Berger Responds to Rand Resignation

Raleigh, N.C. – Senate Republican Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) issued the following statement in response to the news of Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand’s (D-Cumberland) plans to resign.

“Senator Rand has had a long and distinguished career in the North Carolina Senate and maintained a deep respect for Senate traditions. While he and I have often disagreed on matters of policy, he was always someone who kept his word. Given the dramatic leftward drift of the State Senate Democratic Caucus, Senator Rand increasingly found his views at odds with his more liberal Democratic colleagues and that may have led to this decision.”
