By tabling Senator sophiafornc's measures on childcare and paid family leave, Republicans turned their backs on working parents - AGAIN. North Carolina’s families deserve better than this. #ncpol


Senator Gale Adcock's call for a nurse in every school was just rejected. Our children’s health and safety shouldn’t be a partisan issue. #ncpol


Republicans shot down Senator Senator Natalie Murdock's Momnibus and maternal health amendments, casting aside the needs of new mothers and babies. This refusal to invest in healthy pregnancies reveals just how little they care. #ncpol


Senator Sen. Jay Chaudhuri's effort to bolster Medicaid was just blocked. Senate Democrats spent over a decade fighting for Medicaid, and we’re not giving up now. #ncpol



Despite Senator Lisa Grafstein's push for DMV reforms to shorten your wait in line, Republicans tabled her plan. We stand with families who need these vital services. #ncpol


Senator Val Applewhite tried to protect North Carolinians and law enforcement from stolen weapons. Republicans said no. Who exactly are they protecting? #ncpol


By rejecting Senator Sen. Michael Garrett's proposal for small business support and housing solutions, Republicans just sent a clear message that they don’t care about families finding a place to call home in NC. #ncpol


Senator Sydney Batch's plan to tie the minimum wage to inflation was just shot down. The same politicians who tied their own campaign contributions to inflation won’t do the same for you. #ncpol





Tomorrow, NC Democratic Party House Caucus & NC Senate Democrats will hold a press conference highlighting legislation buried by the NCGOP this Session. #ncpol Speakers: Sydney Batch Leader Reives Senator Natalie Murdock @WoodsonBradley Lisa Grafstein Lindsey Prather Representative, Bryan Cohn Representative Dante Pittman


NC Senate Democrats and NC Democratic Party House Caucus gathered here today to mourn the death of bills filed by Democratic legislators that have died in committee. #ncpol #KilledInCommittee #crossover

SB611, which I filed with Senator Natalie Murdock, would let people renew their license online twice in a row - saving up to 1M DMV appointments per year. Responsible governing - on the long list of DOA bills that could have improved people’s lives. We will keep fighting for it.


So the NC House Republicans can't afford to provide school lunch at public schools because they need to fund private schools?!? Got it. #ncpol
