McCrory announced that it’s “time to celebrate our democratic process and respect what I see to be the ultimate outcome of the closest North Carolina governor’s race in modern history.”

I love that point of view!!

I’m in rural SW Wisconsin— about an hour west of Madison. I’m hoping there’s a chapter in Madison or Dubuque.
