Wayne Goodwin's campaign for Insurance Commissioner received yet another significant endorsement recently.

The North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) awarded him with a strong endorsement in the 2008 campaign for Insurance Commissioner.

Goodwin's outstanding legislative record on behalf of public education and his pledge to continue the watchdog role that Jim Long has had were especially persuasive.

After considering detailed answers to questions and topics posed by its members, and then inviting him in for a personal interview before approximately 50 representatives from all across the Tar Heel state, the Committee on Political Education (COPE) of the NC State AFL-CIO unanimously endorsed Wayne Goodwin on Thursday in the Democratic primary for Insurance Commissioner.

When the membership examined the policy positions and individual backgrounds of the three candidates for Insurance Commissioner, they unanimously determined that only Wayne Goodwin would be an Insurance Commissioner who would fight for working families and consumers.
