Business owners, educators, students, and North Carolinians at every corner of our state had to adapt to extraordinary circumstances over the past two years. From online learning to labor shortages, North Carolinians have been tenacious in tackling some of our state’s biggest challenges. Representing those families, business owners, and health care workers in the North Carolina Senate has been the honor of my life.

A bill that would open disciplinary records of government employees is crawling through the Senate, and employee unions and Democrats are determined to kill it.
Three North Carolina teachers have won Governor’s Educator Discovery Awards to help strengthen their work in the classroom, Governor Roy Cooper and the North Carolina Business Committee for Education announced.
The House has passed a bill that would prohibit the exclusive teaching of Critical Race Theory in North Carolina public school classrooms. The 66-48 vote on May 12 followed a scorched-earth debate in which Democrats called the measure anti-American and hateful, while Republicans countered that it was focused on ensuring equity in schools.
