Roy Cooper Campaign Spends $277,312 on Security as Republicans Press Soft-on-Crime Attack

Summary
$277,312.28 in FEC-reported payments went from Roy Cooper’s Senate campaign to Foresight Solutions and Frontpoint for security-related services during the 2026 cycle.
Republicans seized on the spending to argue hypocrisy, tying it to Cooper’s record on policing, ICE cooperation, criminal-justice changes and COVID-era inmate releases as governor.
Cooper’s campaign countered that he spent years as attorney general and governor backing tougher bail rules, anti-drug measures and law-enforcement raises, while accusing GOP rival Michael Whatley of his own public-safety hypocrisy.
The exchange adds a sharper crime-and-security line of attack to North Carolina’s Senate race, with both sides framing public safety as a central voter issue.
