Through the Steve Smith Family Foundation, Carolina Panthers legend Steve Smith has created a 24/7 behavioral health facility to help treat people who are in crisis. Facilities like this are critical in making sure people have access to care and are treated with dignity and compassion.

Hurricane Helene hit western NC more than a year ago, and the federal government has covered only around 10 percent of the storm’s damage. NC needs a FEMA director who will partner to help WNC recover.
Breaking news: David Richardson resigned as acting head of FEMA.

Richardson was known for frequently being inaccessible, including during the early hours of the flood disaster in Texas over the Fourth of July weekend.
FEMA head resigns. Richardson had been hard to reach during Texas floods.

NCDHHS can’t put health care costs on a credit card.

The longer the General Assembly refuses to fund our Medicaid program, the more they erode our health care system. They need to do their jobs.

Speaker Hall and Senator Berger made the time to gerrymander our state but couldn’t find the time to protect people’s health care or pass a budget that pays our teachers, law enforcement, or state employees.

Too many working people are being kicked while they are down In North Carolina. We don’t have to be a part of that. When people are counting on us to take action, we can and must answer that call.

The number one priority of the state is to keep people safe. Local law enforcement will continue to do that long after federal agents go on to the next place.

Renew NC is making progress to welcome families back home after Hurricane Helene’s devastation. I was honored to meet with a homeowner in Fairview whose new home is now complete.

I will continue to stay in touch with local and state officials to keep North Carolina safe.

You might have seen reports and videos of houses on the Outer Banks collapsing into the ocean. We know that when these houses collapse, they don’t just represent a tragedy for the homeowners. The debris also spreads for miles and creates a threat to public safety on beaches.

As of this morning, North Carolina SNAP recipients should see full benefits loaded on their EBT cards.

Scrapping tax credits for North Carolina’s clean energy sector is already eliminating good jobs and stunting the economic growth of our emerging clean tech economy. www.newsobserver.com/news/busines...
NC solar plant closing and cutting 220 jobs amid Trump policies, bankruptcy
This would mark the company’s second round of layoffs this year, and would cut over 78% of its workforce.

Speaker Hall and Leader Berger would rather come up with any excuse than fund Medicaid for the people of North Carolina.

Food banks are seeing a groundswell of need, and we must continue to help our neighbors put food on the table.
November 13, 2025 at 9:05 PM
In several of North Carolina’s rural counties, more than 50 percent of people get their health insurance through Medicaid. The General Assembly’s refusal to fully fund Medicaid will be felt throughout the state if providers are forced to close their doors. www.theassemblync.com/news/health/...
A Crisis for Rural Hospitals
North Carolina already reduced Medicaid reimbursement rates. Now hard-hit rural hospitals are now bracing for federal cuts.

North Carolinians need stability – to put food on the table, receive a paycheck, or travel home for the holidays – and I am pleased the government is back open.
November 13, 2025 at 2:06 PM
As of today, North Carolina is the only state in the country without a budget.

The General Assembly needs to come back to Raleigh next week to fully fund Medicaid and then pass a budget that meaningfully invests in our people and our state.

Scout Motors is revitalizing an iconic American car brand with its HQ right here in North Carolina, bringing $207 million worth of investments that will produce more than 1,200 new jobs in the state.

Welcome to Charlotte! And welcome to North Carolina!

Toyota’s new battery plant represents a $13.9 billion investment that will create 5,100 jobs in North Carolina. It’s the largest corporate investment in state history.

Like all food banks across North Carolina, the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina serves as a critical backstop preventing people from going hungry. It was a pleasure to spend part of Veterans Day volunteering in Raleigh with Lt. Governor Hunt.

Every veteran who calls North Carolina home is an essential part of the fabric of our state.

Happy Veterans Day, North Carolina!  
 
Our veterans show us the true meaning of service. They put others before themselves and remind us of the power of honor, courage, and integrity.  

This Veterans Day, and every day, I am grateful for their service and continued contributions to North Carolina.

NCServes is the first statewide coordinated care system in the country for veterans and their families.

Beginning tomorrow, NCServes will offer extended hours, including nights and weekends, to make sure veterans and their families can get support when they need it most.
