Following State Senator Jeff Jackson’s announcement that he is dropping out of the U.S. Senate race and endorsing former North Carolina Chief Justice Cheri Beasley, North Carolina Democratic Party Chair Bobbie Richardson released the following statement:

“I commend Senator Jackson and his team on an admirable and hard-fought campaign and am grateful for his voice in the primary. As we look forward to 2022, North Carolina Democrats stand strong, unified, and ready to take on whichever Republican emerges from the battle on the other side.”
