I’m so proud to have the support of Rep. Bryan Cohn and I hope to have yours too at actblue.com/donate/whalenfornc #ncpol #ncpolitics #election2026 #bluewave #ncdemocrats #voteblue #northcarolina #nc #clt #charlotte #mecklenburg #gastonia #durham #raleigh #asheville #wilmington #vote @cohnnc.com

I’m deeply disturbed by the news that Rep. Cecil Brockman has been charged with indecent liberties with a child and statutory rape. These allegations are unconscionable and incompatible with public service. He should resign immediately. No one is above the law. #ncpol

Can’t staff our prisons? Cut the jobs. Can’t open psych beds? Cut those too. Can’t pay enough to fill vacancies? Just pretend we don’t need them. Then stash $1.1 billion in a rainy day fund like it’s not already pouring in half the state. This is the House budget. #ncpol

🚨The House GOP budget proposes Medicaid work requirements— because clearly, the problem with our healthcare system is that sick people just aren’t hustling hard enough. If you’re too poor or two unwell to afford care, don’t worry… Just bootstrap your way into eligibility. #ncpol

Not layoffs—just erasing unfilled & poorly funded rolls that were already vacant… So instead of funding & filling them, Republicans are just deleting them. Cool. Cool cool cool. #ncpol

Imagine being so “fiscally responsible” that you cut public school transportation…. But stash billions and savings. That’s not budgeting—that’s hoarding. Next up: NCGOP lawmakers start clipping coupons for billionaires. #ncpol

BREAKING: NC House Republicans to bravely cancel DEI Because nothing screams freedom like government-mandated ignorance. They scream about indoctrination—while passing laws to control who can teach and what they can say. I’m voting NO on HB 171. It’s ALL about control. #ncpol

The House GOP voted moments ago for HB 318 to let politicians play border patrol on Facebook while ignoring actual crime, underfunded sheriffs, and broken rural infrastructure. But hey—tough tweets cost less than real solutions. #ncpol apnews.com/article/immi...

www.mobilize.us/ncdphc/event... Join Senator Terence Everitt and I for an important town hall discussion on the impacts of federal funding cuts and what they mean for Granville County.

Packed house yesterday with @cohnnc.com, Rep. Dante Pittman, and all of our friends at Neighbors on Call and County to County. This team is fired up and ready to go!

I’ve introduced the NC Child Care Facility Property Tax Exemption Act to ease burdens on providers & expand access for families. 🏡 Property Tax Relief – Exempts licensed child care facilities from local property taxes. 📈 Lower costs = More affordable child care! #NCChildCare #InvestInFamilies

The Appropriations Committee reviewed & advanced HB 47, the Disaster Recovery Act of 2025, allocating $500M to aid Hurricane Helene recovery in WNC. Funds support community revitalization, agriculture, infrastructure, and debris removal while extending emergency provisions. #NCPOL

Today on the House floor, we honored the life and service of Rep. Joe John. His dedication to justice and the people of North Carolina leaves a lasting legacy. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time. #ncpol

From House Speaker Destin Hall: “Introducing the 2025 Legislative Calendar — as Speaker I am committed to transparency when it comes to delivering results for North Carolinians.”

Excited to attend The Hunt Institute’s Holshouser Legislators Retreat this weekend! Looking forward to meaningful discussions with fellow policymakers about advancing education in NC. Together, we can build stronger schools, empower educators, and ensure success for every student. #NCGA #Education

A little late to the party with posting this, but yesterday we were finally seated in the North Carolina General Assembly!

One of the highlights of today's #Togetherweriserally in #RaleighNC has to be the words of encouragement @cohnnc.com gave the over 1000 people on #HalifaxMall, a newly elected State Rep from NC Dist 32 #ncdemocrats @ncdemocrats.bsky.social

When the crowd size at the #TogetherWeRiseRally in #RaleighNC can be seen in the eyes of the speaker, NC State Rep #BryanCohn (D-Dist 32). @cohnnc.com

Today, we mourn the passing of President Jimmy Carter, a man of faith, compassion, and unyielding service. From the White House to Habitat for Humanity, he dedicated his life to peace, human rights, and helping others. May we honor his legacy of kindness and humility.

The NC State Board of Elections did the right thing today by rejecting Rep. Sossamon’s baseless election protests, protecting the votes of Granville & Vance Co. Every vote matters, and I’m grateful to see the SBOE standing up for our democracy. Let’s move forward. #ncpol

Shame! #ncpol #SB382

Powerful speech from House Democratic leader Robert Reives just before NC Republicans override Cooper’s veto, stripping power from Stein and other Democratic leaders. #ncpol #SB382

This needs way more attention from the media. #ncpol

The NC Democratic Party sues to prevent the state elections board from throwing out votes ncnewsline.com/briefs/the-n...

Bunch of bull.' NC voters furious to learn candidates want to disqualify them. carolinapublicpress.org/67412/nc-res...

Started orientation yesterday. Here we go!

NC swung the least to Trump among swing states, just behind Wisconsin. Here I am with Bryan Cohn on the night of the election after he ousted the Republican incumbent in NC House district 32, breaking the Republican supermajority in the state. I have so much hope. We just gotta keep working ❤️

Hattie Street, a 92-year-old woman who made it a point to vote just days before her death. Instead of honoring her commitment to democracy, NCGOP has sought to cancel her vote. Even the dying wish of an elderly voter is an obstacle to their quest for power. carolinapublicpress.org/67278/protest-…

Yesterday, GOP lawmakers rammed through a secret bill disguised as disaster relief, stripping power from our incoming governor & AG—ignoring voters’ will. This is 🚨legislative authoritarianism🚨 not democracy. NC deserves transparency, not power grabs. Stand up for accountability! #ncpol

🚨 NC taxpayers are funding segregation-era private schools. 💰 $20M in state vouchers went to 20 schools, 85%+ white, in diverse communities. This drains public schools & perpetuates inequality. NC kids deserve better! ##ncpol www.propublica.org/article/...

🚨 Lawmakers return to Raleigh this week & the ##1 priority should be western NC! Helene devastated western NC, leaving businesses & workers in crisis. Instead of funding recovery, GOP lawmakers are funneling millions into unaccountable school vouchers for the wealthy. ##ncpol

Vance and Granville counties have completed canvassing. With all votes now officially counted, our lead grew from 182 to 233 votes. It’s now safe to officially call the GOP supermajority broken!! #ncpol

🚨 #NCHouse32 Update: Leading by 182 votes (0.42%)! With 468 ballots left in Granville County, history shows recounts rarely change outcomes. We’re confident & grateful for your support to end the GOP supermajority. Ready to work for NC! Stay tuned for updates. #NCPOL #Vote
