TO THE EDITOR:
Last week, Elaine Marshall was declared the victor in the Democratic primary to compete against (Sen.) Richard Burr (R-N.C.) in the fall election.
Cal Cunningham should be applauded for running a strong campaign, and now that he has endorsed Marshall, it is time for Democrats to come together to defeat Richard Burr in the fall.
Elaine Marshall has served as the secretary of state in North Carolina for more than a decade and was the first woman to be elected statewide.
As secretary of state, she has a strong record of protecting consumers and supporting strong regulations on corporate lobbying. She is a strong champion of public education and supports decreasing standardized testing in our public schools and increasing funding for Pell Grants.
Students at UNC have the opportunity to vote this fall to determine who will represent us in the Senate.
Let’s send a strong champion to represent our North Carolina values. Tar Heels, let’s elect Elaine Marshall to the U.S. Senate!
