If you watch one thing today, make it this. Rep. Ager asks real-world questions about how H958 would affect military members and their families trying to vote. The answers show just how complicated this bill makes something that should never be complicated for those who serve our country. It's shameful. #ncpol

Today the Republican majority in the NC House reaffirmed their fealty to Donald Trump by overriding Governor Stein’s vetoes of HB 171, SB 153, SB 227, and SB 558. Time for change in North Carolina!

North Carolina hasn't passed a comprehensive budget since 2023. Today marks 1,000 days since that date. “Republican leadership continues to leave North Carolinians behind with this failure to govern." -- @electreives #ncpol #ncga nchdleader.medium.com/1-000-…

And let’s not forget, this wasn’t a partisan fight. This was a Republican Party that had the votes to pass whatever they wanted but couldn’t get their act together for nearly three years. Time for a change in the GA!

If NC lawmakers hit their target and wrap up budget votes next week, it's possible they'll snap a 1,000-day streak without passing a comprehensive budget. Last time a comprehensive budget was passed was September 22, 2023. Next Thursday would be the 1K-day mark. #ncpol

“Republican members of the Jackson County Board of Elections said they were pressured by party and state leaders to vote against a plan to have a campus-based early voting site at Western Carolina University.” #ncpol #ncga

You cannot brag about economic development while refusing to pass a real budget. North Carolina is still stuck operating under a CR, and now major projects are warning that delayed state funding is slowing hiring and infrastructure timelines. Businesses need certainty. Communities need investment. Pass a budget. #ncpol wral.com/news/nccapitol/jetz…

Great to be out this morning in Raleigh with Buncombe teachers and educators from across the state. We are failing them in the legislature and the seams are starting to come apart. The time to pass a budget with pay increases for all NC employees is now!

(1) This claim from @DavidWillisNC is totally, like bonkers pants-on-head wrong (2) What is true is Rep. Willis personally owns tens of thousands of dollars in stock in the Chinese Communist Party's state-owned oil company. Isn't that odd? xitter.cf/ReivesPress/status/204…

Years without a comprehensive state budget and starting trooper pay ranking around 49th in the nation hurts our State Highway Patrol. Republican leadership needs to get serious about investing in public safety in North Carolina. #ncpol #ncga wect.com/2026/03/31/north-ca…

I am so proud of the men and women who stepped up to run for the North Carolina House as Democrats. @NCHouseDems have a bold vision to make life more affordable and the American Dream more achievable. Now on to November!

I am beyond honored to have received the Democratic nomination for US Congress this evening! Together, we’re going to flip this seat, build an economy that supports working families, and deliver the Helene recovery Chuck Edwards won't! Thank you so much for your support! #ncpol

You were overcharged on your power bill. A court said you deserve a refund. Republicans in NC changed the law so you won’t get one. #ncpol Read @TerryBrownCLT op-ed here: charlotteobserver.com/opinio…

GOP lawmakers to overcharged NC utility customers: No refund | Opinion

Duke Energy should owe its customers millions of dollars for charging an “unlawfully high rate,” but Republican lawmakers blocked a payback.

I am thankful to the Democrats in every corner of NC who have stepped up to run for office next year. These are our most consequential legislative races in a long time. I look forward to House Democrats competing hard to earn the trust of voters in communities all over our state.
