I couldn't have had a better friend or mentor when I got to the General Assembly than Rep. Graham. He sat in front of me until he left. He was a smart, patient and kind man that loved his district. #ncpol https://t.co/lyCmmjpBzN

Aw, crap. Rest in peace, George.

NC Gov. Roy Cooper wants #NCGA to adjust the salary schedule for teachers so they receive at least a 7.5% increase between this past year & the upcoming fiscal year, He also wants retention bonuses for school employees. (Via @dawnbvaughan) #nced #ncpol https://t.co/uV2U8QSAdu

We need to do these things before our teacher attrition rate blows through the roof.

Canceling student debt will allow the young people of this country to take the money that they would be giving to speculators and put it directly into the economy.

As our economy lags, canceling student debt could boost us out of this rut.#CancelStudentDebt #nc03 #ncpol

This is a side of this issue that needs much more coverage. It ain't rocket surgery. Reducing the debt burden for millions *will* boost the economy, a lot.

It's not a deep-state plot, Amy. One of your idiots pushed the wrong buttons, I'm sure.

Government for the rich and by the rich.

This is the height of corruption and dysfunctional government - put in place by Republicans for exactly this situation.

The FEC was crippled intentionally so they could lie cheat and steal without any impact.#ncpol https://t.co/hXX4ZZiS4W

And it's why state-level boards of election are so important. Somebody's got to watch these jerks.

So I think my watching the #ncpol primary election results will just be waking up in the morning #uktime

Yeah, I get up for work at 5:15 a.m. I'm not sitting up refreshing the page until oh-dark-thirty (and before you try to correct me, that's how we used to say it, not "zero dark thirty")

Tell that to your GOP colleagues, they're the ones that need to hear it.

Tomorrow is Election Day, and I am very proud of our campaign and our team. One thing is certain, I could not have gotten here without the love, support and hard work of my amazing wife! Thank you all! Remember to vote tomorrow! #ncpol #NC13 pic.twitter.com/ebKSlkLOTg

If I was in the 13th, I might have changed to Unaffiliated (briefly) so I could vote for this (Army) guy. But I'm in the 4th now. Let me repeat, I AM IN THE 4TH DISTRICT NOW, AND WILL HAVE A DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS! Sorry, I get a little excited...

On that glorious note, here's your Onion:
