SYDNEY'S JOB

Economic Opportunity

We believe that every North Carolinian deserves the chance to build a good life. That’s why we support policies that grow small businesses, expand workforce development, invest in rural and urban communities alike, and ensure working families can earn a living wage. Senate Democrats are focused on building an economy that works for everyone, not just the well-connected few.

Affordable Health Care

We are fighting to make quality health care more affordable and accessible for every North Carolina family. We support expanding Medicaid, strengthening rural hospitals, improving access to mental healthcare, and protecting access to reproductive care, because no North Carolinian should go bankrupt just to see a doctor.

Safe & Secure Neighborhoods

Every family deserves to feel safe in their home and in their community. That means investing in first responders, tackling gun violence with common-sense solutions, supporting mental health services, and addressing the root causes of crime. Senate Democrats are always ready to act on smart policies that actually work and keep our families safe.

Protecting Constitutional Rights

Senate Democrats are standing up for the rights and freedoms guaranteed to every North Carolinian, from the right to vote to the right to make personal decisions without government interference. And we’re fighting back against extremist efforts to roll back reproductive rights, suppress voters, and undermine our democratic institutions. Our commitment is simple: freedom, fairness, and justice for all.

Strong Public Schools

Senate Democrats are committed to ensuring every child in North Carolina has access to a world-class public education, regardless of where they live or how much money their family makes. We’re fighting to raise teacher pay, fully fund our public schools, and keep politics out of the classroom, because strong public schools are the foundation of opportunity and prosperity for every family in our state.

1

Building a stronger Democratic caucus that can hold the line on key votes.

2

Supporting candidates in targeted districts to help break the supermajority.

3

Returning the Senate to a place where debate, oversight, and accountability still matter.

Republicans currently hold a supermajority in the General Assembly, allowing them to override the Governor’s veto and push through partisan legislation unchecked. Sydney’s top priority as Democratic Leader is to restore balance in state government.

That means:

Senate Democrats Are Fighting for North Carolina Families
