Republican leadership in the General Assembly has failed to pass a budget, failed to pay our teachers and law enforcement what they deserve, and failed to fully fund Medicaid. And now they are failing the voters of North Carolina.

It was a full circle moment to spend the one-year milestone of Hurricane Helene in Lansing with people who inspired me so much during my first visit last year.

Hurricane Helene isn’t just a story of destruction and pain. It’s also a story of resilience and grit. The people of western North Carolina are strong, and we will stand by them every step of the way.

Cal Raleigh of Cullowhee in Jackson County continues to amaze — with two homers last night, he now has 56 for the season, tying Ken Griffey Jr.’s record for most by a Mariner and breaking Mickey Mantle’s for most by a switch hitter. He already has the most by a catcher. He’s making NC proud!

This is why in my budget, I called for a stipend for teachers to buy school supplies, in addition to making starting teachers the highest paid in the southeast. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/a...
NC teachers spend more than peers in 48 states on classroom supplies, study shows
While teachers around the country are paying more for school supplies, NC educators spend 60% more than the national average.

I’ve known Roy Cooper for 25 years, and I’m proud to call him my friend. He’ll make an amazing Senator for us. Here’s one North Carolina vote he can count on next year.
I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina.

For as long as I can remember, Fergie has been my hero. He was a steadfast champion of civil rights and spent his life fighting for the betterment of others. He was also incredibly charismatic, charming, and kind. And, to my entire family, but especially my dad Adam, he was a dear friend.
