By BRYAN ANDERSON Associated Press/Report for America
RALEIGH (AP) The first Black woman to serve as chief justice on the North Carolina Supreme Court announced her entry Tuesday into the state’s highly competitive U.S. Senate race.
Cheri Beasley formally declared her bid for the Democratic nomination after months of deliberation. She joins four other Democrats who have already begun campaigning to fill the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Richard Burr.
“I’m running to fight for the people of North Carolina,” Beasley said in an interview. “I have run successfully twice, and people know me differently. I do have a very different record. I’ve been a judge for more than 20 years, and I’ve led a branch of government.”
