Human trafficking is a crime that thrives in darkness. That’s why we must shine a light. Last week, buildings across Raleigh were lit blue to raise awareness for survivors and victims of human trafficking.

Opportunity is built right here in North Carolina. By creating more apprenticeships and engaging with employers across the state, we can connect more people to new careers that can support their families. I look forward to continuing to create opportunities in every corner of our state.

Yancey County’s Community Paramedic program helps bridge the gap between primary care and community needs before emergencies arise. The program’s work before, during, and after Hurricane Helene is a shining example of North Carolina’s leadership in rural health care innovation.
They’re medics, social workers, neighbors and 911. Meet the health care workers who do it all.

Another winter has arrived after Helene, and hundreds of western NC homeowners whose homes were destroyed and who are seeking a buy-out are still in limbo waiting on FEMA for approval. DHS owes these families answers.
Hundreds of residents signed up for FEMA buyouts after Helene. Not one has been approved.
More than a year after applying for a federal buyout, many North Carolina homeowners have heard almost nothing definitive.

I can think of no one who shaped North Carolina’s recent successes as much as Governor Jim Hunt. Governor for 16 years, he was a visionary who founded Smart Start, raised teacher pay, protected air quality, and created the NC Biotech Center. On a personal level, he was a mentor and dear friend.
