News
The race for North Carolina’s open Senate seat features two leading candidates who have taken opposing paths in their bids for higher office.
Democrat Cheri Beasley, the first Black woman to be a major-party Senate nominee in North Carolina, has served for two decades as a judge and state Supreme Court justice, positions she has used to distance herself from politics-as-usual. Her candidacy has given Democrats hope in a state that former President Donald Trump carried twice, though even the most upbeat members of her party acknowledge she faces long odds.
Republican Ted Budd, by comparison, has a familiar political résumé – going from owning a small business to winning a seat in the US House of Representatives to seeking statewide office. Aided by a Trump endorsement in the primary, Budd is now running what Republicans believe is a cautious campaign, largely relying on the state’s red tilt and a favorable national environment for his party.
NBC’s Antonia Hylton joined Cheri Beasley as she campaigned in rural North Carolina ahead of a competitive Senate race in November. She discussed how her campaign is hoping to reach out to communities across the state to give them an edge.
IndyWeek, – August 24, 2022
On the campaign trail, I spoke with a woman from Yadkin County who has Type1 Diabetes and has been forced to fight with insurance companies to get coverage for the medication she needs to live—and it’s still too expensive even then. I sat with business owners in Dare County who told me about having to close their doors due to extreme flooding and the impact the climate crisis has had on the Outer Banks economy.
I talked to Democrats, Independents, and Republicans all across the state who all faced similar challenges: being able to afford their prescription drugs without skipping doses and splitting pills; finding good-paying jobs in high-demand careers without having to pay for a four-year degree; working two or three jobs to support family, addressing rising costs for farmers and supporting small businesses. These just aren’t partisan issues.
A lot of folks running for office don’t spend time in some of these smaller communities. They hear that’s not where their votes are and they believe it. But that’s not the kind of campaign I’m running. The campaign I’m running is about meeting North Carolinians where they are and showing that anyone who wants to represent our state needs to represent all its people. And while Washington politicians want us to believe that we’re all different – that a person in Asheville has near to nothing in common with a person in Avon, that a Democrat couldn’t be farther in faith and values than a Republican, that is simply not true.
About
Source: Campaign page
Cheri Beasley is a mom, former public defender, judge, and the first Black woman to serve as Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. She’s spent her life fighting to uphold the law and keep communities safe – and as U.S. Senator, she’ll fight to lower costs, create good-paying jobs and expand access to affordable, quality health care in every part of North Carolina.
“I raised my family right here in North Carolina and dedicated my life in service to this state. I know that families in our state are struggling — and Washington is not helping.
I’m running for Senate to be an independent voice who stands up for North Carolina and what’s right for our state- regardless of the politics. And I will bring the same values I was raised with — hard work, integrity, and justice — to fight for every person in our state.”
Raised by a trailblazing mom, Cheri learned the values of hard work, integrity, and justice from a young age. She and her husband Curt instilled those same values in their twin sons, Thomas and Matthew, as they raised their family in a home steeped in faith here in North Carolina.
These values guided her work, first as a public defender and judge. In 2019, Cheri rose to become the first African American woman to serve as Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. As a judge, Cheri has always acted independently and without bias to uphold the law and keep communities safe – no matter the politics.
Throughout her service, Cheri protected our constitutional rights and applied the law fairly and independently. She worked to make schools safe and strong, including working with law enforcement and educators to keep students in classrooms and out of the courtroom. She implemented paid family leave as Chief Justice to over 6,000 court employees to help people take care of their families and succeed in their jobs. Cheri created the first human trafficking court in North Carolina to hold traffickers accountable and support victims.
Cheri’s seen many of the challenges families across the state face. As a working mom, she’s spent late nights on the phone with insurance companies to make sure her sons got the medical treatment they needed. And as a judge, she’s seen how Washington has failed people here in North Carolina — and that both parties have lost touch with the people they’re sworn to serve.
In the Senate she’ll put North Carolina first and bring with her the same values of hard work, integrity, and justice that have guided her life.

Source: Campaign page
Cheri Beasley is running for the U.S. Senate for the same reason she became a public defender, a judge and then Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court: the pursuit of justice and fairness, and a relentless refusal to see it abandoned. As Chief Justice Cheri worked to keep our courts accessible, reliable, and just. As a mother to twin sons and a public servant, Cheri has seen firsthand how the laws made in Washington impact and at times fail people in North Carolina.
Too many hardworking North Carolinians have been left out and left behind. Their concerns have been left unseen, unheard and unanswered. Cheri will fight to open doors and expand opportunity for all North Carolinians, no matter where they live, what they look like, or who they love. Cheri’s priorities reflect the conversations she has been having with people throughout North Carolina about their concerns, hopes and dreams.
Grounded in faith, hard work and service, Cheri has fought for the people of North Carolina for over two decades, and is always focused on how the actions we take now will affect future generations.
Cheri will bring that same commitment, sound judgment, hard work and compassion to fighting for a better future for all North Carolinians in the U.S. Senate.
Economy & Jobs
Cheri believes we must make targeted investments in creating and growing good paying jobs, workforce development and expanding economic opportunity for all North Carolinians. Even before the pandemic times were tough and too many in our state were shut out from jobs that can support a family. The last year deepened existing challenges for workers, income inequality and the racial wealth gap.
Cheri will fight for investments in infrastructure and renewable energy to create good-paying jobs, increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour and expanding training, certification and apprenticeship programs. We must also invest in affordable childcare to help ensure our businesses have the people they need to operate and enable parents to re-enter and remain in the workforce.
To help North Carolina’s small businesses and entrepreneurs – the backbone of our economy — Cheri supports expanding programs that provide technical assistance, access to capital and help for small business owners and entrepreneurs, especially for entrepreneurs of color and women.
Cheri will fight for the dignity of work, and that North Carolinians deserve fair wages, safe working conditions and the ability to work and build a business in an environment free from discrimination. A former member of SEIU, she is a strong supporter of the labor movement and the Pro Act as well as the Paycheck Fairness Act.
Cheri will also fight to make the Expanded Child Tax Credit permanent and pass Federal Paid Family and Medical leave to help people balance work and family when welcoming a child, caring for a loved one or dealing with a personal illness, just as she created a family leave policy for North Carolina court employees when she served as Chief Justice.
Agriculture
With industries, good-paying jobs, and necessary services leaving, Cheri believes that there has never been a more important time to invest in improving the quality of life, educational opportunities and economic stability of our rural communities. Our rural communities and small towns are cornerstones of our state, but too often the hard-working North Carolinians who live there don’t get the resources, respect and support they need.
Cheri will fight for investments that support small businesses, entrepreneurs and agricultural producers and bring jobs back to North Carolina’s small towns. That includes investing in transportation, affordable broadband, clean drinking water and waste infrastructure. We also must invest in schools, health care, access to early childhood education and expand opportunities for higher education and readiness.
Agriculture is North Carolina’s largest industry and a vital part of our nation’s economy.
As Senator, Cheri will work to strengthen and grow opportunities for North Carolina farmers by supporting policies that address the challenges and uncertainty they face. She’ll support common sense policies on trade and tariffs that protect North Carolina jobs and products, help keep family farms strong and expand markets for our farmers.
Cheri also believes we must expand equitable access to capital in our small towns and rural areas and end discriminatory policies that have historically had a disproportionate impact on Black and Brown farmers.
Public Safety
KEEPING NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITIES SAFE
Cheri believes that everyone deserves to feel safe in their homes, communities, houses of worship, schools, and workplaces. But in too many communities across North Carolina and our country, bonds of trust between law enforcement and the communities they are sworn to serve are broken. As a public defender, as a judge and then as Chief Justice, Cheri has worked to protect the safety of North Carolina’s families and make the system more fair, equitable and transparent.
Cheri supports the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, and reforms including increasing investments in public safety, community policing, racial bias, de-escalation, and crisis intervention training for law enforcement. She also supports investing in resources for alternative first responders like mental health professionals and substance abuse counselors.
Having worked closely with law enforcement throughout her career she has seen the good work that law enforcement can do in keeping communities safe. She knows we must have comprehensive reforms that establish accountability, increase transparency, and put more resources into public safety – not less.
Cheri also believes that we must keep our children and communities safe by also implementing common sense gun safety measures like universal background checks, encouraging safe storage and closing loopholes to prevent domestic abusers and those with mental health issues from being able to obtain a gun. We must also do more to stop the plague of mass shootings across our communities by keeping combat-style weapons and high-capacity magazines off our streets and away from our schools.
REFORMING OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
Cheri believes that we must take action to reform our criminal justice system, ensure equal protection under the law, protect civil liberties, and strengthen public safety. As she said when she was the first Chief Justice in the nation to speak out after the murder of George Floyd, “we must openly acknowledge the disparities that exist and are too often perpetuated by our justice system.”
As a public defender, a judge and then as Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, Cheri has worked alongside attorneys, clerks, and judges to make courts more accessible, equitable, and transparent for all. She expanded drug treatment and mental health courts and established the Faith and Justice Alliance, a coalition of legal, community and faith leaders working together to help provide legal resources to low-income North Carolinians throughout the state. She also took on the school-to-prison-pipeline, expanding School Justice Partnerships, a program aimed at keeping kids in classrooms and out of courtrooms for misconduct.
Cheri will continue to fight to reform our justice system. She supports expanding the use of drug treatment and mental health courts and legalizing and regulating cannabis. She also supports reforming sentencing, including ending some mandatory minimums and ending the cash bail system particularly for nonviolent offenders. She also supports the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act and investing in reentry programs that help returning citizens successfully re-enter society after serving their time and become contributing members of our communities.
FIXING OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM
Cheri believes that America’s broken immigration system has been ignored for too long. Instead of playing politics, our leaders must focus on solutions that will fix the system and reflect our American values. Cheri knows that immigrants have strengthened and enriched our country and our state both culturally and economically.
Cheri supports comprehensive immigration reform that provides a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who are already in our country, invests in securing our borders, treats people with dignity and respect, and ensures safety for everyone. While securing our borders, reforms must reduce wait times for legal immigration, improve visa programs and ensure a fair and efficient asylum process for people seeking refuge. Cheri will also fight to protect the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program and keep our promise to DREAMers.
HONORING OUR VETERANS, SERVICE MEMBERS AND MILITARY FAMILIES
Cheri believes that we have a sacred duty to the men and women who serve in our armed forces as well as their families and the communities who support them. North Carolina has a proud military tradition with more than 100,000 active-duty military personnel, approximately 725,000 veterans and 11,000 national guard and reservists who call our state home. Our state is also home to six major military installations including Ft. Bragg in Fayetteville where Cheri and her husband Curt started their family.
Cheri will fight to ensure that the federal government honors its obligations to our service members, veterans and their families. Too many struggle to make ends meet and far too many veterans return home without access to critical services. We must expand investments to increase pay for service members, improve the infrastructure of VA health care facilities, increase resources for military families and expand the range of services the VA provides. Additionally there is more we can do to help our veterans transition to civilian life, get jobs and increase awareness of and access to VA programs.
Honoring our obligations also means ensuring federal protections for LGBTQ veterans and service members. And there is much more we must to do ensure accountability and adequate protections for service members by reforming the way the military investigates and prosecutes sexual assault.
Health & Education
EXPANDING ACCESS TO QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE
For too many North Carolinians health care is too inaccessible and unaffordable, from high prescription drug prices to a lack of local hospitals or clinics. This problem has been magnified by COVID-19, as the pandemic laid bare disparities in our medical system that have existed for generations. Cheri believes that whether you live in Chapel Hill or Cherokee every North Carolinian must have access to quality affordable health care.
Shortly after her twin sons were born, Cheri and her husband Curt learned their children would need several surgeries, treatments and doctors’ visits. Even though they had to fight with insurance companies and pay steep out-of-pocket costs over the years, Cheri and Curt consider their family lucky to have gotten their sons the care they needed. But Cheri believes luck should not determine if and when you can see a doctor.
Cheri supports expanding the Affordable Care Act with a public option, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, and protecting coverage for pre-existing conditions. She will support Governor Cooper’s efforts to expand Medicaid and will work to increase resources for rural hospitals and health care providers.
Cheri will also fight to protect and expand access to women’s reproductive health care services and supports federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
STRENGTHENING OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE
Cheri believes that our classrooms should be places of opportunity for all children to realize their abilities, pursue their dreams and gain the skills they need for 21st century jobs. But for too many North Carolina children, their zip code determines the quality of their education and their opportunity to have the best possible future.
Cheri will fight for education funding from cradle to career for all our kids. She supports investing in early childhood education, universal pre-k, and fully funding the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Cheri also believes we must invest in our teachers and increase Title I funding to help close gaps between school districts and ensure schools are funded fairly and equitably across every zip code in our state.
To expand pathways beyond high school Cheri supports programs that help students prepare for college, and believes in reforming student loan programs so that our students are not hampered by mountains of debt when they graduate. She also knows that while a four-year degree might be the right choice for some, it is not for everyone. Cheri will work to expand access to community college, apprenticeships, and vocational training programs. She will also fight to increase funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs).
Human Rights
Women’s Rights
Cheri’s mother Lou broke barriers as a university dean and a national leader in her field while raising Cheri. Cheri has worked hard to follow in her mother’s footsteps, earning her law degree, becoming a judge and serving as the first African American woman Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court.
As a working mother, she knows firsthand the challenges women can face in the workplace. As Chief Justice, she took action to establish a family leave policy for court employees to ensure people could take care of their families and be successful in their jobs.
Cheri will fight to create a federal paid family and medical leave program, ensure equal pay for equal work and strengthen workplace protections for women so that no woman fears retribution for reporting harassment or feels unsafe at work. She will also fight to expand affordable childcare to address the childcare crisis which has disproportionately impacted women, forcing millions to leave the workforce. Cheri will also fight to pass the Equal Rights Amendment to ensure gender equality under the law.
With urgent threats to reproductive freedom before the U.S. Supreme Court, and hundreds of laws passed across the country aimed at restricting reproductive freedom, Cheri believes the Senate must take action to protect women’s constitutional rights. In addition to repealing the Hyde Amendment, she supports the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would codify Roe v. Wade and protect reproductive rights so that women can get the care they need no matter where they live. That’s why she’s been endorsed by Planned Parenthood Action Fund as the candidate who will take this fight to the U.S. Senate.
PROTECTING OUR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO VOTE & STRENGTHENING OUR DEMOCRACY
Cheri believes that the right to vote is among the most sacred rights in our democracy, and every eligible voter should be able to register, cast a ballot, and have that vote counted.
In 49 states across the country, including in North Carolina, we’ve seen a wave of GOP-led anti-voter legislation seeking to erect barriers to voting and make it harder for people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. We’ve seen gerrymandering across the country and right here in North Carolina that lets leaders pick their voters, instead of voters picking their leaders. These measures disproportionately impact people of color, rural voters, disabled Americans, and young voters. It’s anti-American and anti-democratic – that’s why she opposed it on the NC Supreme Court and why she will fight against it in the US Senate.
Cheri supports the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and believes Congress must act urgently to pass both bills to protect our democracy and provide essential safeguards to ensure our constitutional rights. These measures promote transparency, fair redistricting, protect vote by mail, reduce long lines on election day, and begin to mitigate the harmful impact of anti-voter legislation already being passed in the states. The Freedom to Vote Act also restores federal voting rights to formerly incarcerated citizens who have paid their debt to society.
Cheri also believes we must take additional action to ensure our democracy lives up to our foundational values of freedom and equality by passing the Equal Rights Amendment and the Equality Act.
As a strong supporter of campaign finance reform Cheri will work to end the influence of dark money in politics and overturning Citizens United. Cheri doesn’t accept corporate PAC money because she believes leaders should be accountable to the people, not special interests. That’s why she has earned the support of End Citizens United // Let America Vote, the leading organization fighting to get dark money out of politics.
Environment & Energy
TAKING ON THE CLIMATE CRISIS AND PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT
Cheri believes that tackling the climate crisis is imperative to our health, economy, and security, and the consequences of inaction are already hurting the people of our state. Longer and more damaging hurricane seasons and extreme weather events shut down roads, cause utility prices to skyrocket, damages our military bases and grind local businesses to a halt. In the past several years alone, North Carolina has experienced multiple devastating hurricanes and storms that have left us with enormous economic damage.
Cheri supports investing in climate-resilient infrastructure, expanding our renewable energy industry and ensuring that workers across North Carolina receive the training they need for clean energy jobs. There is also more to be done modernizing our electrical grid and building codes to increase energy efficiency. Cheri will support efforts to reduce carbon emissions by 50 percent by 2030.
Cheri will fight for hurricane relief and recovery funding that helps North Carolina not only recover from storms but also build back stronger and more resilient. Under Governor Cooper, North Carolina has put forward an ambitious plan to combat climate change that requires support on a federal level. We must also act with urgency to protect North Carolina’s natural beauty for future generations and prevent efforts to drill off of North Carolina’s coast.
North Carolina is the birthplace of the environmental justice movement, and Cheri believes that we must take action to address systemic disproportionate impacts of climate change and pollution on vulnerable communities in North Carolina. She believes all North Carolinians have the right to live in safe and healthy communities with clean air, clean water, and improved waste infrastructure — especially in communities of color, low-income and indigenous communities.
IMPROVING HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
Cheri believes that home ownership and high-quality affordable rental housing are critical to families’ and individuals’ economic security and well-being. But even before the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic hardship it caused, North Carolinians across our state were struggling to pay their rent or find safe, affordable housing for themselves and their families.
Our state faces widespread shortages of affordable rental homes, and the cost of rent has more than doubled over the last 10 years on average. While the American Rescue Plan provided resources to address homelessness and moratoriums did help some people stay in their homes during the pandemic, urgent Congressional action is needed to address both short- and longer-term comprehensive solutions to the housing crisis in America.
As Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, Cheri took action during the pandemic and created a first of its kind mediation program with tenants and landlords to help people stay in their homes.
Cheri supports solutions that focus on building and expanding housing options for some of our most vulnerable including seniors, low-income families, individuals, and veterans. She believes we must also make investments for repairs and upgrades that make housing safe and energy efficient and expanding climate-resilient housing and infrastructure. We must also expand homelessness prevention programs that provide rent relief with direct payments to landlords and increase pathways to affordable home ownership. She will also fight to end discrimination in the sale, rental or financing of a home.
