Incumbent Representative Pearl Burris-Floyd Gets Support from Council of State Member

House Representative Pearl Burris-Floyd (NC-110^th) continues to garner support from all parts of her house district and throughout the state as her reputation grows as one of a sound conservative that serves her constituents well.

After receiving recognition from the Republican National Committee for her service in the North Carolina General Assembly, Burris-Floyd has now received the endorsement of Commissioner of Labor Cherie Berry.

Berry’s endorsement is an important tie between the state’s preeminent labor official and Representative Burris-Floyd. The Gaston County native recently ranked in the top 25% tier of conservative voting as determined by The Civitas Institute. Dallas, North Carolina’s “Pearl” continues to earn the trust of the people she serves and the increased respect of her colleagues throughout the Tar Heel State as a friend of economic development and jobs, traditional American principles, family values, smaller government, our Constitution, and second amendment rights.

Below is Commissioner Berry’s endorsement statement of Representative Burris-Floyd:

“Pearl Burris-Floyd is an outstanding asset to the people of the 110th House District and has my full support in her re-election campaign.

“Pearl is a tireless worker on behalf of the people she represents and promotes the best of the Republican Party in all aspects of her life.

“Her integrity and intelligence makes her a standout in the halls of the General Assembly.

“The Republican Women’s Caucus, comprised of current and past members of the General Assembly, will do everything within our power to help the voters of the 110th District return her to Raleigh as their representative.

“Pearl has earned the trust and respect of all of us and deserves to be re-elected.

“Thank you for your continued support of Pearl Burris-Floyd.

“Cherie Berry, Commissioner of Labor”
