Roy Cooper: Supreme Court Lifting Federal Caps on Candidates Will Affect My Race More than Others

RUSH EXCERPT:

COOPER: “Probably it will affect my race more than any others in that it empowers political parties, it empowers wealthy people. And my opponent, Michael Whatley, was the chairman of the RNC, so he has access to all of that. I think this decision was the worst campaign finance decision since citizens united, because it allows virtually unlimited spending with these joint committees that they set up, that they can run the money through parties. And it really takes away the power from the small donors. One thing I want to do is encourage small donors to not let them do that. People can go to Roy Cooper.com and help us out. We really need now more than ever to stand up to this big money. We need to get rid of citizens united and its effects, and we need people that are elected who will be willing to stand up to do that, and I will.”
