Election Night 2018
After a long day of working the polls from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. in weather that alternated between raining a little and simply pouring, a tired by still enthusiastic group of volunteers joined me and my husband Kevin at our home for hot food, cool beverages and a few hours of watching election results […]

Raleigh, NC – After the General Assembly recessed in June 2017 what is normally a 10 month break for meetings of study and oversight committees was instead punctuated with extra legislative sessions lasting a few hours to a few days.

HB 2 Repeal and More
HB 2 repeal The March 30 vote on HB 142 (Reset S.L. 2016-3) was one of the most gut-wrenching votes I have taken since being elected to the House. After hours of caucus deliberation, introspection, and after talking with and listening to many people including the Governor, I voted for the bill which passed the […]
Long Session Begins, Early Bills I Support
The LONG session begins Legislators were sworn in en masse Jan 11, then returned Jan 25 for the official start of legislative business. The odd-year legislative session (aka the long session) typically starts in late Jan and ends in July.
