NRCC Chairman Hudson Statement on Michael Whatley’s Senate Announcement

July 31, 2025

NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC) issued the following statement following Michael Whately’s entrance in the North Carolina Senate race:

“Michael Whatley is exactly the kind of conservative leader North Carolina needs, tough, tested, and committed to putting America First. A native of Western North Carolina and a fellow UNC Charlotte alum, Chairman Whatley has built the most successful state Republican Party in the country and is now leading the RNC with that same energy and vision. He’s a battle-tested conservative who will fight for working families, help deliver President Trump’s agenda, and stand up to the Swamp. North Carolina would be lucky to have him in the Senate.”
