BREAKING <U+0001F6A8> I just got off the phone with @NCHSAA leadership, as they have decided to REVERSE their previous decision and allow @OnslowSchools<U+2019> scholar-athlete Caitlynn Guarino to play soccer this season. #ncga #ncpol https://t.co/xiT1N6s66w
My constituents sent me to Raleigh to represent our values & to be a voice for the voiceless. I<U+2019>m pleased to report that we have overridden @NC_Governor<U+2019>s veto of the SB 20 <U+2014> legislation which will save millions of unborn lives and restore the sanctity of human life. #ncga #ncpol https://t.co/9jIK8nDGfS
North Carolinians demand Voter ID! #ncpol https://t.co/jOTy5YRsll
It<U+2019>s official. We just passed our first OVERRIDE of the #ncga session. Overturning Governor Cooper<U+2019>s veto of SB 41 by a vote of 30-19. This bill will repeal NC<U+2019>s pistol purchase permit requirement and establish a safe storage initiative. #ncpol https://t.co/dYqnGVdPre
North Carolinians demand Voter ID! #ncpol https://t.co/jOTy5YRsll
Student-athletes should not be punished for taking AP classes & excelling academically. I told my constituents that I would fix this issue, and we<U+2019>ve done just that by passing #NCGA legislation the very next day. We look forward to seeing this bill become law quickly. #ncpol https://t.co/jDkAvMtWZ7
This week, the #NCGA Senate passed pro-2nd Amendment legislation to abolish the Jim Crow-era pistol purchase permit, to affirm a church<U+2019>s right to allow concealed carry, & to promote safe gun storage. I<U+2019>m proud to have co-sponsored this bill & will always defend 2A rights. #ncpol https://t.co/ow4K8BPOYn
This is outrageous! One of @OnslowSchools<U+2019>s exceptional student-athletes was benched for the season due to @NCHSAA<U+2019>s bureaucratic regulations which disincentivize academic success. I will be filing #ncga legislation to address & remedy this matter. #ncpol https://t.co/ZR0s5gzV6R
It was an honor to have Senator Harry Brown visit our #ncga office yesterday. He honorably served Onslow County for 16 years, and was elected by our peers as Majority Leader, retiring in 2021. Sen. Brown has been a great friend and mentor to me, it was a joy to catch up. #ncpol https://t.co/EBRD4AJy6K
