Former four-term North Carolina Attorney General and two-term Governor (FEC S6NC00407), running on the middle class, health care, and corporate accountability.

The record he's running on

As Governor, Cooper secured a bipartisan Medicaid expansion covering 650,000+ North Carolinians and incentivized hospitals to relieve more than $4B in medical debt for 2M people; previously four terms as Attorney General.

A cash-on-hand fortress

$18.5M banked against $0 in debt — among the largest war chests of any 2026 Senate candidate, and roughly seven times the leading Republican's cash (Michael Whatley, $2.5M).

Markets see a coin-flip

Kalshi's party-level North Carolina market puts the Democratic side at 50% — a genuine toss-up for an open seat that was last decided by under two points (2020).
