In Democracy Docket’s first-ever candidate Q&A series, we spoke with dozens of candidates running for federal and statewide office all across the country. Featuring candidates vying for competitive U.S. Senate seats like Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) to candidates in tight governor's races like Stacey Abrams in Georgia and Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D), we asked them how they plan to use their offices to protect the right to vote and defend American democracy.

Today, we published our final candidate Q&A of the 2022 cycle with Cheri Beasley, who’s running to represent North Carolina in the U.S. Senate. She outlines how her time on the bench will influence her work in the Senate, discusses the state’s ongoing redistricting process and stays neutral in the long-standing east-west barbeque debate.
