In 2018, Hurricane Florence shredded a flag at Frying Pan Shoals. It never came down. People called it “Kevin.” Resilience isn’t perfection. It’s endurance. Not perfect. Still standing. 🇺🇸 #ProudToBeAnAmerican #NCVoters #Resilience

Reflecting on Presidents Day, we honor the resilience of our democracy and the leaders who guide us. Let's choose unity over division for a brighter future! 🇺🇸 #PresidentsDay #CivicLeadership #Innovation

Lowering medical costs starts with transparency! 💡 We support clear pricing, reduced facility fees, and expanding access to healthcare. Let's make healthcare affordable and sustainable for everyone! #HealthcarePolicy #NCVoters #ForwardParty

Education should be evidence-based and focused on outcomes! Let's support rigorous standards, student-centered learning, and strong educator support. Together, we can shape a brighter future! #EducationPolicy #ForwardParty #NCVoters 📚✨

One of America's strengths is our commitment to protecting dissent and opposing political violence. Democracy thrives when we engage through dialogue, protest, and elections. Let's defend that boundary together! 🇺🇸 #DemocracyInAction #NCVoters

From the start, America chose debate over silence. Our Founders showed us that open discussion leads to progress. It’s time for independent voters in NC to join the conversation! 🗣️✨ #ProudToBeAnAmerican #NCVoters

We've heard it this week from voters: “I support what you’re doing, but I’m afraid voting Forward helps the extremes.” This fear stems from winner-take-all elections. Instant Runoff Elections can change that by allowing ranked choices! 🗳️ Let's push for meaningful election reform! #ElectionReform

Day #2 at the Gun Show has been very successful. Ton of signatures.

Best moment of the day was speaking to the Vendor next to us…He asked “what are you here for?” We said, “working to strengthen our democracy.” He patted the guns he had for sale and said “So am I.”

Grateful for the inspiring ideas and leadership at the NC Forward Party Leadership Meeting! Excited about ballot access in 2026 and supporting Forward-aligned candidates in 2025. Special thanks to April Montgomery for her strong leadership! 🙌 #NCVoters www.aprilmontgomeryfornc.com/sign

Evan Hess joined the Arrington Gavin Show for a deep dive into leadership and civic responsibility. 🤝 It's time to prioritize accountability and put country over party. 🇺🇸 Tune in for a healthy democracy! 🎧 www.youtube.com/watch #NCVoters #ForwardParty #CountryOverParty

Being American means embracing our differences. The Constitution encourages debate and compromise, shaping our democracy. In NC, independent voters hold the power to decide our future. Let’s celebrate this spirit! 🇺🇸 #ProudToBeAnAmerican #NCVoters

Republicans may have a slight edge in NC voter registration, but the real headline is the rise of unaffiliated voters—39% and growing! This isn’t apathy; it’s a call for change. Let’s listen and lead! 💪🗳️ #NCPolitics #VoterVoice #ChangeIsComing

Affordability is a supply problem. More housing means lower rents. If we want affordability, we must make it easier to build more homes.

- Wealthy households didn’t change consumption habits amid rising costs of living
- Middle- and lower-income households cut back in response to a weaker labor market, tariffs, and inflation that increased the cost of daily expenses.

It should be noted about the increase in GDP:
- Tariff revenue goes to the federal government
- GDP was fueled by an increase in consumer spending, exports, and government spending
- Imports (a subtraction in the calculation of GDP) decreased
