(Charlotte, NC) — The LIBRE Initiative Action, a Latino political group committed to supporting candidates who want to advance freedom-minded solutions, today officially endorses Michael Whatley in his bid for the U.S. Senate from North Carolina.
Whatley is the leader North Carolina needs to champion policies that increase affordability, expand economic opportunity, strengthen families, and ensuring the American Dream is affordable.
Key Points: Why LIBRE Action Supports Michael Whatley
- Whatley served in the U.S. Department of Energy, giving him valuable experience in energy policy at a time when North Carolina continues to play an important role in America’s energy economy.
- As Latinos are projected to represent nearly 30% of new workers entering the energy sector, North Carolina needs leaders who understand how energy policy supports jobs, economic growth, and opportunity for working families.
- Whatley oversaw President Trump’s transition team efforts on agriculture, energy, and environmental policy, equipping him to address rural workforce shortages that affect farmers and agricultural communities across the state, many of which rely on Latino workers.
- Whatley previously worked in banking policy, providing him with experience on issues that affect homeownership, lending, and financial opportunity for North Carolina’s growing population of Latino homeowners.
- His experience in economic and financial policy positions him to help ensure that families across North Carolina, including the growing Latino community, have the opportunity to buy homes, build businesses, and create generational wealth.
Sandra Benitez, Senior Advisor to LIBRE Action, released the following statement:
“Michael Whatley represents a bold, principled vision for North Carolina, one that aligns with LIBRE Action’s commitment to economic freedom and affordability, limited government, and opportunity for all. His proven leadership experience, including his work in both the private and public sectors, uniquely positions him to deliver real results.
Whatley will fight to cut wasteful spending, lower taxes, and reduce the regulatory burden that makes it harder for Latino entrepreneurs and families to succeed. He understands that strong, sustainable economic growth and affordability is the foundation of lasting opportunity.
As North Carolina enters a pivotal Senate race, we are proud to mobilize our grassroots army, volunteers, and Latino supporters behind a candidate who shares our values and has the drive to defend them in Washington. Michael Whatley will be a vocal champion for pro-growth policies that expand the American Dream.”
