For years, we’ve seen these revenue forecasts significantly underestimate our state’s economic outlook. North Carolina’s economy is strong, and we continue to bring in substantial revenue surpluses thanks to Republican-led tax and budget policies. Our formula of low taxes, responsible spending, and reasonable regulations has led to one of the most prosperous decades in our state’s history. #ncga #ncpol

YOU get to keep more of YOUR money.
Senate Republicans went to the mat to secure a tax cut for all North Carolinians next year. This budget slashes your tax rate to 3.49%, and it will continue to drop to 2.99%.
We’re protecting the taxpayers by fighting against increases. #ncpol

Mayor Lyles has been a guiding force for Charlotte. She was a steadfast leader who worked collaboratively with local and state officials to address the city's pressing needs. I want to thank her for her service and wish her well in retirement.
Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles plans to step down less than halfway through her latest term leading the nation’s 14th-largest city. Lyles will not run for another term in 2027, according to a news release. https://t.co/zCTw2qQIuI
North Carolina is on a roll! Our pro-growth policies give us an exceptional competitive edge. The results speak for themselves. #ncpol https://t.co/HdJEV9aDt4
For decades, liberal education special interests have improperly tried to hijack North Carolina’s constitutional funding process in order to impose their policy preferences via judicial fiat. Today’s decision confirms that the proper pathway for policymaking is the legislative process. #ncpol

Finally. After seven years, we can put to rest any doubt that our state’s Voter I.D. law is constitutional. This is a monumental win for the citizens of North Carolina and election integrity efforts. #ncpol https://t.co/no1ujL7dtM
Families deserve the freedom to choose the education that works best for their children, that’s why I put forward a bill for North Carolina to participate in President Trump’s school choice program. Gov. Stein vetoed the bill and it’s time for the #NCGA to override it. #ncpol https://t.co/2pgI2gEHEY
The General Assembly passed HB805 to make clear that your hard-earned tax dollars should not be forced to fund controversial gender transition procedures for prisoners. Gov. Stein vetoed this law, and I’m intervening in this lawsuit to ensure the law is adequately defended. #ncpol https://t.co/goujIXGVnX
It was great to stop by @myfox8's “Swing State” to discuss the issues most important to citizens of District 26 and what we can expect as we prepare for the next legislative session. #ncpol https://t.co/oq011GzoXc
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Steven J. Perry, as he gave the ultimate sacrifice on the line of duty. Please join me in praying for Trooper Perry’s family and loved ones. #ncpol https://t.co/nKWVGvBWFJ
North Carolinians are shouldering the burden of massive increases in local budgets. It doesn’t matter to our citizens if a tax is paid to the state or a local government; it’s their money coming out of their pockets. A moratorium will be the first step in making much-needed reforms to property taxes in our state. #ncpol https://t.co/sAJVxhA7yU
North Carolina is top tier! With real personal income rising 4.4% combined with lower-than-average costs, North Carolina continues to lead on growth and competitiveness. #ncpol https://t.co/eTHSbG8NVc
