North Carolinians need help. Republican legislators only want to help themselves.
John —
When natural disasters strike our communities, we need leaders to put politics aside and commit to the hard work of rebuilding. But instead of providing much-needed aid to victims of Hurricane Helene, Republican legislators are staging a shameful power grab in the aftermath of this month’s elections.
Failing to provide critical funding and support to western NC right now will have serious consequences for years to come. Our legislators need to do their jobs and help western North Carolina rebuild.
Instead of prioritizing disaster recovery, Republicans are apparently spending the final months with their veto-proof supermajority securing their own hold on power and subverting the will of North Carolina voters.
They are abandoning the people they’re supposed to serve — especially the people who still need help after Helene.
