Leaders like Dan Blue have always shown that public service requires transparency. I will also continue to make my legislative records public records. Anyone who doesn’t likely has something to hide. And the public deserves to know exactly what that is. #ncpol

I am a state legislator, and we are elected to govern on state and local issues, not weigh in on foreign affairs, which are not our expertise nor our jurisdiction. But as a human, what I see is the toll of hatred and war on real people, and it's horrible. 🧵 #ncpol

We cannot wait to take action on gun safety. That’s why @nchousedems signed discharge petitions for #HB86 and #HB454 tonight. If #NCGA Republicans won’t hear gun reform legislation, we’ll force the vote.

🚨 NC Court rules 3-0 that #NCGA districts are unconstitutional based on partisan gerrymandering. The NCGA will have two weeks to draw new districts for 2020 under strict criteria and court review. This is a big win for democracy & a game changer for 2020. More to come... #ncpol

My 8th grader just said “The school dance doesn’t sound like a very good idea.” Because another student brought a gun to school today. Meanwhile, the GOP make a spectacle about <fill in the blank> to distract us. There’s only one party serious about saving kids lives.

It's time for NC to decriminalize, legalize & monetize cannabis. The continued prohibition of cannabis has a devastating impact, primarily communities of color that have long been targeted by our nation's misguided Drug War. 🧵

Op-Ed: Legalizing Cannabis - INDY Week

North Carolina is ready to lead on cannabis legalization. Here’s how we can get it done even with a GOP majority in charge.

Tough day in Chapel Hill. Tragic loss of life. Long term loss of security. And a deepening sense of despair about living in a society that values guns so much and life so little. Let us never stop the push for a world at peace.

As Republicans strip the executive branch of its powers, take over control of judicial appointments, and block Gov. Cooper's nominees for no stated reason... It's clear that they have abdicated all sense of true citizenship in exchange for #GovtOfByForTheNCGOP .

✅ Expand Medicaid ✅ Invest in public health ✅ Make unemployment insurance real insurance ✅ Help small business ✅ Expand rural broadband I’m in. @nchousedems have had all of these in our agenda even before COVID. NC can’t wait any longer.

The legislature needs to think big on how to respond to COVID-19

Republican state lawmakers have urged Democratic Gov. Cooper to be more transparent about data on COVID-19 cases and his plans to reopen the state’s economy.

To my friends in NC Public Schools, here are the actual teacher pay raises in this GOP budget. As usual, the rhetoric of “7% raise” isn’t true for everyone. #nced
