I am humbled by the sheer number of freedom lovers in Wake Forest! We must always hold dear the American birthright of liberty, even against staggering odds. A special thanks to the many excellent people who made this campaign possible!

Congratulations to my Republican counterpart, @mikefor35, on a race well run. I pray that you will hold these principles above all else, and persist in preserving the rights and freedoms of all North Carolinians. Thank you all, and God bless!

NC has been using nuclear power since 1975, and in 2022 1/3 of the power produced in NC came from nuclear plants. There's been exactly one nuclear "emergency" in the state's history - a controlled shutdown due to a failure of backup diesel generators. Take the nukepill.
Hearing this description of Three Mile is actually what turned me into a bit of a nuke bro. You’re telling me that the *worst* nuclear disaster had 0 injuries? Meanwhile a coal plant kills 1,500/yr during normal operation? We need a lot more nuclear.

Utterly shameful display by @LPMI delegates at #LNC2024. With childish tantrums like these, it's no wonder #Libertarian politics are the target of endless mockery.
The @LPNational’s National Convention is already breaking down into chaos dude, this is HILARIOUS. #Libertarians #LibertarianParty #LPNC #LP #LPNC2024

I'm being told the worst offender in this clip was an organizer for @ChaseForLiberty. Sad person!

Local politics are the battleground where one must hold firm to libertarian principles. These fights can be won outright! Like it or not, federal politics are a different game. Influence is worth more than 1-3% of votes, and results require pragmatism.
It'll take a Libertarian-Nationalist alliance to save this country. Live keynote speech from the Libertarian Party convention. 🇺🇲 xitter.gq/i/broadcasts/1mnGeplVz…

The LPNC was in attendance at the #NCGA in order to encourage the House J2 committee to move forward HB189, Constitutional Carry. It moved out of committee and to the Rules Committee. We look forward to it passing the House and Senate and guaranteeing the right to carry. #ncpol

BREAKING: All 72 Republicans have now signed on to the bill to fund students instead of systems in the North Carolina House. Now both chambers each have the 60% supermajority needed to override Gov. Cooper's expected veto. All families will be eligible. IT'S HAPPENING. #ncpol

The passing and subsequent veto override of SB41 was an inspiring victory for NC gun owners. I hope you'll join me (and other local gun owners) next Tuesday morning to support HB189, the NC Constitutional Carry Act! Details and address below: m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…

We did it!! Thanks so much! to everyone who lobbied their State Senators and Representatives to get this veto override. #ncpol #2A
NC House votes 71-45 to override Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of gun rights legislation that includes a repeal of the state’s permit requirement for buying handguns. Senate Bill 41 now becomes law after Senate also had its veto override vote Tuesday. #nced #ncpol #ncga

Despite @NC_Governor's persistent attempts to keep Jim Crow laws on our books, as of this morning, the archaic pistol permitting system has been repealed in NC! ncleg.gov/BillLookUp/2023/S4…

When we allow people to choose education options that work for them, success soon follows!
If Catholic schools were a state, they’d be the highest performing in the nation on all four NAEP tests.
