I’ll work with anyone to lower costs for all North Carolinians. That includes lowering costs for farmers, who have been particularly hard hit by tariffs, rising fuel prices from the war, and drought conditions. It was great to share that message at Hickory Nut Gap Farms.

Since Day 1 in office, I’ve worked to lower costs for North Carolinians.  I vetoed a bill that enables Duke Energy to raise prices, but the General Assembly overrode my veto. For two years, we’ve brought SUN Bucks back and kept kids fed through the summer months while lowering their parents’ grocery bills. I’ve established a Health Care Affordability Commission, signed an Executive Order on housing affordability, and relieved more than $6.5 billion in medical debt. We’re taking real action to lower costs for North Carolina, and the General Assembly needs to join me in this effort.
