With “go everywhere” strategy, Beasley breaks with

Democratic playbook for statewide races

NC Policy Watch, Kirk Ross, 8/11/2022

In her attempt to break the Democratic Party’s streak of losses in U.S. Senate races, Cheri Beasley has billed herself as a different kind of Democrat. Over the past year, perhaps the most convincing case for that has been the stops on her itineraries.

As expected, on the list are the state’s burgeoning urban centers, the core of Democrats’ base. But there have been just as many town halls and meet and greets in small towns and rural zip codes not often visited by statewide candidates.

The former Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court trails three-term congressman Ted Budd in the most recent polling, but remains within the margin of error, even in a year in which Democrats face strong headwinds.

She’s consistently raised more money than her opponent and, unlike Budd, faced little opposition in the primary. That’s allowed her to cover more ground this year. She spent much of the primary holding listening sessions around the state instead of rallies.

Thanks for reading and contributing, please excuse todays limited coverage.

I hope you have a safe week.
