Establishing a Dept. of Housing & Community Development will tackle affordable housing, homelessness, and disaster resilience. This would be a game-changer for NC, and it makes you wonder - Why doesn’t the Republican Supermajority take housing seriously?

Last night I headed over to Union Point in New Bern to join Chief Patrick Gallagher for the annual National Night Out!

Expanding the NC Housing Trust Fund not only creates affordable homes but also supports local economies and jobs. Investing in housing is investing in our future!

Public safety isn’t just about enforcement—it’s about prevention, collaboration, and safe communities. Democrats know that by investing in our law enforcement today, we’re building a stronger foundation for a safer tomorrow.

The Guarding Freedoms & Public Safety Act makes it easier for you to get the safety and storage items you need to properly protect your firearms and your family by eliminating sales tax on tools like gun safes. Unfortunately, Republicans killed this common sense gun law.

This weekend I spent some time in New Bern for a meet and mingle with some great folks graciously hosted by Mike and Tracy Zanzura. Thank y'all for letting me come talk about what we have on the line this year!

Mental health matters in public safety. SB 845 would have allocated funds to help officers get the mental health support they need, including screenings and trauma care, because our protectors deserve protection too. Senate Republicans refused to even bring it up for debate.

I had the opportunity to celebrate Fireman's Day in Dover. I have an immense appreciation for our first responders and everything they do to keep us safe!

Investing in safety means investing in the officers who serve us. That's why Dems introduced SB 847 to strengthen community policing programs, fund mental health support, and ensure agencies have access to necessary resources. Why wont Senate Republicans stand by our officers?

In 2024, Democrats introduced multiple bills to help small farms and promote sustainable agriculture. The GOP supermajority? No votes. No hearings. No concern for our farmers. Our agricultural system deserve better.

Farmers face numerous challenges every day, from rising costs to climate change. Senate Democrats introduced solutions, but Senate Republicans refused to give these bills a vote. Let’s eliminate their supermajority and change that. #FarmersDeserveBetter

Modernizing agriculture means more efficient farms, healthier food, and a stronger rural economy. That is exactly why Senate Democrats have been working to invest in a brighter, healthier future for farmers and consumers alike!

The future of farming depends on innovation and sustainable practices. Democrats introduced legislation like SB 860 to help farmers adapt to modern challenges and secure a sustainable future, but Senate Republicans couldn’t care less, and refused to put it up for a vote.

Republicans took away the Earned Income Tax Credit and have constantly refused to put it back on the table. But Senate Democrats are ready to. You deserve to keep more of what you earn, and we’ll never stop fighting for you.

Affordable housing is essential for Middle Class families, but Republicans blocked our $30M plan to support it. Dems are fighting to make homeownership possible for everyone, and we won't give up!

Investing in our future starts with investing in young families! Democrats are working to lower child care costs and build a stronger support system for working parents.

Democrats are pushing to lift families up with better wages, more affordable child care, and paid family leave. Why? Because we believe in a future where you and the ones you love come first.
