A Charlotte Observer and News & Observer article on the hotly contested Republican primary in North Carolina’s U.S. Senate race quoted expert insights from John Locke Foundation President John Hood. N.C. Senate Republicans promoted in their daily press emails Hood’s columns on the Senate race, the wise decision to end salary supplements tied to teachers’ academic degrees, and potential benefits from the state’s new road funding formula, along with a news release highlighting Hood’s recent analysis of academic research supporting a fiscally conservative approach to promoting economic growth.

The Senate GOP also highlighted Carolina Journal Associate Editor Barry Smith‘s article on the Republican primary in the 6th District congressional race, Associate Editor Dan Way‘s report on expert analysis of the U.S. Senate Republican primary, and contributor Joe Johnson‘s profile of the Democratic primary in N.C. Senate District 28.
