The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) Victory Fund has announced a major new investment in radio ads targeting the crucial Beasley/Budd contest for the U.S. Senate seat representing North Carolina. LCVVF is partnering with BlackPAC to invest a half-million dollars in radio advertising in that contest.
The ads highlight Beasley’s commitment to protecting the environment, lowering costs, protecting voting rights, and protecting reproductive freedom, and contrast Beasley with “extreme Trump candidate” Ted Budd, who called the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol “just patriots standing up.”
“North Carolinians have the opportunity to send their first Black female Supreme Court Chief Justice, a proven environmental champion who has spent her entire life fighting for justice, to the U.S. Senate – we’re thrilled to work with BlackPAC in support of former Chief Justice Cheri Beasley,” said Eva Estrada, LCV Victory Fund Regional Campaigns Director. “Dirty Dozen member and climate and election denier Rep. Ted Budd, on the other hand, is not just dirty – he’d be an extraordinarily dangerous senator for North Carolina and the country.”
