Former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper is running for North Carolina's open Senate seat.
As part of that effort, Cooper is trying to project an image of himself as the second coming of former West Virginia Senator and conservative Democrat Joe Manchin.
But Cooper's investments tell a different story: It turns out the Democrat has plowed tons of money into funds managed by ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) investment titans.
Cooper filed an updated personal financial disclosure form (PFD) with the United States Senate on August 13. On that PFD, Cooper discloses between $2,605,039 and $5,876,001 invested with two investment houses: Vanguard and Charles Schwab. Both have prioritized ESG investing heavily in recent years.
None of Cooper's money sits with explicitly branded ESG funds offered by either Schwab or Vanguard.
