All North Carolina families would be eligible.

The Governor is advocating for systems rather than students themselves. Education is not one-size-fits-all and NC families should have the freedom to determine what kind of education is best for them. My bill to expand the NC Opportunity Scholarship program, to allow all NC…
A great speech by

who presented a great overview of the problem with the Democratic Party. This should serve as a wake-up call. She will not be a rubber stamp for the

My name is Rep. Meisha Mainor and today I made the decision to leave the Democrat Party.
I represent a blue district in the city of Atlanta so this wasn’t a political decision for me. It was a a MORAL one.
I will NEVER apologize for being a black woman with a mind of my own.
My home is full of family today. After our prayers and talks, I’ve decided that I will seek re-election to keep representing Mecklenburg County
and I look forward to meeting the voters of HD-105. 🇺🇸
@triciacotham
defends school choice and SLAMS North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper over his political theater.
"He is looking for his next political landing spot at the disadvantage of kids. He's looking out for himself, Republicans are putting kids first."
North Carolina will fund students, not systems, and there's nothing
@RoyCooperNC
can do about it.
Thank you for your leadership on education freedom,

All Republicans signed on to her universal school choice bill.
It's happening.
Pres. Trump had invited Joshua Trump as his State of the Union guest because the White House said the sixth-grader from Wilmington, Delaware, had been bullied because of his last name.
He appeared to doze off during the speech.
Women lawyers & judges wear suits, including dresses with jackets, for work. It is not a great look that ACB consistently does not. No male judge would be dressed in less than correct courtroom attire. It’s inappropriately casual.
Congratulations to North Carolina State Representatives

for being named 2023 Champions for Charter Schools! Thank you for fighting for families and students in your state!
BREAKING: North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper says he will let the budget – which includes UNIVERSAL SCHOOL CHOICE – become law.
NC will now fund students, not systems.
NC is now the 10th state to pass universal school choice.
It's the 1st to do so without a GOP trifecta.
So to be clear… lower income taxpayers will end up funding tuition subsidies for wealthier students already going to private school… and the sponosor of this bill,
@triciacotham
will benefit directly.
I was appointed as Co-Chair of the Education Oversight Committee.

Get over yourself. You're a national disgrace, paid off by the

and VouchersRUs. "Lighning rod" erosion of public education to line your pockets is not, nor will ever be, praiseworthy. It's despicable. Resign traitor.
Education is the closest thing to magic in America. That’s why EVERY student needs

Agribusiness is the number 1 industry in NC. Hats off to all in this incredible industry who keep NC growing, moving, feeding, protecting, planning and much more. We thank you!
Agriculture is a profession that often doesn't stand in the spotlight, which means we need to show appreciation whenever we can. Check out this article to learn about some ways our farmers have been celebrated lately!

The North Carolina House passed H823, “Choose Your School, Choose Your Future”, with bipartisan effort. This expansive program would give universal school choice to all Tar Heel State children!
I don’t like the word “essential” when referring to workers. Trust me to every worker, they are essential. Their paychecks are essential. To every small business owner, their business is essential.
Thank you to our public safety dispatchers! You have to balance so many life critical issues at one time, remain calm, communicate effectively and much more. Please accept my gratitude.
