Cooper reserves $7 million in TV ads

Attorney General Roy Cooper’s campaign announced Friday that it has scheduled a major TV ad buy leading up to the November general election.

The campaign has reserved $7 million in advertising for nine weeks, starting Sep. 6.

“Roy Cooper has a clear vision to create better paying jobs for North Carolinians while Gov. McCrory continues to put his partisan political agenda first,” campaign manager Trey Nix said in the announcement. “Heading into November, we are in a strong position to convey that message to voters across the state.”
