Great read on how far we’ve come. Proud of this team. This can be another Cup year for our Canes. https://www.theassemblync.com/news/culture/sports/carolina-hurricanes-stanely-cup-playoffs/

The president and Michael Whatley promised to deal with high prices but they’ve only made things worse. Families are clearly hurting right now and they couldn’t care less.

Electricity costs are skyrocketing, and they’re only going to get higher over summer. Today, we heard from folks in Johnston County on how they’re affected and discussed my plans to make it better.

I love North Carolina with all my heart. I was humbled to serve the people as Governor for eight years. But my work is not finished. As your Senator, I will keep fighting for a better future for North Carolinians.

Costs are too high. Buying a house seems unthinkable. Child care is unaffordable. The American Dream feels unattainable right now, and DC isn’t helping, it’s hurting. We need to change that.

North Carolinians should not have to choose between paying for health care coverage and other bills. https://www.notus.org/healthcare/aca-healthcare-dropped-insurance-numbers-subsidies

This National Police Week, I’m grateful for the men and women in law enforcement who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. Thank you for your service.

My opponent has been telling us that the inflation caused by this administration is coming down. Whatley, what do you have to say now that inflation is through the roof and North Carolina families are feeling it?

Next month, we’ll see utility bills jump here in NC. Duke Energy is threatening to jack up their rates and Michael Whatley — who spent years lobbying for Duke Energy — hasn’t said a word. Ratepayers should NOT have to shoulder the cost of volatile fuel markets and industrial demands.

Happy Mother’s Day! I’m especially grateful to have known two amazing mothers in my life: my wife Kristin and my mom Beverly. They’ve taught me invaluable lessons, and I’m fortunate to celebrate them today.

It’s no secret that truckers and drivers are paying more due to the war in Iran. This administration is making it hard for people to keep it all afloat. https://ncnewsline.com/2026/05/07/north-carolina-truckers-drivers-feel-pain-of-iran-war-gas-hikes/

Look, I have spoken with business owners across the state who are telling me the same thing — DC’s chaos is hurting their bottom line. https://www.cbs17.com/news/local-news/wake-county-news/nc-business-owners-outline-continued-challenges-caused-by-high-gas-prices/

Washington needs to focus on lowering costs at home. North Carolinians cannot take much more of this. https://www.axios.com/2026/05/07/gas-prices-iran-war-peace-deal?utm_campaign=mrf-utm_campaign=editorial&utm_source=x&utm_medium=owned_social&mrfcid=2026050769f26342d2e5ee7a5a3f3f2c

In addition to expensive health care, child care and housing, gas prices are the rotten cherry on top of your wallet’s pain. Working North Carolinians shouldn’t have to pay the price for DC’s chaos.

We agree on more than we realize. Compromise is not a dirty word.

I will fight for all North Carolinians in the Senate.

Back in Greensboro yesterday and this time we talked about my plan to make housing cost less. That means stopping big corporations from buying single-family homes, ending tariffs driving up prices for building materials and supporting the construction of more homes.

High farming costs mean high consumer prices, and neither farmers nor consumers can shoulder the bill they’re incurring. No one wants this, but my opponent doesn’t seem to care.

Michael Whatley remains in lockstep with the administration and the DC insiders, who say the economy is “roaring” and prices are coming down. The situation must be different up in Washington, because the North Carolinians I’m talking with aren’t feeling good.

The average price of gas in North Carolina is now over $4. That's a huge problem.

Beer out of the skate, Diet Sun Drop out of the Cup.

Congress failed working North Carolinians when they failed to extend ACA subsidies. When I get to Washington, I’ll fight for you to have access to affordable, quality health care. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/business/obamacare-enrollment-decline.html

Getting gas and groceries shouldn’t break your budget. I’m committed to working across the aisle to make stuff cost less.

As Attorney General and Governor, I fought to make North Carolina safer and more prosperous. I will continue that mission as your Senator.

Determined to take on the chaos in Washington.

Rising gas prices are hurting North Carolinians’ wallets, especially for our farmers. https://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/news/2026/04/30/fuel-fertilizer-prices-north-carolina-farmers.html?csrc=6398&taid=69f3c813083ff200013ab013&

Teachers, thank you for all you do.

This campaign is about fighting for what’s right. This week, I was fortunate to return to the place and people who first showed me what that means. To my neighbors, thank you for joining me and I look forward to serving you in the United States Senate.

My opponent doesn’t think you deserve quality, affordable health care. It doesn’t get more out of touch than that.

Gas in North Carolina costs a dollar more than it did just last year, and we all know why. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article315564730.html#storylink=cpy

While my opponent profits from the pain of working families, I’m running to bring costs down.

No matter what Michael Whatley says, the people of North Carolina know that prices are up. It’s time to make stuff cost less.

For too many families, there’s just too much month at the end of the money. As Senator, I’ll work across the aisle to help change that. https://www.axios.com/2026/04/28/trump-economy-gallup-finances

I’m ready to make stuff cost less.

Farmers and families are feeling the squeeze of gas and diesel prices. When is enough enough? https://www.newsobserver.com/news/business/article315526585.html?taid=69efa1cee23f1b000178eadf&

North Carolinians are struggling with health care costs and insurance companies are ripping them off. We’re the richest country in the world. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Hard fought, gritty sweep for our Canes in the first round. That Stankoven long term signing looks pretty good right now, eh?

Prices are skyrocketing and working families are footing the bill. It must end.

North Carolina families are already dealing with inflation, and now because of the war, these brutal gas prices are forcing people to rethink their budgets. Working Americans should not have to shoulder these costs. https://www.witn.com/2026/04/23/enc-drivers-adjust-spending-due-rise-gas-prices/

Great to be in Kinston today. Together, with your help, we will win this Senate seat, lower costs for hardworking families, build a stronger North Carolina and make stuff cost less!

North Carolina small business owners are paying more because of DC’s failed leadership. This needs to end. https://www.wral.com/news/local/local-business-pressure-rising-diesel-prices-iran-war-april-2026/

We’re supposed to get used to higher gas prices? This is ridiculous. North Carolinians are paying almost $4 a gallon at the pump. https://www.axios.com/2026/04/21/gas-prices-high-iran-strait-hormuz

Diesel and fertilizer costs are up: the latest hurdle for North Carolina’s farmers. We need to make stuff cost less — their work affects us all. www.blueridgenow.com/story/news/l...

My opponent helped lead the charge to double health care premiums for North Carolinians, while he personally profited. Washington needs leaders who put people’s interests ahead of their own. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/opinion/article315423012.html

My opponent’s going to spend millions lying about me. I’ve worked hard for North Carolinians and I won’t back down.

I believe everyone deserves quality, affordable health care.

The chaos in Washington is driving prices through the roof, and North Carolinians are fed up. It’s time to make stuff cost less.

While working families continue to be hit hard by skyrocketing prices, this Whatley-backed administration has no plan to lift the burden of a costly war. North Carolina families deserve better. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/04/15/trump-gas-prices-summer-00873588

Children need safe, healthy places to learn and grow. Parents should be able to work and support their families. And businesses need a strong, capable workforce. Great to be in Wilmington today to talk about making child care cost less and setting families up for success.

Growing up working on the farm, I learned that every season brings new challenges, many of them out of our control. But right now our farmers are being hit with skyrocketing costs — and we all know why.
