Hi John —

Republicans in the State House released their budget last night and — to be blunt — this budget hurts children, parents, businesses, and our economy.

Republican legislators are continuing their effort to strip away funding from our state’s public education system and divert 4 billion dollars of taxpayer money to unaccountable and unregulated private schools through the use of school vouchers.

The House Republican budget doesn’t come close to fixing the child care crisis. Under this budget, child care centers could be forced to close their doors, parents won’t be able to afford quality care for their kids, businesses will lose parents as employees, and our nationally recognized NC Pre-K won’t be able to serve the students who need it.

Roy’s proposed budget directs resources to the teachers and students who need them most, giving public school teachers an 8.5% raise and investing $745 million to strengthen access to child care and early education for working families.

North Carolina students deserve a top-tier education, and teachers deserve a living wage. Please sign on here to urge Republicans in the legislature to pass Roy’s proposed budget and fund public education in NC >>>

Thank you for taking action!

North Carolina is set to be one of the most important swing states in the 2024 elections.

Republicans need to win NC to return Donald Trump to the White House. Meanwhile, Roy is committed to flipping our state blue for President Biden.

Roy is term-limited and can’t run again this time, and our upcoming gubernatorial election is considered the most competitive gubernatorial contest in the country. Meanwhile, Republicans hold just one-seat supermajorities in both chambers of the state legislature — we MUST break the supermajorities to prevent the GOP from enacting their radical agenda in North Carolina.

Join Roy in the fight to elect Democrats at every level of the North Carolina ballot this November. Donate today.
