Data centers are the unseen backbone of modern society, frequently misunderstood and unfairly criticized for their resource consumption. In reality, these facilities are indispensable engines of economic growth and technological progress.
I care deeply about this community and its people so I write to say to the people of Cumberland County, the Party is over - It’s time to work! It doesn’t matter what party the politician is affiliated with, it only matters what the individuals stand for and against.
North Carolina's housing shortage is no longer an abstract policy debate.
As a small business owner serving Anson, Stanly and Union counties, I understand firsthand how important a safe, reliable and accessible financial system is to the businesses and families that keep our communities moving.
As someone who suffers from fibromyalgia, I follow the policy discussions around drug pricing and ideas to lower patients costs very closely. Cymbalta helps me manage my symptoms and show up for the people who are counting on me and I want to make sure that I continue to have access to this medication.
Although I know full well that bad news draws more eyeballs than good news, I feel compelled to observe that something rather shocking — and promising — happened last week. Both major political parties acted responsibly.
For years, Senator Thom Tillis has sounded the alarm over China’s efforts to gain economic leverage over American industries.
North Carolina families are tired of being told that healthcare costs are out of control while hospital systems continue operating behind a curtain of secrecy.

North Carolina grew by nearly 150,000 people in 2025. Following Texas and Florida, it is the third largest state in population growth. Unfortunately, high interest rates, housing prices, and property taxes are pricing many people out of the market for buying a home. The Tarheel State is facing a severe housing shortage, especially after Hurricane Helene. Our state’s housing crisis must be addressed soon.
North Carolina lawmakers are right to be concerned about children’s safety online. Many apps available to kids can expose them to bullying, predators, harmful content, and addictive algorithms that many parents are struggling to manage. Doing nothing is not an option.
Lenoir County currently has a 3.5% unemployment rate, and the median income is just over $45,000. Legislation is moving through Congress that would hand Washington bureaucrats sweeping new authority over workplace contracts in eastern North Carolina and across the nation.

It will empower union bosses and unaccountable government arbitrators at the expense of workers andbusinesses alike.
