Senate Bill 452. Very proud of this bill. It’s 2025. Time to END child marriage in NC. The age used to be a low as 14 (less than 4 years ago NC was a destination state for “Child Brides”) WHAT?!? No thank you. It’s pretty straight forward. #Ncpol #ncsenate #senatorsneakers

I believe in accountability. In transparency. In protecting survivors.
What I don’t believe in is Republicans auditing themselves while people suffer.
North Carolina deserves better.

Yesterday in the Regulatory Reform Committee, I asked why we should give even more power to the Auditor, through the DAVE Act, when this is the kind of oversight we’re getting.
They tried to cut me off. I didn’t let them.

And then they gave $740K to a group founded two months before the budget by Jonathon Sink — the former GOP exec who resigned in a bribery scandal.
Nearly 3 years later, Sink's org had helped 4 victims.
3 of them got… gas and food. That’s it.

In 2021, Republican lawmakers stripped $15M from trusted agencies helping domestic violence victims — and gave it to a 2-person judicial commission they control.
To put that in perspective: the total funding for all DV centers in NC is just $4.8M.

Just read this bombshell @ProPublica report by @DougClarkNC:
➡️ How NC Lawmakers Abused Power, Hurt Abuse Survivors
It’s a devastating look at waste, fraud, and abuse — by Republicans — that hurt survivors of sexual violence.

This is why it was so important to break the super majority! Glad we were able to work to get @woodsonbradley.bsky.social there to break it up!
The republicans in the North Carolina State Legislature do not want our state to be able to *sue the federal government* over laws and executive orders our state deems as unconstitutional. Republicans are against our Attorney General protecting the people of our state. ⬇️
