The people of NC HD-112 don’t deserve this. They voted for a Democrat.
Representative Cotham cannot justify this to the residents and voters of her district. They did not vote for the GOP’s election denying, transphobic agenda.
It’s a sad day for our state.

Breaking: NC Democratic lawmaker Rep. Tricia Cotham is expected to switch her party affiliation to Republican, handing NC Republicans a legislative supermajority and the votes to override D Gov. Roy Cooper mid-legislative session.

I don't have the luxury of separating what I am from me as a person, Corey.
The nuance here is that a straight man is trying to lecture a community that continues to be subjected to this rhetoric by the very leaders that my fellow citizens elected.
Fact check:
@markrobinsonNC
described “homosexuality and transgenderism” as filth. He didn't apply the word to

I had $23,500 in total loans taken out to support my education, because it was the only thing I could do. My parents never made enough to pay my way. I worked all four years of school. I thought I would be trapped under this ballooning debt for decades.
In keeping with my campaign promise, my Administration is announcing a plan to give working and middle class families breathing room as they prepare to resume federal student loan payments in January 2023.
I'll have more details this afternoon.
