We predict Governor Stein signs the budget into law, but hey, it's #ncpol so anything can happen. wral.com/news/nccapitol…

Start your week with the #DoPoliticsBetter pod: 📢 NC’s new Budget! 🗓️ What’s next at the #NCGA? 🎆 Holiday recess, more 🎙️ Rep Phil Shepard talks with @skydiving11 & me about his 18th century roots in Onslow County and his life and work in #ncpol. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/do-…

Happy #IndependenceDay, #ncpol. Now a challenge for you. Much has been written about Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, collaborators on the Declaration of Independence, whose bitter rivalry in the 1790s is cited to remind us that our nation has always been divided. After all, these two men disagreed on almost everything, exchanged harsh words, sabotaged one another when given the opportunity, and spent years estranged. But, after 35 years after the founding of this great country, they reconciled and wrote more than 150 letters to reflect on history, philosophy, politics, aging, and the extraordinary experiment they had helped launch. And as fate would have it, 200 years ago today, on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, they both died within hours of each other. So in the spirit of friendship, rivalries, political disagreements, and our wonderful ability to find common ground, reach out today to that Democrat and/or Republican you disagree with and wish them a Happy Independence Day. 🇺🇸

Happy Independence Day from the NC Travel Industry Association and destinations across our great state. 🇺🇸

NEW #DoPoliticsBetter 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/do-… NC’s new budget arrives just in time for the Independence Day celebration! @skydiving11 & I unpack it and chat #ncpol with Rep Phil Shepard, of the 2010 class.

Start your budget week with the #DoPoliticsBetter pod: 🎱 All signs point to Budget by July 1 ⛔️ Veto override votes in House 🌀 @Canes visit #ncpol 🎙️ @ncculture Secretary Pam Cashwell talks to @skydiving11 & me about #America250, her life in rural NC as a Native American, & how it motivated her to serve. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/do-…

Thrilled to report @tjbugbee and I won the @Lochmere_Golf Member-Guest (Net) this weekend (and came in 4th in the overall gross standings). TJ played lights out golf with so many birdies, but the Par 4 eagle on Hole 2 after greening his drive was just incredible. While I contributed a pair of birdies and a fews pars over our 27 holes played, my biggest contribution to this championship effort was texting TJ last month and asking him to be my partner. Proud to have won with a great friend at my home golf course, which by the way, did a great job hosting. And as photo 2 indicates, I'm insufferable and will be for quite some time. ⛳️ #NoPoliticsSunday

Governor Stein signs 'tourism-related expenses' bill, NC's #America250 events on July 4, and the only hurricanes our industry loves - the Carolina @Canes! @ncculture @NC_Governor #ncpol nctia.wildapricot.org/resources/Docu…

Just here to report facts. #ncpol

Last week I got the opportunity to speak at @campbelledu for the @NCCAHT’s conference about policy and collective impact. I look forward to continuing to work together to help survivors. #ncpol

Start your week with @skydiving11, me, and the #DoPoliticsBetter pod: 💰 Budget timeline 🗳️ Election bill on the move 👂 Rumor, @Canes party, more 🎙️ A special #ncpol Fathers Day conversation ⬇️

“A leisurely Sunday round of golf,” I thought. My son had a very different definition of ‘leisurely.’ Yes, this was every hole. But it was a good #FathersDay

NC House Bill 958 is an elections reform bill that some say is necessary for honest elections & another side calling it an attack on voting itself. Go to ncleg.gov &search H958 and read it. @skydiving11 of @NewFrameInc explains how she dissects big bills. #ncpol

Happy #Father’s Day from all of us at New Frame and the #DoPoliticsBetter #podcast. This week @skydiving11 and I feature a conversation with social conservative Jere Royall, Counsel at the @NCFPC. The veteran lobbyist talks about his father, former Senate Majority Leader Ken Royall, a Democrat. It’s a heartfelt discussion of #ncpol, a father and son’s relationship around it, and a legacy that carries on. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/do-…

Check out my colleague @skydiving11, who was a guest panelist last night on @MyPBSNC's State Lines hosted by @kellymccullen. Skye was joined by Sen. @ToddJohnsonNC35, Rep. @sarahcrawfordnc, and @newsobserver #ncpol reporter @dawnbvaughan. video.pbsnc.org/video/june-19-…

The Stanley Cup celebration comes to downtown Raleigh Saturday morning. A parade celebrating the Carolina Hurricanes' championship steps off beginning at 11 a.m. wral.com/news/local/can…

@abtechprez @skydiving11 Thank you, John. While the @Canes have gifted us 2 championships over the last two decades, let’s never take for granted the annual visits by our friend from the North Pole. 🎅🏽

The latest #DoPoliticsBetter podcast, specifically our unsubstantiated rumor re: a movement to recruit House Majority Leader @BrendenJonesNC to run for governor in 2028, made #ncpol news @NRnews_NC @JustinSmithNC. 🎙️
