“Ours is the only campaign for State Treasurer that has the experience and has built the relationships in state government needed to effectively accomplish the job,” Wesley Harris said. “I have the trust of the leaders who fight for our people every single day in every conceivable venue, from the halls of the US Congress to our local school boards, and as voters begin heading to the polls this week, it’s critical that they understand I’m the only candidate who has earned this level of trust.”
In addition to the individual endorsements highlighted in the video and several other organizational endorsements, Harris has also been endorsed by EMPAC, the political action committee of the State Employees’ Association of North Carolina, and the Great Public Schools Fund, the political action committee of the North Carolina Association of Educators.
Harris is the first Democrat to receive the endorsement of both EMPAC and the Great Public Schools fund in over a decade, signaling strong support from the professional organizations representing the state employees who depend on the Treasurer’s sound management of the State Pension Plan and State Health Plan.
