"We're in a state right now where people are hungry for accountability Every public dollar that we spend has to be accounted for And, right now, our current voucher program doesn't do that."

We can't look taxpayers in the eye and tell them honestly that their tax dollars are going towards a quality education.

During today's budget debate, I introduced amendments that would:
• Keep more tax dollars for education in public schools
• Restore the income cap for the private school voucher program
• Increase funding for students with disabilities

NC House Republicans blocked all of them.

An excited group of project leaders and elected officials pose for a photo with shovels breaking ground on the project.

Sign on the project construction ground that reads "Star Point Apartments" with a computer-generated image of the apartments, logos for different funders and developers, and further information on the project.

It was so exciting to be present at the groundbreaking of this new affordable housing project in Asheville! 🏗️

My personal favorite part? 12 of the 60 units will be reserved for young people transitioning out of foster care. This matters!

Buncombe Democrats push $582M Helene relief bill, HB863, to expedite disaster recovery aid Buncombe County House Democrats filed HB863, Disaster Recovery Act of 2025 - Part 1(b), the fifth Hurricane Helene relief bill, which would provide $582 million

It's time for the General Assembly to show up and fully deliver for Western North Carolina.

We filed this bill to fill the needs of our neighbors and communities across WNC, but there is much more we must do to help people recover.

Two days in a row now, the speaker has put House Bill 171 (DEI ban) on the calendar and then pulled it off when he saw how many people showed up in the gallery. They're cowards.

🚨 North Carolina Republicans just introduced HB 804, which completely bans abortions after conception — with no exceptions for rape/incest and includes a minimum $100,000 fine for seeking reproductive health care.

New charter school in Guilford will teach Latin and cursive writing. 'Students will not use computer... Liberty Charter Academy state approval for 2025 August opening in southwest Guilford County.

"Members of the Charter School Review Board saw strengths in the Liberty Charter’s board, such as members’ business experience, but one member questioned the lack of a K-12 educator on the board, and at least a couple board members suggested the all-male board could be improved by including women."
