Before campaign attack, Whatley urged stronger prison COVID response
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Michael Whatley criticizes former Gov. Roy Cooper for a 2021 prison settlement that allowed early inmate releases but previously supported calls for stronger prison protections during the pandemic. Whatley and NCGOP, which he led, had earlier criticized Cooper for insufficient action on prison conditions amid the crisis.
