Laurie Buckhout has thrown her hat in the ring to lose in NC-01 (again).
“Laurie Buckhout can’t seem to take no for an answer. Voters already made it clear they have no interest in her, but she can’t take the hint. If she wants to throw away millions more dollars, there has to be a better way to do it,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Monica Venzke.
Laurie Buckhout:
- Defended Trump’s tariffs that imposed a $1,000 tax increase last year on North Carolinians while also hurting farmers.
- Has barely lived in North Carolina.
- Was a supporter of 2024 gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson, infamous for his horrifically racist, homophobic, and sexist comments and internet forum posts.
- Was charged with a DUI.
