New NC ‘bathroom’ ad was used before – in Texas

A controversial new ad that ties Democrat Roy Cooper to Charlotte’s nondiscrimination ordinance is the same one that helped overturn a similar ordinance last year in Houston.

Tami Fitzgerald, executive director of the N.C. Values Coalition, called the 30-second spot “an incredibly powerful new ad” in a message to supporters Wednesday.

The ad opens with a narrator saying, “Roy Cooper’s bathroom plan – what does it mean to you?”
