As of today, North Carolina is the only state in the country without a budget.
The General Assembly needs to come back to Raleigh next week to fully fund Medicaid and then pass a budget that meaningfully invests in our people and our state.
Mark Robinson proposes a law ensuring that during government shutdowns, soldiers, federal police, and air traffic controllers get paid, but politicians do not. They should lead by example, cutting their own pay first and forfeiting backpay if unresolved quickly. He urges sharing this idea to prevent future shutdowns.
North Carolina Republicans are fostering a culture of life and compassion. In the #NCGA, we’re fighting for the lives of the unborn while Democrats are pushing for unfettered access to abortion across our state. #ncpol
Thank you, @realDonaldTrump! The loss of manufacturing jobs devastated our state. I'm glad to have a President who understands how important the furniture industry is to North Carolina. #ncpol
We cannot be prepared to respond to a disaster if our financial house isn’t in order. After Hurricane Helene hit, the #NCGA moved swiftly to put more than $1 billion of our state’s Rainy Day Fund toward immediate needs. The Republican-led efforts to keep our state spending in check and save for future needs is a far cry from the Democrats’ boom-and-bust budgets. #ncpol
I’d like to extend a thank you to all the hard-working North Carolinians who make our state the best in the nation. Have a safe and relaxing Labor Day. #ncpol
You deserve to have a say in your child’s education. This session I helped write a law increasing academic transparency for families and providing a new avenue to opt your child out of lessons that go against your religious beliefs. #ncpol
The General Assembly needs to get to work and pass a full budget that supports our kids by raising teacher pay, upgrading school infrastructure, and investing in support staff so all of our kids can thrive.
🚨Gov. Stein just vetoed another school choice bill🚨
Either you support school choice, or you don't. Gov. Stein could have made North Carolina a leader in school choice and parental freedom by signing the Educational Choice for Children Act, but instead, he's attempting to usurp the General Assembly's authority to set tax policy. I look forward to holding Gov. Stein accountable and overriding his veto to ensure North Carolina can participate in President Trump's signature school choice initiative. #ncpol #ncga

Teaching is the toughest job—
Not just because of the hours, the paperwork, or the pay.
But also because you're competing with culture, social media, peer pressure, and trauma—
and still expected to produce excellence.
You’re asked to meet every need, fix every gap, calm every storm—
all while hitting standards and staying upbeat.
But you show up anyway.
You believe when others doubt.
And that’s what makes you extraordinary
