Wake County Democrats want to bring back NC State early voting site wral.com/news/nccapitol/wake…
In a bombshell news story, Dallas Woodhouse, who oversees North Carolina's "election integrity," was exposed texting, "don't let them have a vote" during deliberations over closing a polling location.
North Carolinians deserve answers now.

The failure of North Carolina's legislature to pass a budget has directly contributed to this crisis. Law enforcement leaders tried to warn them:
“Our staffing situation is dire and it’s dangerous. Dangerous to my staff, dangerous to the people in my custody, and dangerous to the people of North Carolina.”
“If we do not address these issues, something bad will happen. It is not a question of if, it’s a question of when.”
Leslie Cooley Dismukes, @NC_Governor's Secretary of the Department of Adult Corrections, January, 2026
UPDATE: All 3 correctional officers are safe after inmates seized control of the Bertie-Martin Regional Detention Center Monday morning, according to the NCSBI. Officials say there is no threat to the public.

"North Carolina lawmakers are running out of time to pass a budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year and have now failed to pass a new comprehensive state budget for more than 1,000 days." #ncpol #ncga

Donald Trump refuses to sign a housing bill aimed at making homes more affordable by increasing housing supply, placing limits on private equity firms, and making it easier for first-time buyers to get financing.
He puts our families at jeopardy to push his own political agenda.

The General Assembly is considering a bill that harms election administration. The deadline for public comment is 1PM tomorrow.

🚨URGENT: Pack the NCGA Gallery on Tuesday
On Friday, Republicans dropped a 36 page bill packed with sweeping changes to NC voting laws.
The bill would:
• Ban election board members from publicly encouraging voter turnout
• Make partisan changes to State Board of Elections staffing
• Reduce campaign finance disclosure requirements
• Ban ranked-choice voting statewide
• Restrict overseas voters’ participation in state elections
• Ban paid petition and voter registration gathering
While our state Republican legislators continue to vote on reckless rate hikes for Duke Energy, our Attorney General Jeff Jackson is fighting to save North Carolina an estimated $1.4 Billion dollars.
“We can bring that number way down ... That’s what I’m fighting for.”

This is our home crowd for an AWAY GAME 🤯
Just cheering and watching the game played in Vegas on the screen.

Destin Hall was the primary sponsor on a bill that allows Duke Energy to create multi-year rate hikes without oversight.
In 2025, he overrode Gov Stein's veto for a bill that allows Duke to increase rates again for future projects.
He hopes you will forget.
Justice Anita Earls said it plainly in her dissent: Duke Energy customers could pay more for the same electrical service.
Wake County families are already struggling with rising housing, grocery, and energy costs. Higher power bills are not affordability.

This slush fund — paid for by your tax dollars — will give money to criminals and January 6 rioters. When I was Attorney General, we used to put those people away, not give them a payout.
Trump's 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' could carry a big tax bill, some experts argue dlvr.it/TSm5Fz
Wake County Democratic Party retweeted
Trump's $1.7 billion plus slush fund is corruption at its most obvious: using your taxpayer dollars to reward the President's allies, including Jan 6th rioters convicted of attacking law enforcement.
I have yet to speak to anyone - Republican or Democrat - in favor of this.

As North Carolinians are getting crushed by rising costs, the last thing they need is another Duke Energy rate hike. It’s just plain wrong.
Michael Whatley spent his career lobbying for big utility companies, including Duke Energy, as your rates climbed higher.
Wake County Democratic Party retweeted
Looks like someone’s realizing that overriding Gov. Stein’s veto of SB266 might not have been such a great idea after all.
We warned this would lead to higher bills and less accountability for Duke Energy. Now Republicans are trying to clean up the mess they created. #ncpol
Affordability is top of mind for families across our state—and energy costs are a big part of that.
This article from WSOC-TV breaks down the Energy & Housing Affordability Act (HB 1192), which I filed last week.
Right now, families pay 100% of fuel cost increases through their utility bills. This bill ensures utilities share in that risk, so when prices spike, you’re not the only one footing the bill.
It also encourages large energy users (like data centers) to generate their own power, and it invests in workforce housing.
