Richard Moore is noting his endorsement of Barack Obama in radio ads.
In a 60-second ad, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate's campaign focuses on his efforts on the minimum wage, his endorsement of Obama, his plans to increase child care and health benefits and cut property taxes and make community college free.
"While others waited, Richard Moore, helped lead the fight to increase the minimum wage and we won," notes a female narrator.
"The same Richard Moore was the first Democrat running for governor to endorse Barack Obama for president," notes a male narrator.
Moore endorsed Obama on Feb. 23; Beverly Perdue, on March 13.
The ad aired statewide for the last couple of weeks — before a mailer sent by Perdue to black households touting her endorsement of Obama.
It is no longer on the air.
