THE THREAT TO OUR COMMUNITIES
Tom McInnis supported legislation to legalize pari-mutuel horse wagering in North Carolina. This bill would pave the way for horse tracks and off-track betting parlors across the state. Experience from other states shows that these facilities don’t create stable jobs or healthy growth — instead, they funnel money out of local communities, increase gambling addiction, and place added strain on families already working hard to make ends meet. When gambling spreads, small businesses lose customers, crime and debt often rise, and vulnerable citizens are left to pay the price while outside gambling interests reap the rewards.
RAY DALY’S COMMITMENT TO RESPONSIBLE GROWTH
Ray Daly believes North Carolina should build its future on industries that create opportunity, stability, and dignity — not on gambling schemes that prey on working people. He stands firmly against expanding pari-mutuel wagering and other predatory betting practices. Instead, Ray is committed to policies that grow small businesses, expand job training, and strengthen industries that provide real value to families and communities. He knows that true economic development doesn’t come from gambling away paychecks, but from creating sustainable jobs that keep wealth circulating locally.
PROTECTING NORTH CAROLINA’S FUTURE
Our state deserves leaders who will protect families, not gamble with their futures. Ray Daly will fight to keep pari-mutuel horse racing and off-track betting out of North Carolina, ensuring that our economy is built on responsible growth. With his leadership, we can protect our values, safeguard our communities, and invest in opportunities that leave a stronger, healthier North Carolina for the next generation.
