Press Statement by Andy Wells: “The NC General Assembly crossed that line – the separation of powers line – in both the US and the NC Constitution when it stripped appointment powers away from the governor and gave it to themselves. I agree Governor Cooper’s administration has serious flaws. But putting politics before principle, and undermining the separation of powers principle, won’t solve problems – it will create problems.

My opponent Mark Robinson, in his press conference, declares ‘solidarity with Israel’ – the press points out his past antisemitic statements.

NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson downplays past remarks about Jews, declares Israel solidarity week Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, acting as governor while Gov.

Mark Robinson, running for governor, dodged, wouldn’t oppose casinos, or giving Vietnamese electric carmaker VinFast a billion dollars in subsidies. Now, dodging again, Mark won’t tell you where he stands on the NC Innovation.
