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

Sen. Waddell’s push for a stronger retiree COLAs and full LEO retirement after 25 years was just killed in the Senate. The least we can do for those who serve and protect our state is to make sure their service is rewarded. #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

Instead of standing up for education and kids' programming that actually brings us together, Republicans cut funding from PBS in last week’s Senate budget. What kind of grouch does that??? #SavePBS #ncpol

NC Senate Republicans just voted to let child abusers bring guns into your child’s private school—without a background check (RIL List). They had the chance to stop it, and they voted NO. This is what they chose. Not safety. Not responsibility. Just danger for our kids. #ncpol

Today, Senate & House Dems held a Bill Funeral for the over 700 bills Republicans buried without debate this session. No hearings. No votes. Just silence. In one of the most unproductive sessions ever, they chose obstruction, but we’re fighting back. #KilledInCommittee #ncpol

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.

This past weekend, Sen. Salvador not only graduated with her MBA from MIT — she also delivered the keynote address at commencement! Sen. Salvador is one of the brightest minds in North Carolina and we’re incredibly lucky to have her in the NC Senate. 💙👏 #ncpol #MITGrad
