Too many politicians want to be something. I'm running because I want to do something.

As I’ve traveled the state, I’ve heard how difficult it is to get by now. I want to make life easier for North Carolinians, and that starts with making stuff cost less. My opponent only wants to make life easier for his friends in DC.

Oil companies are reporting historic profits this quarter, while NC is struggling to fill up at the pump. Know who else is profiting? My opponent, Michael Whatley, thanks to his stock in these companies that he refuses to sell and the Iran war he continues to support.

I’m running for the Senate to make life easier today. To go after insurance companies ripping you off. To make sure you can retire with dignity. And to build an economy that finally values working people.

Families are still adjusting their budgets because of the reckless tariffs and ongoing war Michael Whatley supports. Hardworking Americans should not have to shoulder that burden. https://apnews.com/article/grocery-shopping-prices-food-affordability-8468c1d6532ca762bbcfa17e3c7707d1

We have so much more in common than we realize. We all want good schools, a good paying job, clean air and water and good opportunities for future generations.

Over the weekend this team knocked over 25,000 doors across all 100 counties. Greensboro, your energy was amazing yesterday! Keep up the great work.

Hardworking North Carolinians should not have to keep worrying about how expensive this month’s electric bill will be or whether they can afford to feed their families.

Michael Whatley is fighting for the billionaire friends he made while working as a Big Oil and utility company lobbyist in DC. I am fighting for hardworking North Carolinians.

As I’ve spoken with North Carolinians across the state, folks have been open about their struggles. Rising grocery prices, surprise billing from a doctor’s visit, expensive child care. These struggles and the people affected by them are why I’m running for the US Senate.

I'm praying for the loved ones of Sgt. Michael Swinton of Fayetteville and First Lieutenant Tyler Feehan, both based at Fort Bragg and who were killed in action this weekend, and for the safety of all who courageously serve their country.

Happy race day, North Wilkesboro! We fought to bring the speedway back to life and I’m excited for today.

The answer is a lot. Chemours contaminated our state's drinking water for four decades, which is why as Governor my administration sued them. Chemours knows that as Senator I will keep fighting to keep these chemicals out of our water — that's why they're donating money to my opponent.

Insurance companies have gotten away with far too much for far too long. I have a plan to take them on so you actually get what you paid for.

We live in the richest country in the world — every North Carolinian should have access to quality, affordable health care.

My opponent is the former head of the national Republican Party and a Big Oil and utility company lobbyist — the quintessential DC insider. Maybe if he spent a little more time speaking with North Carolinians, he’d understand the tough realities so many are facing.

While I was Governor, we built a bipartisan coalition to pass Medicaid Expansion and get affordable health care to hundreds of thousands of working people. People didn’t think it was possible, but we didn’t let that stop us.

Right now, there’s a parent having to buy cheaper cereal for their kids. A hardworking employee wondering how to keep paying for health insurance. A young professional staring down a utility bill that’s nearly double what it was last year. Getting by shouldn’t be this expensive.

My opponent thinks prices are down and the economy is doing great. The North Carolinians I’m speaking with on the road sure don’t feel the same way.

Folks in Anson County are ready to make stuff cost less.

It’s too hot out, and your utility bills are higher than they should be. My opponent fought to raise your rates when he lobbied Congress for utility companies like Duke Energy. I’m ready to be a Senator who fights to lower them.

North Carolinians are struggling to afford groceries and rent while members of Congress and executive branch officials make money trading individual stocks. Looks bad. Is bad. Should be banned.

We are fortunate to live in a great country and it’s up to us to keep the American Dream alive and well. Happy Fourth of July!

For the past 250 years, the United States has remained a model for the unending fight for freedom and democracy. I’m proud to be an American, and I’m more committed than ever to help leave a better country for our children.

Michael Whatley spent his career lobbying for Big Oil and utility companies, making sure they can raise your rates. North Carolinians deserve better than this DC Insider as their Senator.

Today, the Supreme Court allowed megadonors, billionaires and shady corporate money the power to drown out the voices of millions of voters and small dollar donors.

Affordable, accessible health care should be the norm. When I get to Washington, I will work across the aisle to help make it a reality for hardworking North Carolinians.

Fired up and ready to go in Macon County. To all the volunteers knocking doors or making calls: Thank you. We can't do this without you.

Great energy in Asheville yesterday.

Families are being crushed by high prices, and western NC desperately needs significantly more federal funding to rebuild. This administration has just asked Congress for a ton of Iran war funding but nothing for western NC. Why is Recovery Czar Michael Whatley letting this happen?
