Healthcare should not be a luxury.
I helped lead the fight to bring Medicaid expansion to North Carolina, giving thousands more people access to the coverage they need. But there is still more work to do. I will keep fighting to lower costs and make quality healthcare available and affordable.
Great to be back on the Do Politics Better podcast after 4 years. A lot has changed since then and I enjoyed catching up! Give it a listen:

North Carolina deserves proven conservative leadership that puts the people of New Hanover County first.
@MichaelLee4NC has earned that trust through four terms in the @MyNCSenate, where he has consistently delivered results by fighting for strong schools, protecting our clean drinking water and beautiful coast, supporting economic growth by helping bring the film industry back to Wilmington, and promoting responsible, fiscally conservative government.
Join us in voting to re-elect Senator Michael Lee for continued responsible #republican leadership in NC Senate District 7. #ncpol #ncga
North Carolina’s budget is officially signed into law. I’m proud to have helped deliver a responsible plan that cuts taxes, raises pay for teachers and law enforcement, and invests in priorities that keep our state strong.
This budget delivers real results for North Carolina families.
I was proud to help craft and support a plan that provides billions in tax cuts, an average 8% raise for teachers, raises for state employees and law enforcement officers, more than $700 million for Hurricane Helene recovery, and $50 million to preserve North Carolina farmland.
That is a strong investment in our people, our communities, and our future.
For more than two decades of service, including 15 years as President Pro Tempore, @SenatorBerger has led with discipline, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to North Carolina. His impact on our state and our institution will be felt for generations.
I am aware that conversations have begun about the future leadership of the Senate. I respect those who are engaging in those discussions, and I am prepared to step forward to provide the leadership needed to meet the challenges ahead and to guide the Senate into its next chapter.
But today is not about the next chapter. It is about recognizing and appreciating the extraordinary leadership of Senator Berger.
There will be an appropriate time for those discussions. For now, we pause to thank a leader who has given so much to this state and to the Senate.
Iryna’s Law honors a life tragically lost by making sure our laws do more to protect the public. From tougher pretrial release to stronger sentencing and victim protections — this law puts safety first for North Carolina families.

Michael Lee Unscripted Episode 2: A Journey of Hard Work and Discipline
In the second episode of our Unscripted series, I dive into my story. From my diverse upbringing with a Taiwanese father and a New York mother to working in tobacco fields and fast food restaurants, my journey shaped my belief in the importance of hard work, discipline, and dedication. #LeeforNC #ncpol
I am deeply disturbed by the attempt on former President Trump’s life. Violence has no place in our society, and we must condemn this act in the strongest terms. My thoughts and prayers are with the former President and all those affected by this heinous act.
