Gonna be super annoying dealing with all these UNC fans who used to hate the Patriots with Brady but now love them because of Maye and even more annoying that I'm one of them.

NEW: Jim Hunt, the legendary former NC governor, died today at 88 It was my honor to write his obituary for the @nytimes nytimes.com/2025/12/18/us/…

Former North Carolina Governor Jim Hunt passed away today, December 18, 2025, at age 88. He was a beloved friend to many and a strong ally to business leaders across the state, guiding North Carolina through a transformational era. His emphasis on education, jobs, and economic growth leaves an enduring legacy. He will always be remembered as North Carolina's Governor. #ncpol

I can think of no one who shaped North Carolina’s recent successes as much as Governor Jim Hunt. Governor for 16 years, he was a visionary who founded Smart Start, raised teacher pay, protected air quality, and created the NC Biotech Center. On a personal level, he was a mentor and dear friend. Anna and I are keeping Carolyn, Rachel, and the entire Hunt family in our thoughts and prayers. May Governor Hunt’s memory be a blessing. He certainly was for North Carolina.

TARRRRRR

There is absolutely no room in our nation for political violence. Everyone should condemn this senseless murder and call for the better angels of our nature to prevail.

Today, we joined partner and grantee @E2DInc at @uncfsu to distribute free laptops to first-generation college students. This week alone, E2D is delivering 800 laptops to students across the state so they can complete courses, apply for internships and connect with professors.

This week, @NCSCIO and @RepJakeJohnson joined @ymcawnc, @CharterGov, @E2DInc and the Community Foundation of Henderson County to distribute laptops in Hendersonville so residents impacted by Hurricane Helene have the tech tools they need for our digital world. #ConnectedNC

EQV Strategic client, @KPMG , spoke on two panels at last week’s North Carolina Digital Government Summit. KPMG Principal Mike Lutz shared with NCDIT Chief Deputy Secretary Torre Jessup a private sector perspective on public sector technology strategies and needs; and KPMG director Sarah Rodriguez spoke on a panel about how to bridge communication gaps between business and government technology decision-makers as digital transformation changes how the state does business. And it’s always great to hear from NCDIT Secretary and Chief Information Officer Teena Piccione about her vision for the state!

It was wonderful to honor Dr. King’s legacy by volunteering alongside fellow @NCDIT team members today at @Kramden to refurbish computers for people in western NC. Both Kramden and @E2DInc are doing an amazing job meeting NC's digital needs and supporting Helene recovery efforts.
