I love North Carolina and strongly believe that where you come from should never limit how far you can go. That’s the promise of our state. Let’s keep working to deliver on it.

I promise to always fight for you, because voters should choose their representatives, not the other way around.

People all over western North Carolina have worked their tails off to reopen their doors to the rest of us. Let’s match their urgency and dedication as we continue this work.
And if you haven’t been out west, visit! You’ll be glad you did.

With this sad loss, it falls on all of us to pick up the torch of fighting for every North Carolinian that Fergie carried with grace his entire life. Anna and I send our condolences to Jay, Taj, and Kali. May his memory be a blessing. www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/a...
