No matter where people call home, they deserve access to great health care.

This bill makes the DMV more efficient and gives drivers a smoother experience.

In 1973, North Carolina’s Office of Rural Health became the first state office of its kind in the entire country.

We are just as committed to rural health. We are putting our Rural Health Transformation Program dollars to work funding programs and initiatives that will help North Carolinians all around the state.

This ranking proves that we can’t rest on our laurels.

I am confident that the budget is a launching pad, not our landing place.

This bill protects people from fraud when they use virtual currency kiosks, requiring the machines to be licensed and regulated under state law, placing limits on daily transactions, and providing scam alert signs, live customer service…

The version sent to my desk does not do that. Instead, it continues to impede Buncombe County’s recovery efforts.

This bill gives North Carolina another tool in the toolbox to build more homes and make housing more affordable.

I have long called for funding to crack down on drug trafficking, invest in behavioral health, and expand affordable housing options — because homelessness and substance misuse are real problems that deserve real solutions, not this bill.

Yet, this poorly constructed bill makes that goal harder.

We all want people experiencing homelessness to get back on their feet and live in safe, affordable housing.

I am signing House Bill 1173 in memory of Jaleeyah Tune, a bright young girl whose life was cut far too short. We must address the root causes of gang violence by giving young people a better path, and we must crack down on gang activity…

It’s full of unconstitutional and petty provisions that strip power from the executive branch, politicize state government, and undermine its efficiency.

The legislature has accepted many of my big-ticket budget recommendations, and having just celebrated America 250 this weekend, we remember that our democracy has always run on compromise for the common good.

We need to remove unnecessary and expensive barriers like burdensome parking lot requirements that lead to higher housing costs.

With this state policy, we’re making it easier for parents to succeed in the state’s workforce.

This bill builds on House Bill 50’s progress to support law enforcement officers returning to work from retirement. Vacancies in law enforcement agencies have a real impact on public safety, and this benefit incentivizes experienced law…

Vacancies in law enforcement agencies have a real impact on public safety, and this benefit incentivizes experienced law enforcement officers to come back and serve their communities.

This flag does not represent the North Carolina that we love. America 250 is about unity and bringing our nation together.

This bill strengthens the state’s response to human trafficking and better protects minors from obscene materials.

What we want is for the state to pass a budget that invests in our people.

I urge the Senate to pass it.

This EPA, which has already weakened protections against chemicals like GenX, is now allowing polluters to pick and choose how and where they'll fix their contamination — leaving North Carolina with no guarantees.

This group of exceptional North Carolinians who have made our state stronger through their contributions across business, education, government, faith, journalism, and athletics. I am proud to honor them today for their leadership and…
