🚨BREAKING🚨
NC House Republicans just PASSED the Relief at the Pump Act, suspending state fuel taxes.
Lower prices at the pump and more money in your pocket is a HUGE win for North Carolinians.
Jake Johnson retweeted
Today, @SenatorBerger and I called the NC General Assembly back to Raleigh this Wednesday at noon so we can tackle rising fuel prices and deliver real relief for North Carolina families, farmers, and businesses.

Rising fuel costs are squeezing North Carolina families’ pocketbooks and creating challenges for farmers across the state.
North Carolinians can’t afford to wait.
Today, @SenatorBerger and I are calling for a special session of the General Assembly to provide immediate relief at the pump.
More details forthcoming.

Happy Dolly Day!
On this “9 to 5” day, @ErinforNC and the House honored Dolly Parton’s incredible legacy of promoting childhood literacy and putting books in the hands of kids across North Carolina.

NEW AD 📺: @ChiefPenland's job is to run towards the chaos. He did that during Hurricane Helene.
But not politician Lindsey Prather. She voted against WNC's recovery funding & followed her party bosses.
She abandoned her people.
Anthony Penland won't leave you behind. #ncpol

It was great to see such a strong turnout yesterday in support of Chelsea Walsh. An excellent kickoff to the campaign and a great start to the road ahead!

House Republicans FOUGHT for higher teacher pay, and we delivered.
Educators back in the classroom this week receive:
✅ 8% average pay raise—highest in decades
✅ Boosted starting teacher pay
Our teachers work hard for NC. They deserve a bigger paycheck, and that’s exactly what they’re getting.

@RepJakeJohnson breaking down what responsible energy policy looks like at the Rainey Center's Energize America 2030 NC State Policy Lab. More power on the grid drives supply up and cost down. That's not a slogan, that's how you actually protect ratepayers.

This is Jaime Santiago Corona, a three-time deported illegal immigrant who has been arrested in Pitt County and charged with killing a 6 year-old girl.
Just a few weeks ago, House Democrats introduced HB 1183, which would prohibit North Carolina law enforcement officers from assisting federal immigration authorities. #ncpol

Just so we are ALL CLEAR on what happened today...
Educators and school administrators single-handedly CANCELLED SCHOOL for 700,000 North Carolina students...
...INCLUDING MY SON!!!
To wave signs around in the street instead.
The signs vary from:
a) F**K ICE!!!
b) Defeat Trump's Agenda
c) Trump is a N*ZI
d) ICE OUT!!!
e) Protect trans kids
f) Refuse fascism
g) Stop bombing schools
DO NOT TELL ME THIS WAS ABOUT KIDS.
IT NEVER WAS.
This was ADULTS using 700,000 children, INCLUDING MINE, as political leverage against a president they don't like.
That is despicable.
You know better... DO BETTER.

Your kids are not at school today because their teachers wanted to protest Trump and the school admins went along with it and approved it
The entire school system needs to be shut down
A Trump = Hitler banner spotted at the NCAE ‘education’ protest in Raleigh. Is this the kind of political ideology making its way into North Carolina classrooms? #ncpol

Wilsons Home Care received $12 million in taxpayer dollars, yet they currently have two abandoned buildings listed as offices… #ncpol

Number one in the South.
That’s @ncspeakerhall and the NC House’s goal for starting teacher pay.
It’s time for our state to lead the way when it comes to education. #ncpol

Today, I had the opportunity to meet the fearless State and Local leaders of western North Carolina who are rebuilding their communities after the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
I saw first hand hurricane damage still present and will be making sure @FEMA relief continues to help Americans rebuild their homes and communities.
I am humbled and honored to serve the citizens of our great Homeland. Thanks for having me.
