Republicans just released a 35-page 'oppo' report on this NC candidate. It backfired




BY THE OBSERVER EDITORIAL BOARD

The GOP sure has the goods on Erica McAdoo. On Thursday, NC House Republicans released a 35-page report — known as “oppo” to political insiders and observers — on the NC House 63 candidate from Alamance County. “Meet Erica McAdoo,” the @NCHouseGOP account said in a midday tweet with a photo of McAdoo holding a beer (gasp!) and having a good time at an outdoor event with friends. That same photo was in a news release that described the Democrat’s “radical agenda” and invited people to click an ominous red button to “learn more about Erica McAdoo.”

We did, and we have to say we’re not sure McAdoo will recover from the revelation that she (checks notes) got a speeding ticket 15 years ago.

Yep. That’s the dirt.

...they'd also have learned about the time when she was ten years old and, against her mom's advice, she ate a whole bag of cookies.

Oh well, live and learn as they say...

That report is something. It shows her entire voting history as a citizen and that her husband got arrested and convicted for criminal speeding in 2004. How much they paid for their house, who they bought it from, loan amount, social media posts, etc.

She is clean as a whistle and needs our support.
