Unprecedented Spending in North Carolina Primary Election
Over $10 million has been spent in a single North Carolina primary race, raising concerns about the influence of money in politics.
The primary election in North Carolina has become a battleground for unprecedented campaign spending, with more than $10 million being poured into a single State Senate race. This staggering figure has sparked concerns about the role of money in the political process and its potential to overshadow the voices of everyday voters.
The race in question is for the State Senate seat currently held by Phil Berger, who is seeking re-election. Berger, a Republican, has been a powerful figure in North Carolina politics for years, serving as the President Pro Tempore of the State Senate since 2011. His opponent, Jen Mangrum, is a Democrat who has been critical of Berger's conservative policies and the influence of money in politics.
