The Carolines Hurricanes take hockey's biggest stage tonight in Raleigh as the Stanley Cup Final begins.

The same grit that drives North Carolina's economy is on the ice tonight. Best of luck, Canes. 🏒

We recently partnered with the Greensboro Business League for our annual Policy & Prosperity Breakfast. Leaders & policymakers discussed issues shaping NC competitiveness. Thank you to participating lawmakers and our partners who helped make it happen.

[Alex Baltzegar @AlexBaltzegar]

Senator Phil Berger is one of the most consequential political figures in North Carolina history. He deserves a lion's share of credit for NC being the number 1 state for business.

Since 2011, Senator Berger has been the consistent force driving NC towards lower taxes and regulations, increasing economic prosperity for our state and its people.

Thank you, Senator Berger.

North Carolina is on a trajectory for the first billion-dollar Senate race ever; smart piece on next year's marquee Senate election by @AlexBaltzegar https://t.co/7hsM5EfW1Y

[POLITICO Magazine @POLITICOMag]

A confluence of factors make the North Carolina Senate race a contest capable of blowing away all Senate spending records, drowning broadcast & digital platforms in ads and turning NC into a battleground where expensive AI-driven tech is deployed at scale https://t.co/w3lORHBdRd

[POLITICO @politico]

North Carolina is on track to be the first billion-dollar Senate race ever.

It may be a glimpse at the 2028 presidential campaign, and beyond. https://t.co/ZjldVmyod1
