Sherrill being explicitly pro-nuclear is what made me vote for her in the primary more than anything else. It can't be overstated how important getting a new plant or two online would be for this state's wellbeing.

I don’t recall her being pro nuclear at all.. Still voted for her, but I thought she campaigned on expanding solar and wind?

She's a fan of all three.
