Roy Cooper speaks at the Southeastern Association of Regulatory Utilities Commissioners conference on June 3 at Renaissance Asheville Downtown Hotel. two people familiar with the matter said Monday, in part because of concerns that his Republican lieutenant governor would assume control when he travels out of state if he were selected.
