North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Jason Simmons writes in North State Journal that North Carolina is rejecting Democrats because our policies work!

Selected excerpts: 

"Whether it’s the economy, public safety or education, Democrats have failed to lead and failed to implement policies to help North Carolina families. By contrast, Republicans have focused on delivering a family-first agenda to make our state a better place to live, work and retire."

"Not only have Republicans made life better for families, but we have also invested billions of dollars in our rainy-day fund. Democrats in 2010 left a mess for Republicans to clean up: high taxes, sputtering economic growth and billions of dollars in debt to the federal government.

Once Republicans paid back this debt, leaders in the General Assembly courageously set aside funds to ensure we would never find ourselves in the same situation. Today, funds from these accounts are able to be deployed to help western North Carolina recover from Hurricane Helene."

"When Republicans took over the General Assembly in 2011, improving education outcomes was the guiding principle. Meaningful changes have been implemented such as performance increases, Science of Reading skills and over $1 billion in additional funding. The last time Democrats controlled the state legislature, teachers were furloughed and education funds were cut in order to pay for Democrats’ wasteful spending. Most importantly, however, was a recognition that public schools were not the only way we can educate our children."

"The policy differences between Republicans and Democrats are clear. At the ballot box, North Carolina families are choosing Republicans and rejecting Democrats. Today, there are more elected Republicans in every level of government than ever before. As the Golden Age under President Trump’s common-sense leadership makes our country great again, North Carolina’s success is evidence that good policy does indeed make good politics."
