On Veterans’ Day, I’m thinking of my dad who served 30 years in uniform and the millions of veterans & service members who keep us safe. As a proud military daughter, I also celebrate families of military service members who have sacrificed so much on behalf of our country.

Yesterday was a special chance for the NC Supreme Court to celebrate our clerks and swear in many of them. I'm lucky to have these three incredible young women working for me in my chambers!

Belated happy 76th birthday to my dad! He's been through the ringer with me in the last year, supporting me in my campaign and having his vote challenged. We celebrated last week with snacks/football watching on the porch and a nice dinner.
