Also some big wins for criminal justice reform in the states:
- Virginia approved constitutional amendment restoring voting rights to people with felony convictions
- Houston approved limiting low-level marijuana enforcement & no-knock warrants
- Massachusetts rejected ending recreational cannabis
- David Crowley's win in WI in an election where criminal justice reform was a major point of contention. Roy Cooper also prevailed in NC despite Willie Horton attacks

It's a long shot for Democrats for sure, but there's some possibility that once remaining provisional and mail-in ballots are counted in the Danny Britt race, that margin could change. And it's likely gonna be in recount territory. #ncpol #ncga

Whatley's campaign and NC Senate GOP leaders decided in August 2025 that crime was going to be the focus of both the primary election in NC, and the entirety of Whatley's campaign.
Over the last decade, we have shown and confirmed through multiple rounds of polling, etc - that voters across the aisle, but GOP voters in particular, prefer a solutions driven message on crime. They see generic "tough on crime" rhetoric as something from their grandparent's time.
Voters in NC have known Roy Cooper for decades. No one believed he made NC "a blood soaked killing field."
Focusing on Cooper and crime prevented House Republicans from pointing to policies that North Carolina voters cared about.
That may never have been enough to change the tides in '26, but as we've said since August - focusing on crime for the next year is going to do real harm to NC, but it's not going to win.
I wrote about what went wrong for Michael Whatley in North Carolina.
The national environment was brutal for Republicans. But the warning signs were there: Whatley ran behind the GOP, voters cared far more about affordability than crime, and the campaign rarely adjusted.
In September, Whatley called a Carolina Journal poll a “trash poll.”
The final CJ poll had him at 39.1%. He finished at 39.1%.

The NC House went Blue & it looks like Republicans will hold on to the NC Senate. @Burgin4Senate wants to lead that chamber.
This could be a big for the #mentalhealth community, as Burgin has worked toward improving our mental health system. #ncga #ncpol wral.com/news/nccapitol/repu…

Governor Stein proclaimed November as Veterans Appreciation Month, recognizing the service of nearly 700,000 veterans that call North Carolina home.
Every year, around 20,000 servicemembers transition to civilian life in our state, bringing industry-valued skills & experience.
The report from NC's Criminal Justice Analysis Center shows that domestic violence, or DV, played a role in the majority of murders of women and girls across the state.

“We should be especially concerned when young people begin to see gambling not as a form of entertainment with financial risks, but as a reliable way to make money.”
In a new op-ed, @josephspicozzi, co-leader of Pennsylvania’s Problem Gambling Caucus, outlines potential reforms to make online gambling safer and more transparent for consumers.

Sen. Danny Britt helped advance Iryna’s Law. His warning in @WRAL report deserves attention: stronger requirements alone cannot fix the gaps in North Carolina’s criminal justice and mental health systems.
Courts, law enforcement, and treatment providers need the resources to carry out the responsibilities lawmakers give them. Otherwise, counties and taxpayers are left managing the consequences—and communities remain at risk.
Fiscal responsibility means investing wisely, measuring results, and holding government accountable for delivering safer communities. We hope our leaders will remain committed to finding solutions that keep all North Carolinians safe.

1/2 Clint Bolick is a justice on the Arizona Supreme Court, former vice president for litigation at the @GoldwaterInst, and co-founder and former vice president for litigation of @IJ. On November 16, Bolick will be the keynote speaker at #FreeCon Phoenix, hosted by Goldwater, the @1912Institute, and other partners.
In a broadcast interview discussing the public reaction to Charlie Kirk’s murder, he bemoaned the use of government power to punish or discourage freedom of speech. “I think Charlie Kirk himself had said it best: There is no such thing as legal hate speech that can be regulated or curtailed,” Bolick said. “It is speech, and all speech is protected.”
When the FCC subsequently threatened the broadcast licenses of ABC stations after Jimmy Kimmel’s comments about Kirk, it exceeded its legal role, he explained. “The moment that the government puts its fingers on the scale and coerces speech, that is clearly improper.”
One of most critical protections of the First Amendment is the U.S. government’s separation of powers, especially the exertion of authority between the legislative and executive branches, he argued. “We either have universal free speech rights that apply to all of us, or we do not have free speech rights at all.” #FreeCon

When you're on the road this Halloween, slow down and watch for children walking along streets, crossing roads and entering or leaving driveways. Trick-or-treaters can be hard to see after dark, so stay alert and avoid distractions. Let's keep Halloween fun and safe for everyone!
ALT A street sign shows a cartoon ghost on a crosswalk, indicating a warning for trick-or-treaters. Below, the text reads: "Little monsters may be crossing! Slow down. Stay alert. Watch for trick-or-treaters." In the background, there are blurred houses and people. The logo "DPS" for North Carolina Department of Public Safety is visible.

Described as among the first public political acts by women in America, the Edenton Tea Party, which occurred on this date Oct. 25, 1774, was one of North Carolina’s most important pre-Revolutionary protests. 51 women signed a resolution pledging to boycott British tea and cloth in opposition to British taxation and trade policies.
In March of 1775, a satirical print titled "A Society of Patriotic Ladies, at Edenton in North Carolina" was published in London (seen here). The artist portrayed the women in an unflattering and scandalous manner, essentially ridiculing the provocative idea of colonial women involving themselves in politics. The original print survives in the Library of Congress. #Celebrate250
