John,

During my time in office, I was privileged to work alongside so many steadfast and dedicated public servants who love North Carolina.

Governing a state well requires teamwork. All that we accomplished — from enacting Medicaid Expansion to building our clean energy economy — was only possible because of the many people who committed their careers to creating a better North Carolina. Getting the opportunity to lead our state and serve with these amazing people these past eight years has been an extraordinary honor.

You have been important to our success, John. Being born here was luck, but being Governor of North Carolina became possible because people like you came together, with God’s guidance and blessings, to help me.

It’s not easy to unseat an incumbent governor, but that’s what we did when I ran in 2016. That year, and again in 2020, we won critical victories even when Donald Trump carried the state. That wouldn’t have happened if folks like you hadn’t joined me in the fight.

Thank you for your help as supporters during my campaigns for governor and throughout the past eight years.

Together we have made a difference. We put together a website where you can look back on some of our achievements, and I hope you’ll take a minute to look at the videos and read about them.

While I’m proud of all we’ve accomplished so far, I know there’s more work ahead for our state and our country, and I know it won’t be easy. I’m grateful to have you with me.

Very truly yours,

Roy Cooper
