The opioid crisis has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of North Carolinians. While some patients are able to access medication to treat addiction, most adults seeking treatment still struggle to access medications for Opioid Use Disorder.

Voters are focused on lowering costs and economic stability, and Cooper’s message is gaining traction as many North Carolinians reconsider Republican leadership.

“Rural communities are the backbone of North Carolina, and it’s important that we hear directly from people across our state… These listening sessions help us focus our efforts and make smart investments in economic opportunity, infrastructure, education, and health care.”

All five of North Carolina’s Republican Supreme Court justices and Sarah Stevens, the 2026 Republican nominee for Supreme Court, were featured at and attended West’s event, raising tens of thousands of dollars for their campaigns, according to the group’s press release.

Republican activists and voters are discontent with the Republican establishment, claiming they’ve lost touch with the voters they’re meant to represent, and during this pivotal election year, the discontent can be seen up and down the ballot.

“Our students need funding in our public schools. We see the lack of a state budget impacting our educators, because they are having to make real decisions about if they are going to remain in the profession,” said North Carolina Association of Educators President Tamika Walker Kelly.

“Whatley has already profited from policy decisions he championed, eroding what little trust people already have in Washington politicians,” Cooper said. “I believe candidates must earn the trust of North Carolinians.”

Stevens has practiced law for over 30 years and has been a member of the House of Representatives since 2009– she’s currently serving on the House Election Law Committee. Her political and legal experience makes it all the more troubling that she could make such a mistake as she pursues a seat on the state’s highest court.

“Duke Energy’s proposed rate hike is simply too high and comes as the company is also retreating on more affordable clean energy. At a time when families are struggling to make ends meet, we should be doing everything we can to make life more affordable, not less. I will continue to fight on behalf of every North Carolinian to lower costs and grow the economy,” said Stein.

For many North Carolinians, the most common forms of identification won’t qualify. Even the Real ID driver’s licenses that residents have spent years obtaining wouldn’t work because North Carolina licenses don’t list citizenship status.

About 600,000 children in our state rely on federal food assistance programs such as SNAP, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

“North Carolinians have already paid billions in unlawful tariffs – our farmers, our manufacturers, and our communities can’t bear more,” Jackson said in a press release. “I’m taking the federal government to court because they broke the law again, they harmed North Carolinians, and I can prove it.”

Durante el Mes de la Historia de la Mujer, mujeres latinas de todo Carolina del Norte se reunieron el jueves por la mañana frente a la Asamblea General estatal para llamar la atención sobre las consecuencias reales de recientes decisiones de política federal y recortes presupuestarios que están afectando a las familias trabajadoras.
