I endorse Michael Byrne over Matt Smith in the Republican primary, primarily due to the strong trust law enforcement has placed in him, as evidenced by endorsements from major groups like the North Carolina Police Benevolent Association, Fraternal Order of Police, and National Association of Police Organizations—reflecting his fair and thorough handling of cases involving officers and state employees. For Republican voters seeking stability and fairness on the bench, Byrne stands out as the better option in this contest.
