Forest won't answer questions for voters guide, says they 'don't reflect reality' [View all]

Raleigh, N.C. — Lt. Gov. Dan Forest refused this week to answer questions for a routine WRAL News online voters guide, with his gubernatorial campaign saying the questions "don't reflect reality."

Among the questions: "If elected, what are your top 3 priorities?"

Other questions dealt with the state's coronavirus response, school funding, Medicaid expansion and systemic racism.

WRAL publishes a voters guide most election seasons, and the question-and-answer portion of this year's guide is set to go live Thursday. Forest's campaign got the same questions as Gov. Roy Cooper's, and those questions also went out to candidates for lieutenant governor and to candidates in General Assembly races.

Similar questions went out to candidates in other Council of State races. Forest's campaign was the only one to complain about the questions.
