“North Carolina is Kay Hagan’s home. She has lived here most of her life. She is involved in the everyday life of the state. North Carolina needs that perspective in the U.S. Senate.”
(Charlotte Observer, 10/12/08)

“Given the current deficits and the international economic crisis, our national leaders must start showing more fiscal responsibility. The coming years will require a practical, reform-minded, hard-working senator for North Carolina. We think Hagan will fill the bill.”
(Durham Herald-Sun, 10/17/08)

“She can become an outstanding U.S. senator”
(Greensboro News and Record, 10/5/08)

“Kay Hagan has the potential to be an excellent senator for North Carolina. The Journal endorses her enthusiastically.”
(Winston-Salem Journal, 10/10/08)

“Hagan lives, works and raised her family in North Carolina. The forcefulness and hard work that earned her the chairmanship of one of the most important Senate committees, her extensive understanding of the state’s economic, educational and environmental needs and her proven record of being able to work with her fellow lawmakers to get things done would better serve North Carolina. For that reason, she gets our recommendation.”
(Asheville Citizen-Times, 10/9/08)

“Imagination, and a belief that change is possible — there are some cornerstones in Hagan’s campaign. She is well-informed, not just well-meaning. She is astute. Her record in Raleigh indicates she knows how to make a legislative system work. It forecasts a promising career in the U.S. Senate.”
(Raleigh News & Observer, 10/22/08)

“In her 10 years, she rose to the ranks of leadership to become one of the Senate’s primary budget writers and deal-makers. She helped push for a $3 billion bond issue to fund the state’s public schools, universities and community colleges. Washington is a lot different from Raleigh, but a knowledgeable, energetic and assertive politician such as Hagan can provide strong representation.”
