Proudly serving North Carolina Senate District 11 🇺🇸 Franklin, Vance and Nash Counties

[Sen. Lisa Stone Barnes @LisaStoneBarnes]

Earlier today, I was sworn in as your District 11 NC Senator by my good friend Judge Sumner. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we held a small ceremony with my family at the Nash County Courthouse. I cannot thank y'all enough for your support, I'm ready to get to work! #ncpol #ncga

I enjoyed catching up with Sheriff Brame and Rep. Cohn earlier this month!

Thank you for your leadership, partnership, and continued commitment to serving the people of North Carolina.

Our farmers work hard every day to strengthen our state, and we must continue protecting both our farmland and our agricultural way of life.

This legislation reinforces NC’s strong commitment to supporting agriculture for future generations.

Families and workers should be able to keep more of what they earn.

I am proud to support efforts that protect taxpayers and give voters a direct voice on future income tax increases in our state.

May is National Small Business Month and a great reminder to support the businesses that power our local economy.

This month and every month, let’s continue to support the entrepreneurs who keep our towns strong.

During Nurses Week, we recognize those who show up with skill, compassion, and care every single day.

Thank you for the work you do to keep our families and communities healthy across NC!

Every penny our rural neighbors outside Rocky Mount pay into the electric system should go toward electric service, not plugging holes in the city’s budget.

This bill delivers the accountability they deserve and the peace of mind they need.

It’s always a great day when I get to connect directly with constituents from our district! Thank you, Marty Roberts and Weston Parks, for taking the time to meet with me and my office.

My door is always open!

April is limb loss awareness month.

This is your reminder that amputees are often treated differently from people with two legs. It shouldn’t be that way.

I'm honored to have received the “Defender of Freedom” award from Americans for Prosperity last night!

Grateful to continue standing up for the freedoms and values that make NC strong.
