John, it's official: Dan Forest is running against Roy.

Dan Forest launched his campaign on Saturday and aired his first political ad, making it clear that he's ready to reverse the progress we've made under Roy's leadership.

Roy has been fighting every single day to try to make life better for all North Carolinians.

Even in the face of the right-wing opposition, Roy has never wavered from putting the needs of North Carolinians first.

Here's the thing: the progress we've made in North Carolina wouldn't be possible without the support of each and every one of you.

So, John, we have a quick request. Roy needs to know you have his back as our campaign prepares for the race ahead. Can you take a moment to sign our petition and let Roy know you're with him?

Forest is proudly aligning himself with the ugly, divisive politics of Donald Trump - while claiming he wants to represent "all" North Carolinians.

That is, of course, unless you want to control your own reproductive health choices, you make our great state more diverse, or you identify as LGBTQ.

Our campaign believes that North Carolinians want politics that does more than claims to be inclusive, we believe you all want someone who will walk the walk every day.

That's exactly what Roy will do. As he continues to work on finding common-sense solutions to the challenges that face our state and keep moving us forward, knowing you have his back would mean the world to him and the entire team.

Thank you from all of us,

Cooper Campaign
