Here are Republican members of the Granville County Board of Elections literally being told, in real time, what to say. Debby Butler and Douglas Smith clearly lack the independent judgment and integrity necessary to serve the citizens of Granville. #ncpol
An incredible scoop here that raises huge red flags about Republican Majority Leader @BrendenJonesNC's conduct here:
After he lied on the House floor to steer a massive state contract to a developer group that sent him campaign cash, @BrendenJonesNC formed a new personal LLC focusing on "property development." (Jones has no background in property development.)
Jones has also been "double dipping" on his state per diem, double charging the state and his campaign for the same expenses. He personally profited about $18,000 in 2025 alone.
@ncspeakerhall needs to begin answering questions about his majority leader's personal integrity.
This is absolutely bonkers: newly uncovered text messages reveal that Republican operatives INSIDE the North Carolina State Board of Elections are secretly collaborating with the NC Republican Party to force local elections officials to obey partisan directives - or be fired.
This is a smoking gun: @DallasWoodhouse, the disgraced former leader of the NCGOP who Republicans nevertheless hired to help run the State Board of Elections, is working hand-in-hand with NCGOP legal counsel to pressure officials and even arrange votes.
The people now exercising influence over NC’s elections did not hide their views. They built careers advancing them. And when they were given power over election administration, they brought those same anti-democratic instincts with them. #ncpol https://t.co/sDxQOP87bp
Republican House Majority Leader @BrendenJonesNC stood on the floor of the North Carolina House of Representatives and lied.
Specifically, Jones claimed that the state ABC Commissioner had asked him to insert a new amendment to a bill that would allow the ABC to pursue a "public-private partnership" to build a big new state liquor warehouse. The plan Jones supported was a half-billion dollar automated warehouse that the state would first pay for, and then lease - not buy - from the developer who built it.
Except, the ABC Commissioner says that isn't true. In fact, the ABC Commissioner supported a different plan - a much less expensive one, which the state would own completely.
It turns out, that developer, and their lobbyists, have shoveled over half a million dollars in campaign contributions to Brenden Jones himself, House Speaker @ncspeakerhall, and other prominent Republican politicians.
All just a big coincidence? 🫤
"Jones received maximum donations from four M Group officials, a Marino family member, and a Mooresville BTR official in the past three years, totaling $59,200. Four of those maximum donations were reported as being received three weeks after he met with Bauer."
Not only did Brenden Jones apparently lie while speaking on the House floor, the warehouse deal he pushed would funnel more than $500M in taxpayer money to a company whose executives and affiliates have contributed nearly $60K to his campaigns. #ncpol#ncga
"Berger seems to fundamentally misunderstand who his constituents are. Even if he did lose because Democrats and unaffiliated voters helped rally against him, so what? They are as much his constituents as anyone else..." #ncpol https://t.co/E9kva7UXPl
Great news! Our race is now a @DLCC Target Race. This district could decide the GOP supermajority. With chaos in DC, state government matters even more. Public schools, economic opportunity, and right to vote are on the line. I’m in this fight. Glad to have you with me. #ncpol
The Court ended Leandro, abandoning its constitutional duty to our public schools.
In 2023, #ncga lawmakers boosted the retirement age for the same Court, delivering hundreds of thousands in additional pay to Chief Justice Newby.
You get what you pay for. #ncpol
JUST IN: In a 4-3 decision, the state Supreme Court tosses out Leandro lawsuit. "The people did not vest the judicial branch with the power to resolve policy disputes between the other branches of government or to set education policy," majority writes. #ncpol
For 15 years, the Republican majority in the #NCGA has worked to keep more and more of what they do out of public view, making it harder for North Carolinians to hold them accountable. #ncpol
After bombshell reporting last week that Republican State Senator Dave Craven has been paying a lobbyist's wife tens of thousands of dollars under suspicious circumstances, Sen. @TerenceEveritt is asking for a formal investigation into Craven's campaign finances.
Enjoyed welcoming Leadership Wake Forest to the #NCGA this week. As our community grows, informed local leadership matters. Grateful to the @WF_Chamber for helping to build that pipeline.
Grateful doesn’t begin to cover it. In bitter cold and heavy wind, our friends from TeamUp knocked 584 doors for me and @hopkinsforhouse - the work that actually wins elections. That’s commitment. Thank you for braving the cold for our community. #ncpol#ncga
Public records law is the law. A judge ruled Columbus County violated it - TWICE - and the county is still fighting compliance. #ncpol#ncga

I was humbled last year to receive a letter of commendation from Senator Rabon’s office for my efforts to stand up against Republican corruption in the #NCGA. So moved was I by the gesture that we had these coffee cups made to commemorate the occasion. #ncpol
