Welcome! The members of the North Carolina Democratic Senate Caucus invite you to:

  • Get the help you need
  • Get involved in the business of leading our state

But first, a few words about what we do ...

The Democratic majority in the NC Senate is proud of what we have accomplished while working for you, the people. We have:

  • Worked to lower the dropout rate
  • Provided funds to help our senior citizens afford prescription drugs.
  • Coupled good environmental policy with economic development.
  • Enacted clean energy efficiency standards to reduce the burden of foreign oil, help cut pollution, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Passed Jessica’s Law requiring mandatory sentences for convicted child sex predators.
  • Provided tax credits for working families and small businesses

There is still much to do to ensure prosperity for North Carolina families in these uncertain times. In Raleigh we are working to:
 
  • Create jobs
  • Protect the middle class
  • Guarantee a better future for our children with increasingly better public education and more affordable healthcare.

With your support, we are determined to continue fighting to make North Carolina an even better place to live. Feel free to visit this site often and use it to stay informed about your North Carolina Democratic Senators!
