every person who showed up in Concord today. Thank you for sharing your stories with me and bringing the energy!
I spoke with UNC Greensboro students this morning, hearing about both their challenges and their exciting opportunities. Conversations like these are why I’m running for Senate. I’m determined to work toward a better future for our country alongside young leaders like them.
Watch my new ad: No AI. No special effects. Just Michael Whatley in his own words.
This is a campaign for everyone. Whether it’s your first political event or not, thank you for stepping up.
We’ve been at war in Iran for 181 days — that’s 6 months of putting American lives at risk. We’ve lost 18 brave service members. There’s no strategy, no exit plan & no end in sight. Whatley continues to support this war putting our service members in danger & increasing costs to people at home.
Had a great time talking with students in Chapel Hill about the importance of this election. 48 days till voting starts!
I’ve had enough of headlines like this. Farmers don’t deserve what Washington is putting them through right now, and I can guarantee my opponent won’t try to stop it.
Whatley’s career as a DC lobbyist for Duke Energy — and the up to $410,000 he still holds in their stock — shows whose side he’s on. I don’t own Duke Energy or any other company’s stock. As Senator, I’ll remain on the side of the people.
North Carolinians are sick and tired of high prices and that’s why they showed up yesterday. Great to see everyone in High Point.
Today marks one year since the horrific murder of Iryna Zarutska. Every family deserves to be safe in their community and no one should have to endure this kind of loss. I'm keeping Iryna's family and loved ones in my prayers.
In North Carolina, there are hardworking people who can’t afford their medication or a visit to the doctor. Decisions in DC have made health insurance so expensive families are sacrificing their health to save money. That’s unacceptable, and I’m running to change that.
60 days until voting starts. Beautiful day to speak with volunteers in Mecklenburg County!
The best part of these events is getting to speak with the people who come to support. Your stories inspire this campaign and my public service, and it’ll take all of us to get across the finish line. Thanks for your hospitality, Vance County.
Almost 2 million North Carolinians worked hard and paid into the system believing they’d retire with dignity. Now their social security benefits will cut by 22% if Congress doesn’t act. If you send me to the Senate, I’ll protect these hard earned benefits.
Many North Carolinians are struggling to afford the basics, but my opponent keeps saying the economy is going great. You have to recognize a problem in order to solve it.
Utility companies are charging families through the roof while reporting increased profits. Michael Whatley spent his career in DC lobbying for these same companies while he still owns their stock. If he’s elected Senator, he’ll support these companies over consumers every time.
North Carolinians cannot trust a DC insider and Big Oil and Utility Company lobbyist to put their interests first. I've spent my career in North Carolina working to make our state a better place to live and work, and I will take that mission to the Senate.
People are sick of politics in Washington nowadays, and I get why. It’s controlled by DC insiders who look out for themselves and their buddies while ignoring the very people who elected them. As your Senator, I will always put North Carolinians first.
Michael Whatley is taking thousands from the very company I sued for polluting our water with forever chemicals. We must hold companies like Chemours accountable — and my opponent cannot be trusted to do that.
