Instead of passing a budget to fund our public schools and continue North Carolina’s economic growth, the GOP majority is focused on rigging Congress. The General Assembly should be in session addressing our state’s critical needs rather than passing politically-motivated maps.

Republicans are taking away a congressional seat in North Carolina because they need extra votes to double down on their unpopular agenda: — cuts to Medicaid — cuts to food subsidies — cuts to millionaires’ taxes

Here we go! Rep. Brenden Jones makes it clear that the redistricting bill we’re voting on today has one goal: Give the Republicans a congressional seat that they can’t win on the merits!

Taking care of our law enforcement officers and teachers doesn’t matter. Ensuring North Carolinians can go to the doctor doesn’t matter. All that matters to Republicans is power, by hook or by crook.

This is how freedom dies! We could just compete for votes on an equal footing and let the best ideas win but NC Republicans would rather rig the game. https://t.co/VKy1Z67N73

On Monday, Oct. 13, North Carolina Republican lawmakers announced plans to vote on redrawing the state's U.S. House District map.

Great to be in my community of Fairview this morning as we remember the devastation of Helene. The story of this storm was the way we all came together and we’re still doing it a year later.

Breaking: Complete victory for western NC and AmeriCorps. The federal government has abandoned its unlawful attempt to defund the program. We sued because the executive branch broke the law - and it knew it would lose. Great news for recovery efforts in western NC.

Republicans in the General Assembly are two months late in producing a state budget because they cannot agree with one another. North Carolinians deserve better from our #NCGA leadership. #ncpol

It’s been nearly two months since the initial July 1 deadline for North Carolina lawmakers to pass a state budget, and top Democrats say Republicans are not doing their jobs.

This is why so many are frustrated by politics. But there is a solution. Hold your representatives accountable. It’s time to replace these folks with good Democrats focused on the people and not special interests. https://t.co/mxOo4sTtKH

After a company that sells camera technology donated to a Republican fund, lawmakers passed legislation that could make it millions.

When your power bill goes up in the next few years, blame Republicans. They made it clear today that they care more about the power company and the fossil fuel industry than about regular folks trying to pay their power bill.

We’ll see a lot of political distraction from Republicans in the coming months. But bottom line, they have failed to govern or lead this year in Raleigh.
Session was supposed to start at 1 today. They pushed it back to 2. It's 2:40 now. We're ready to talk about a state budget and disaster relief. Where are the Republicans? #ncpol #ncga

Lest we forget WNC is still suffering following the storm. I heard yesterday that the NC Senate is holding up the relief bill already passed by the House to use as leverage. It’s despicable. WNC should not be used as a pawn in Phil Berger’s political games. #ncpol #wncstrong

Gotta love spring in the mountains. Shelling peas on a wet morning is so much better for the soul than watching the current political chaos in Washington.

WNC can’t wait! We need the NC Senate to pass the Helene Relief Bill now. Having relief funding get mucked up in the budget negotiations would be the wrong outcome for communities like Swannanoa.
Today, Reps. @PratherForNC and @ager_eric spoke at a press conference with residents of Swannanoa, a community hit particularly hard by Hurricane Helene. They need support from the #NCGA as soon as possible. We need to act on further aid to #WNC. #ncpol

Yet another reason that @BrianTurnerNC , @PratherForNC , @ager_eric & I introduced HB 599 "Award @ncforestservice Pay Increase" this session to give those employees a raise they've earned. An amendment for another raise I introduced in Appropriations was also voted down. #ncpol
The latest economic numbers for North Carolina’s forest sector are in, and forestry continues to be the top manufacturing sector in the state.
