Americans for Prosperity state director Dallas Woodhouse issued the following statement in response to today’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling in an Arizona taxpayer-financed campaign case:
“The Supreme Court has now confirmed that a substantial part of North Carolina’s Public Campaign scheme is in fact unconstitutional. We will be calling on the General Assembly to immediately repeal all parts of the statute that offer taxpayer money to political candidates. We believe this law cannot be ‘fixed,’ and the only way to protect the constitutional rights of North Carolina citizens is simply to repeal these laws and no longer force taxpayers to fund political campaigns they do not support.”
