“Thanks to AFP-NC’s hardworking staff and volunteers, the Old North State has the policy majority it needs to build on the tremendous momentum we’ve seen over the last session. This team has knocked on over 100,000 doors to ensure we have the right leaders in Raleigh. With these policy champions looking out for North Carolinians, we’re ready to get to work expanding education freedom, repealing outdated health regulations that reduce access to healthcare in rural communities, and ensuring that North Carolina remains competitive and attractive to businesses and families.”
