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

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-…

“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…

(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…

“North Carolinians want us to get ahead of this." "No more cost-shifting onto working families,” Prather said. “The public should be held harmless from increased costs associated with large data centers coming to town.” ncnewsline.com/2026/04/27/de… #ncpol

“I am glad to see Republican Leadership recognizing that North Carolinians are living through an affordability crisis that this General Assembly has only exacerbated by failing to do its basic duties." -- @electreives #ncpol #ncga medium.com/p/70539228403d?po…

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…

Looking forward to moderating tonight’s town hall with @PratherForNC, @ager_eric, and @MayfieldforNC! If you live in Buncombe Co, this is a great chance to hear from your #NCPol elected reps about the latest on legislation impacting your community. @NCHouseDems @NCSenateDems

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

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.

Draconian cuts are on the way courtesy of Republicans in Washington: "North Carolina is also bracing for a $49.9 billion decrease in federal Medicaid funding over the next decade as a result of H.R.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, according to DHHS." theassemblync.com/news/healt…

Republican leadership’s failure to secure a comprehensive budget this calendar year, let alone this fiscal year, means that families across the state are being pushed to the brink as we enter the holiday season. #ncpol #ncga nchdleader.medium.com/north-…

From Washington to Raleigh, the pattern is clear. Government shutdown. SNAP benefits at risk. Higher insurance premiums looming. No NC budget. No Medicaid funding. The common denominator? Republican "leadership". Don't buy it, they're failing you. #ncpol
