As the 1st Indian American State Senator in Ohio history, President Trump is totally right about this. Kamala Harris owned her Indian American identity when it benefited her, but since running for Vice President she doesn’t talk about it or own it anymore. She is only Black now.

Happy #Diwali Y'all. Today, the State of North Carolina recognized Diwali in two ways. 1st, @NC_Governor issued a proclamation for Diwali. Second, @MMohammedNC & I sponsored Madhu Sharma, former @DukeU Hindu Chaplain, who gave a Diwali prayer in the State Senate. #ncga #ncpol

On the first day of session, the first bill I co-sponsored was expanding Medicaid to help more than 500,000 working families close the health care coverage gap. Let's make North Carolina the 38th state. #NCMedicaid #ncpol #ncga

"The magazine credited NC’s bipartisan efforts with fostering its favorable business approach." As we start a new #NCGA legislative session, let's not jeopardize our momentum by passing anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ, and anti-democratic bills.

North Carolina named best state for business by top industry magazine

The state landed several major economic developments in 2022 including VinFast, Wolfspeed and Boom Supersonic.

I spent 8 yrs working on school safety at @NCAGO . I hoped & prayed that we would never experience a shooting like #VATech . Now, we have w #UNCC . Will #NCGA send thoughts & prayers or do something? Will the #NCGA set up another committee or pass real legis to #EndGunViolence ?

1 / Here's @JeromeAdamsMD , Donald Trump's Surgeon General, essentially making the same arguments as Senate Democrats made last week, both on public health and masks allowed for the KKK. There's nothing partisan about our concerns. Here's Adams' public health argument.

As a physician I am deeply concerned about North Carolina's potential total ban on mask-wearing. It’s disturbing to think immunocompromised and cancer patients could be deemed criminals for following medical advice aimed at safeguarding their health. 😞

NC Supreme Court chief justice replaces the judge in Leandro school funding case

Republican Michael Robinson will take over the Leandro case just as the Supreme Court has ordered him to review whether to amend an order directing the state to turn over $1.7 billion for schools.

N.C. Constitution states that "Lieutenant Governor shall be President of the Senate." The #NCGA website states the Lt. Gov. is "[t]he presiding officer of the Senate." Mark Robinson presided over the N.C. Senate exactly ZERO times this year. #ncpol

In the Congressional District 13, there’s a clear choice: a pro-democracy candidate & an anti-democracy candidate; and, one who can work across the aisle, and one who’s an extremist. The choice is clear: @wileynickel , & the AAPI community has his back.

After a tough yr, I'm holding this Oscar Wilde quote close: "When it rains, look for a rainbow; when it's dark, look for the stars." Let's look for rainbows & stars in these hard times & remember & help those less fortunate. Wishing a safe and healthy holiday & prosperous 2021.

There was one upside this week: I sponsored Madhu Sharma, the Hindu chaplain @DukeU , to give the first ever Hindu prayer in the legislature. Her prayer of peace and unity couldn’t have been more appropriate. #ncpol #ncga

I never got the chance to post our photo with @DollyParton , an American heroine, from last year's event to help w children's literacy. Given the news about how she helped fund Moderna's vaccine, now's a good time to honor her for yet another accomplishment to an incredible life.

I have signed legislation that repeals Virginia’s voter ID law, makes Election Day a state holiday, and expands access to early voting. Voting is a fundamental right––these laws strengthen our democracy by making it easier to cast a ballot, not harder.
