When you think of the "average voter" in North Carolina, who do you think of? And how do you know? We're diving into the numbers to get a better sense of what the "average" voter really looks like.

Direct federal government assistance has quietly become the backbone of rural North Carolina's economy. The reason: most rural counties have been in a permanent recession for 15 years running, and the leaders of our state legislature have mostly decided they're fine with that. 💸

Here's what happened this week in North Carolina politics. Halifax, Hoke, Vance, Robeson and Cumberland - your state supreme court failed you this week. Don't let them forget you. 🤜

We live in a society, and we all have responsibilities in it.

Businesses keep telling me - banking in market towns just isn’t doesn't work for them. There’s nowhere to open or manage accounts, sign documents, get advice, or sort problems face‑to‑face. Online and phone banking simply isn’t enough for many rural businesses.

Patients deserve an easy way to discover the lowest price to pay. I applaud the President in bringing attention to drug costs. But if you want a one stop shop for low prices, TrumpRx isn’t it. @mcuban.bsky.social and @costplusdrugs.com @goodrx.bsky.social are much more comprehensive.
