NCAAT in Action endorses Cheri Beasley to represent North Carolina in the U.S. Senate.
As a former judge and Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, Cheri Beasley has spent her time in public service keeping communities safe, protecting the rights of North Carolinians, and ensuring that the law is applied equally for all people. These core values are reflected in her belief that leaders should reflect the diversity of the state and encourage full participation in our democracy and society. To Beasley, this work includes engaging in intentional outreach to AAPI activists and spending time with growing AAPI communities, speaking out against anti-Asian hate and violence, and building a campaign that supports language accessibility. While working as a judge, Beasley created policies to ensure paid family leave for working people, and focused on keeping kids out of the school-to-prison pipeline; as a candidate for US Senate, she aims to grow job opportunities statewide, make healthcare accessible and affordable, and supports an improved and clearer pathway to citizenship.
“This campaign is focused on reaching out to voters in diverse communities across this state, and I’m grateful to earn the support of NCAAT in Action. Together, we can build a strong, inclusive campaign that can win in November, and in the U.S. Senate, I will fight for all North Carolinians.” — Cheri Beasley
