As AG, I led the Medicaid Investigations Division that has recovered more than $1 billion for NC Medicaid and successfully prosecuted more than 700 convictions in fraud and abuse cases since its creation. I appreciate AG Jackson for continuing this important work of protecting taxpayer money.

It was an honor to present The Order of the Long Leaf Pine to a group of outstanding North Carolinians. They’ve dedicated their lives to protecting voting rights, preserving our state’s beauty, and educating the next generation.

I look forward to working with policymakers, citizens, and industry leaders to make sure our energy system is ready for the next generation of growth, innovation, and manufacturing. Let’s keep building a clean tech future that keeps North Carolina at the center of progress.

North Carolina has an opportunity to build an energy system that’s affordable, reliable, safe, and sustainable.

Excellent public schools create meaningful opportunity for every young person in North Carolina to succeed. That’s why Sen. Berger, Rep Hall, and I are forming a Blue Ribbon Commission on Public Education.

My Critical Needs Budget will redress the avoidable crises state government is facing and deliver stability and security for the people of North Carolina. We must take this action now to fill the gap as the General Assembly works toward a full, fiscally responsible budget later this spring.

North Carolina is the only state in the country to finish 2025 without a budget.

Together we can lead our state and stop the bleeding. Let’s avoid further destructive shortfalls and preventable crises.

Let’s give North Carolinians the stability they deserve and pass this Critical Needs Budget that makes essential investments in our safety, our health, and our education.

Please join me in keeping Deputy Mitchell’s family in our thoughts and prayers. May his memory be a blessing.

This morning, Forsyth County Deputy Kaleb Mitchell died in a fatal crash while serving and protecting his community. Law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to keep us safe. I called Sheriff Kimbrough this morning and pledged whatever support he and his team may need.

We know we must be prepared for the next storm, and these grants will allow us to build a safer, stronger, and more resilient North Carolina.

πŸ“’North Carolina is investing $24 million in projects across the state that will improve flood mitigation, protect critical infrastructure, and reduce community risks from future disasters.

This gathering is a reminder that Native Americans stewarded this land long before there was an America to speak of. Let us use this opportunity to honor their contributions to our state.

It was an honor to be with leaders and members from all of our state and federally recognized tribes at the United Tribes of North Carolina’s annual Unity Conference.

I appreciate the progress the DMV has made. Commissioner Tine and I will keep working to make sure North Carolinians visiting the DMV can get in, get out, and get on with their day.

Brunswick County is the fastest-growing county in NC and the 11th-fastest-growing county in the country, which means lots of new North Carolinians need to take care of business at the DMV. New DMV offices like the one in Leland mean shorter lines and faster services for everyone.

Every North Carolinian should be protected from dangerous forever chemicals like PFAS. Thanks to an investment from the state, 230 more homes will get connected to a water system with a filtration system that ensures they can enjoy clean drinking water.

FEMA needs to act with greater urgency approving & distributing relief funds to the people and communities of western NC as we continue to rebuild after Hurricane Helene. I look forward to working with Senator Mullin, the newly tapped Secretary of DHS, and his team at FEMA to deliver for western NC.

All three of our kids went through and graduated from Wake County schools, so it was a special honor to be at this year’s Pieces of Gold celebration.

These talented young people reflect the very best of our public education system!

This is a step in the right direction for WNC homeowners who have been in limbo waiting to be bought out for months, but there are still hundreds of families waiting for answers on their damaged or destroyed properties in flood zones.

North Carolina led the nation in fourth-quarter employment gains in 2025.

Since January 2025, we’ve announced more than 37,000 new jobs and more than $26 billion in economic development investment – the best year for job announcements in state history. Let’s keep up North Carolina’s momentum!
