Roy Cooper's Senate Campaign Tied to Dark-Money Group, Raising Ethical Concerns
Former North Carolina Governor and current Senate candidate Roy Cooper has been linked to a dark-money group, Moving NC Forward, which has raised ethical questions about his past appointments. Records indicate that Cooper, during his tenure as governor, appointed individuals connected to this group to significant state positions. Moving NC Forward, a nonprofit formed in 2017, is known for its political advocacy without disclosing donor information. The group has been associated with Cooper's political agenda, and its board members, including former Democratic Party chairman Tom Hendrickson, have received state appointments. Hendrickson, along with his family, has contributed significantly to Cooper's campaign. The group has also been involved in fundraising events featuring Cooper and his staff. Cooper is currently running for the U.S. Senate, facing Republican Michael Whatley, with a notable lead in recent polls.
