Republican candidate Patrick McCrory posed the question during the recent NC Gubernatorial Debate, "What would Andy Taylor, the character of Mayberry, be saying...I think he'd be saying what sheriffs around North Carolina are saying."

Here's what Sheriffs around North Carolina are saying:

"Bev Perdue [D-NC] is not only good for law enforcement, she's good for North Carolina."

Bev Perdue has been endorsed by:

-The North Carolina Police Benevolent Association

-The National Association of Police Organizations

-North Carolina Sheriff and Police Alliance

-The NC Troopers Association

In fact, all law enforcement agencies that have endorsed thus far, have endorsed Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Bev Perdue.
