Thank you to NC Supreme Court Justices @Anita_Earls & @AllisonJRiggs for visiting House District 27 Monday for "Bringing the Capital to the Constituents" ! They shared why judicial elections matter & how NC Supreme Court decisions affect daily life across our state. #ncpol

Today marks the 160th anniversary of the ratification of the Civil Rights Act in NC, and I was glad to attend the North Carolina State Capitol's event commemorating this important step toward justice in our state's history.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of speaking with brilliant law students currently taking an Election Law & Voting Rights Seminar at Duke. I'm always inspired after spending time with the next generation of jurist!s.

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.

Last month, I got to attend both the district court judges and superior court judges fall conferences. As a unified judicial system, it’s important that members of the Supreme Court understand the challenges facing our district and superior court judges. I promise to always be

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments this week, and my clerks and I spent a lot of time preparing. I'll be in Court doing the job you elected me to do -- and you can follow along. Oral arguments are found on our YouTube channel, here: https://t.co/QnAb3fVr9s

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.
