How major events are selected

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.

Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

Alma has always been a strong advocate for the middle class. A strong middle class means a stronger American economy. She supports giving more tax cuts to the middle class and raising the minimum wage – indexing it to the rate of inflation. By putting more money in the hands of hard-working Americans, companies can sell more products, appliances, cars, and other items that will continue to spur our economic growth.

Source topic or question: Trade and domestic production

Candidate campaign source

While trade typically makes us wealthier, unfettered trade can create dangerous dependence on other countries and jeopardize national security. Therefore, America should prioritize a baseline of self-sufficiency, trade surplus goods, and exercise caution when dealing with essential goods and services To achieve this, we need to bring back domestic production to ensure our freedom and prosperity. I believe that returning to sound money and embracing a free-market capitalist economy will address these issues.

I am fighting for an economy that works for everyone. As a state legislator during the Great Recession, I advocated for an earned income tax credit aimed at returning tax dollars to working families, supported raising the minimum wage, and sponsored paid sick leave legislation. I also supported tax breaks for small businesses and passed legislation to spur economic development here in Raleigh. I have always been a champion for working people, and I am proud to have the support of workers and unions.

How statements are selected

This section matches specific GDP, economic growth and production terms in retained, attributed source text from published North Carolina candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.

Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

North Carolina incumbents

What incumbents are proposing

Explore reviewed bills sponsored by current North Carolina legislators and North Carolina’s congressional delegation, plus retained proposals from North Carolina’s governor and agencies. Each record keeps its latest recorded status and official evidence.

0 matching sponsorships or proposals · 0 North Carolina incumbents. These filters apply only to this section.

No retained proposals match these filters. A missing record does not mean an incumbent has taken no action.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current North Carolina officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.

Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a North Carolina statistic. Collection reviewed Oct 6, 2026.
