Last week, we learned conservative Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, dumped up to $1.6 million in stock before the stock-market crash after he received classified nonpublic information about the severity of the pandemic AND while he was continuing to downplay the seriousness of the coronavirus in public.
It’s disgraceful. We expect our elected leaders to put our interests first. Instead, Burr decided to cash out while he still had time. North Carolina deserves better.
DFA-endorsed Democrat Cal Cunningham is running to flip a Republican-held Senate seat in North Carolina, and polls show he can win. But he needs our help.
Cal believes that quality healthcare is a right and he’s running to root out corruption in our government — like the kind we’re seeing from Richard Burr.
