North Carolina
Michael Whatley and Roy Cooper
Michael Whatley
Roy Cooper
Who is in this race?
Whatley led a national political party group. Cooper served as North Carolina's governor.
What does the archive look at?
The archive compares their work, plans, and views on health care and jobs.
Where does campaign money come from?
It lists money from several pro-Israel political groups for both people. The archive says those groups must not all be called AIPAC.
What still needs checking?
The archive has not settled how to label money from groups other than AIPAC.
Five things to look at
- Health care
- Jobs and money
- Safety and fairness
- War and military spending
- Children and families
Ask the same questions about both people. Look at what they did, not just what they said.
What do these words mean?
PAC: A group that raises or spends money in politics.
Outside spending: Money a group spends to help or oppose a candidate. It is not always a gift to the campaign.
Pending: We still need to check.
Flag: Something the archive asks readers to look at more closely. A flag is not proof of wrongdoing.
