It is time to get serious about protecting New Hanover County and the State of North Carolina. Today I officially filed to represent the people of NC House District 20. Let's win this thing!
I’m very grateful to have earned the endorsement of NFIB North Carolina, our state’s leading voice for small business.
Small businesses are the backbone of North Carolina's economy. That isn't just a talking point. They literally make up over 99% of all businesses in our state and employ nearly half our workforce. When our local small businesses are strong, our broader community is happier, healthier, and more vibrant.
This issue is personal and important to me. I'm a small business owner who serves other small businesses every day. As your Representative, I’ll fight in Raleigh to make sure that all the hardworking people of House District 20 keep more of their hard-earned money in their own pockets.
Early voting starts Thursday, October 15. ELECT DANE SCALISE.

🚨BREAKING🚨
NC House Republicans just PASSED the Relief at the Pump Act, suspending state fuel taxes.
Lower prices at the pump and more money in your pocket is a HUGE win for North Carolinians.
Action.
Rising fuel costs are squeezing North Carolina families’ pocketbooks and creating challenges for farmers across the state.
North Carolinians can’t afford to wait.
Today, @SenatorBerger and I are calling for a special session of the General Assembly to provide immediate relief at the pump.
More details forthcoming.

Thank you to the North Carolina Police Benevolent Association, the largest law enforcement association in North Carolina, for endorsing our campaign for NC House!
As your Commissioner, I have been a strong, effective advocate for law enforcement, firefighters (who have also endorsed me), and their families. As your Representative, I will continue fighting in Raleigh for these brave public servants to ensure that they always have what they need to do their jobs and come home to their families.

Two years since Helene devastated Western North Carolina, we remember those we lost and honor the resiliency of all who have tirelessly rebuilt.
Since that day, the General Assembly, led by our Western members, has worked alongside families, farmers, small businesses, volunteers, and communities to help them pick up the pieces.
Our mountains have come a long way, but we know the job isn’t finished. We’ll keep working until WNC is fully back on its feet.
On this 25th anniversary of 9/11, Chair LeAnn Pierce and I joined our local firefighters to thank them for their daily commitment and courage and to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice on that terrible day. We will never forget. God Bless Our Firefighters and God Bless America. Forever and Always.

This local NC race is important to me. You are going to see me post more about it.
Supporting Dane Scalise now is like buying bitcoin in 2016.
Regular, everyday people want regular, everyday people to represent them. Seeing my yard sign in someone's actual yard is humbling. Let's win this thing.
I lived in Chapel Hill when this horrible rape and murder occurred. The Durham District Attorney refuses to seek the death penalty here. I don't know why and I disagree. It should be on the table for the judge and jury to decide.
More than 13 years after UNC student Faith Hedgepeth was killed, a Durham County judge will hear key pretrial motions Monday that could shape what evidence jurors hear at trial. Here's what both sides are asking the court to decide.
LATEST DETAILS: cbs17.com/news/local-news/ju…
The Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) has spent over a year placing unauthorized, non-compliant benches painted with political propaganda at Wave Transit stops. No permits, no ADA compliance, no City of Wilmington or NCDOT approval. To date, the city has taken no action to remove them. Even worse, according to WECT a few days ago, “a city spokesperson said the city continues working with WAVE and DSA, and that no decision about removing the benches has been made.”
What? The city is working with the DSA, an organization whose platform calls for replacing capitalism with socialism as well as abolishing the US Senate, Electoral College, and Supreme Court? Apparently so, I’m afraid. A recent DSA video on social media explained that they are indeed working with the city and Wave to allow the benches to be donated (see screenshot from that video below).
In case you don’t know, New Hanover County contributes a substantial amount of money to Wave every year. We also have numerous appointees to its board of directors. Let me make something very clear: I will do everything I can to ensure that New Hanover County plays no role in this apparent partnership with the DSA.
Now, earlier today, the Cape Fear Proud Boys has posted a public notice ordering the repainting, removal, or destruction of any DSA-built benches. The Proud Boys apparently took one of the DSA benches, repainted it with their own colors and logo, and reinstalled it at a Wave location. Photos of both are attached.
This is exactly what I (and others) predicted would happen. It will not end well.
Enough is enough. I am tired of waiting for others to act.
I’ve requested authorization from NCDOT for New Hanover County to remove these benches from the state right-of-way, since neither we nor Wave have authority on our own. If the city needs help removing the benches on city streets, we will be more than happy to help them also.
I will not abide further lawlessness or calls for vigilantism by the DSA, the Proud Boys, or anyone else. And I will not abide further inaction by local government.
These benches will be removed. Law and order will be restored.

Regardless of our varying political views, I'm glad we can all agree Jimothy is delightful!

Pretty slick for the elected officials of Cary that the N&O and AI will come to their rescue after they are revealed to be living high on the hog with unlimited taxpayer dollars.
VOTE THEM ALL OUT.
