“I write as the elected Commissioner of Labor for the State of North Carolina. One of only four elected commissioners of labor in the country, I have a constitutional responsibility to look after North Carolina’s more than five million workers. Right now, our workers are being hurt by foreign visa programs that depress wages,” Commissioner Farley wrote.
“While we expected to find some cases, this is higher than we anticipated,” said Sam Hayes, executive director of the State Board of Elections
“After spewing hateful rhetoric against President Trump and Republicans, Roy Cooper’s silence on yet another assassination attempt against the president is disgusting. Cooper needs to take a look in the mirror, own up to dangerously raising the temperature, and condemn this heinous act of violence,” said RNC Spokeswoman Emma Hall.

In his statement, Majeed said, “After deep reflections and conversations with constituents across District 99, I have made the decision to disaffiliate from the Democratic Party and serve an Independent. This decision is rooted in my responsibility to represent people—not party agendas— and to remain grounded in integrity, fairness, and truth.”
“This is yet another series of disturbing allegations from Roy Cooper’s Democrat Party,” said Clara Tanner, former Vice President of the UNCW College Republicans. “What is becoming increasingly clear, especially in light of the Eric Swalwell debacle, is that Roy Cooper and establishment Democrats only take on action on these issues due to political pressure. Despite the history of misconduct and misbehavior at events, Cooper was happy to take their money.”
“Everyone everywhere deserves to understand and feel confident when it comes to their finances,” said Treasurer Brad Briner. “This is the simple concept I am trying to achieve. We have been overwhelmed by the response from kids — especially those at the high school level — who not only wanted to learn more but also want be part of this effort.”
“Through our investigations, we at the State Auditor’s Office seek to hold individuals accountable for misguided actions,” said State Auditor Dave Boliek. “What’s been uncovered at NC A&T represents gross misconduct. Given the findings of our investigation, we’ve made a criminal referral to the State Bureau of Investigation and I have fully informed and updated the Guilford County District Attorney. I want to thank NC A&T Chancellor Martin for working with the State Auditor’s Office and for the corrective actions being taken on this matter.”
"Roy Cooper is a yes to the left, so it's no surprise he's refusing to condemn his fellow Democrat for cheering on a fanatical terrorist regime that wants to kill Americans and wipe Israel off the face of the planet. Cooper is too weak to stand up to the pro-terrorist radical left," said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia.
“The health consequences tied to marijuana use are serious, leading to increased risk for heart attacks, strokes, psychotic disorders, and further addictions. When legislating on this issue, Congress needs to put the health and safety of the American people first, full stop. This is exactly why lawmakers need access to reliable data that details Medicaid spending associated with marijuana abuse. Millions of Americans rely on Medicaid healthcare benefits, and my legislation will ensure Congress understands the dangers of this drug and its impact on federally funded health programs,” said Senator Budd.
“Roy Cooper opened the floodgates and then did the bare minimum to inform the public about the criminals being released into their communities,” said Senate Leader Phil Berger. “He made every effort to hide what he did, and Republicans in the General Assembly are going to hold him and Gov. Stein accountable for releasing violent, repeat offenders and endangering our citizens.”

House Speaker Destin Hall said, “Property tax hikes are overburdening North Carolina families, who are footing the bill while some local governments take in far more than inflation and population growth can justify. I applaud the House Select Committee on Property Tax Reduction and Reform for pursuing real reforms like the constitutional amendment on levy limits, which would ease this burden so North Carolinians can keep more of their hard-earned money.”
