Democrats still in the dumps over last year’s elections have found cause for optimism in North Carolina, where former Gov. Roy Cooper jumped into the race for that state’s newly open seat with a vow to address voters’ persistent concerns about making ends meet.

Cooper’s plainspoken appeal represents the latest effort by Democrats to find their way back to power.
