Late in posting this, but I was so immensely honored and grateful to be nominated for the Gabrielle Giffords Rising Star Award from EMILY's list! @gabbygiffords.bsky.social @emilyslist.bsky.social

We can't look taxpayers in the eye and tell them honestly that their tax dollars are going towards a quality education.
"We're in a state right now where people are hungry for accountability

Every public dollar that we spend has to be accounted for

And, right now, our current voucher program doesn't do that."

During today's budget debate, I introduced amendments that would: • Keep more tax dollars for education in public schools • Restore the income cap for the private school voucher program • Increase funding for students with disabilities NC House Republicans blocked all of them.

It was so exciting to be present at the groundbreaking of this new affordable housing project in Asheville! 🏗️ My personal favorite part? 12 of the 60 units will be reserved for young people transitioning out of foster care. This matters!

It's time for the General Assembly to show up and fully deliver for Western North Carolina. We filed this bill to fill the needs of our neighbors and communities across WNC, but there is much more we must do to help people recover.

Two days in a row now, the speaker has put House Bill 171 (DEI ban) on the calendar and then pulled it off when he saw how many people showed up in the gallery. They're cowards.

🚨 North Carolina Republicans just introduced HB 804, which completely bans abortions after conception — with no exceptions for rape/incest and includes a minimum $100,000 fine for seeking reproductive health care.

"Members of the Charter School Review Board saw strengths in the Liberty Charter’s board, such as members’ business experience, but one member questioned the lack of a K-12 educator on the board, and at least a couple board members suggested the all-male board could be improved by including women."
