“It’s impossible for our institutions to function the way they need to function with how partisan America is today. We’re not as different as we think we are, and Americans need to be willing to listen to the other side.”
“One of the best ways to build pathways to prosperity is by investing in registered apprenticeship programs. I know this will help us create the kind of highly-skilled workforce we all envision.”
“In today’s increasingly digital world, having access to high-speed broadband is no longer a luxury, it is necessary in order to fully participate in daily life.”
“Public education and early childhood education serve as the foundation for North Carolina’s success.”
“Developing our workforce is more important than ever. Workforce Scholarships for the Future provide our people with the opportunity to learn the skills needed to take on these available, high-paying jobs and show current employers that South Carolina's workforce is ready to adapt to their needs.”
“I always want to ensure that our state government is leading by example when it comes to pressing issues like the housing crisis, workforce and job creation.”

#DisagreeBetter
Americans need to disagree better. And by that we don’t mean that we need to be nicer to each other, although that’s helpful. We need to learn to disagree in a way that allows us to find solutions and solve problems instead of endlessly bickering.
The Disagree Better initiative will look at the problems of polarization, elevate the solutions that groups around the country are already implementing, and feature Governors showing what disagreeing better looks like.Through healthy conflict, we’re confident that we can find common ground and improve our families, our communities and our nation. Together, we can disagree better.
