To connect federal dollars for natural disaster recovery to the outcome of an election is absolutely offensive.

There’s something special about coming together to serve others. It was great to work alongside Activate Good volunteers in Raleigh on 9/11 and see the impact that can happen when people show up, pitch in, and work together. That spirit of service makes our communities stronger.

Our film industry has built a strong presence in North Carolina, with a talented workforce and communities across our state benefiting from the jobs and investment that productions bring. We need to make sure production companies have the certainty they need to keep choosing North Carolina.

We had a great time welcoming the Carolina Hurricanes to the People’s House and celebrating this incredible team, their historic playoff run, and what the Canes mean to our state. This team gives North Carolina something to cheer for together, and we’re proud to celebrate our Stanley Cup champions.

This is no way to respond to a tragic disaster, no way to run a country, no way to campaign for office. Western North Carolinians have been working their tails off for the past two years to recover from Helene. It’s time for Washington to match their grit and fund our $10 billion request.

We need to embrace innovation, but we have to do it in a way that doesn’t harm North Carolinians. Data centers should bring their own clean power and pay for their own energy, not leave families paying higher electricity bills because of data centers’ energy demands.
