It was an honor to be with leaders and members from all of our state and federally recognized tribes at the United Tribes of North Carolina’s annual Unity Conference.

Brunswick County is the fastest-growing county in NC and the 11th-fastest-growing county in the country, which means lots of new North Carolinians need to take care of business at the DMV. New DMV offices like the one in Leland mean shorter lines and faster services for everyone.

Every North Carolinian should be protected from dangerous forever chemicals like PFAS. Thanks to an investment from the state, 230 more homes will get connected to a water system with a filtration system that ensures they can enjoy clean drinking water.

FEMA needs to act with greater urgency approving & distributing relief funds to the people and communities of western NC as we continue to rebuild after Hurricane Helene. I look forward to working with Senator Mullin, the newly tapped Secretary of DHS, and his team at FEMA to deliver for western NC.

All three of our kids went through and graduated from Wake County schools, so it was a special honor to be at this year’s Pieces of Gold celebration.

These talented young people reflect the very best of our public education system!

North Carolina led the nation in fourth-quarter employment gains in 2025.

Since January 2025, we’ve announced more than 37,000 new jobs and more than $26 billion in economic development investment – the best year for job announcements in state history. Let’s keep up North Carolina’s momentum!

Anna and I stopped by Ms. Winnix’s second grade class at Green Magnet Elementary for Read Across America Day.

Investing in the future of North Carolina means investing in our kids and making sure they have the resources they need to excel in the classroom and beyond.

πŸ“’US Forged Rings will invest up to $875 million to create 625 new jobs in Hertford County.

These jobs will drive economic growth in northeast NC and serve as a testament to our top-notch workforce. Welcome to Team North Carolina!

It’s an honor to continue to tackle this and other critical issues at this year’s Emerging Issues Forum. The forum, a vision of the late Gov. Jim Hunt, began 40 years ago as a way to bring together people from a variety of perspectives to build a safer, stronger, and more resilient North Carolina.

It was great to visit with teachers and students with Superintendent Green and see how investments like this improve student outcomes. I’ll continue to fight to make sure our kids and teachers have the resources they need to succeed in the classroom.

More than 70,000 North Carolinians have incomplete voter registrations. Check the database below to see if you’re on the list. If you are, you can still vote, but you should bring your driver’s license with you, and you may be required to cast a provisional ballot.

Congratulations to Asheville’s River Arts District – named the 2026 best arts district in the nation by USA Today! Last summer, on our bike tour through Asheville, Anna and I cycled through the RAD and can attest that it’s more than deserving of being USA Today’s #1 arts district in the country!

I’m proud of the progress we are making at the DMV, but we know we are not done. We still have plenty of work to do to ensure North Carolinians have a fast and easy experience at the DMV. Let’s keep NC moving!

Last April, the average wait time at the DMV was almost 3 hours. We’ve reduced wait times by more than 75% -- we’ve gotten it down to less than 40 minutes.

Healing Rural N.C., One Doctor At a Time There aren't enough physicians to treat the nearly 3 million people who live in rural communities. Can this program help?

The Rural Health Transformation Program will allow North Carolina to give more people in rural areas access to life-saving health care. Let’s put these dollars to work for our people.
