  • Ted Davis Jr., a Descendent of One of New Hanover's Wealthiest Families
    Rep. Ted Davis, Jr. (R-New Hanover) House District 19 “All I know is that we’re doing something” –Rep. Ted Davis, in response to the Senate’s unwillingness to take up his GenX bill. (WRAL, 1/10/18) Ted Davis Jr., a descendent of one of New Hanover’s wealthiest families, followed an uneventful legal career with an unremarkable tenure as county commissioner. Davis switched affiliation to Republican for political expedi ence in order to run for public office. He was elected to the legislature in 2012 and has largely been a cog in the Raleigh political machine. As such, he failed to deliver anything of note for the Wilmington area, like the return of meaningful film incentives. Davis’ s time in the state House is probably most exemplified by his tenure as Chair of the House Select Committee on River Quality set up to “res pond” to the GenX crisis. In a role meant to give Davis a chance to shine , he has so far doled out taxpayer money to political cronies of Republican leadership and allowed a trade association lobbyist for Chemours , the company responsible for dumping GenX in our drinking water, to write three budget provisions that let the polluter off the hook. Rep. Ted Davis, Jr. Meanwhile Cape Fear Public Utility Authority customers are seeing their bills go up to pay for GenX cleanup and taxpayers are stuck with the bill for more “study” of the problem. Davis ’s inept handling of GenX is just the latest example of his failure to provide meaningful service to the people of his district as he plays follow- the- leader in Raleigh.

    NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY PRESIDE NT PRO TEMPORE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE PH IL BERGER TI M MOORE RALE IGH 27601 August 30, 2018 Hon. Chuck Grassley Hon. Richard Burr Chairman, Senate Committee on the Judiciary U.S. Senator 135 Hart Senate Office Building 217 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Hon. Thom Tillis U.S. Senator 185 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Re: Support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court Dear Sens. Grassley, Burr & Tillis, We write to express our strong support for Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court. As legislators, we have accepted the responsibility to faithfully represent the interests of our constituents in creating the laws that govern our state. We firmly believe that the judiciary’s role is to interpret those laws, not to use the power of the bench to circumvent the legislature and enact preferred policies. Judge Kavanaugh’s decisions throughout his distinguished judicial career make it clear that he will enforce the text, structure, and original understanding of the U.S. Constitution. He is a brilliant legal mind with impeccable credentials. On the merits, Judge Kavanaugh is a leading jurist on one of America’s top courts whose opinions are regularly cited throughout the country, and his confirmation should receive unanimous support. We appreciate your work to advance the confirmation of an immensely qualified nominee through the political minefield. We stand ready to assist in any way we can to help ensure Judge Brett Kavanaugh becomes the next U.S.

  • North Carolina Legislative Report Card 2017–2018 Session
    LIBERTY WATCH North Carolina Legislative Report Card 2017–2018 Session About Liberty Watch The ACLU of North Carolina’s legislative report card, Liberty Watch, shows how state lawmakers voted on key legislation affecting civil rights and civil liberties during the 2017-2018 legislative session. This report documents the final recorded votes on six pieces of legislation that concerned, respectively, LGBTQ equality, voting rights, privacy rights, juvenile justice reform, and immigrants’ rights. The ACLU of North Carolina took a position on every piece of legislation covered by this scorecard, including those receiving votes in the full House and the full Senate. About the ACLU of North Carolina Since 1965, the ACLU of North Carolina has been our state’s guardian of liberty – working in courts, the General Assembly, and communities to protect and advance civil rights and civil liberties for all North Carolinians. A nonprofit, nonpartisan organization with more than 30,000 members across the state, the ACLU of North Carolina is a state affiliate of the national American Civil Liberties Union. Visit acluofnorthcarolina.org to learn more. 2 LGBTQ EQUALITY House Bill 142: “H.B. 2 Replacement” ACLU position: Opposed Status: Became law, signed by the governor Widespread public backlash, economic boycotts, and a legal challenge from the ACLU and Lambda Legal forced legislators to rewrite House Bill 2, the notorious 2016 law that targeted transgender people for discrimination and prevented state and local governments from extending nondiscrimination protections to LGBTQ people. Unfortunately, the rewrite, H.B. 142, was nothing more than an effort to sidestep criticism, avoid political retaliation, and get back in the good graces of big business and sports organizations.

  • North Carolina Legislator Profile
    North Carolina Legislator Profile Holly Grange: (R-New Hanover) House District 20 Rep. Holly Grange is a rising star in the Republican Party and was quickly made Deputy Conference Leader by her Republican cohorts. Grange’s stardom is not surprising, she has been a reliable vote for leadership’s agenda since being appointed by McCrory. Grange is also a reliable vote for laws that benefit out of state corporations. She prioritized tax breaks for corporations over raising teacher pay to the national average. Meanwhile, classroom spending remains below pre- recession levels with teachers spending thousands out of pocket on necessary supplies not covered by state budgets. More than half of those same teachers are forced to work a second job to make ends meet as teacher pay remains nearly $10,000 below the national average. Grange’s votes aren’t just harmful in our classrooms. She voted to dismantle health care coverage for people with pre-existing conditions while North Carolinians face some of the most expensive health care in the nation. While dismantling health care and cutting funding for public schools, Grange gave Chemours lobbyists pet provisions in the 2018 budget even after chairing the committee tasked with handling the GenX crisis and protecting rivers from future problems. Instead of helping the people of New Hanover county clean up GenX, Grange sided with corporations while people’s water bills increased. Summary Grange let New Hanover residents pay more for water and failed to clean up GenX, instead giving Chemours lobbyists pet provisions in the 2018 budget. • GenX, a chemical compound discharged into the Cape Fear River with unknown health risks, showed high levels in Wilmington after a study by an NC State professor.
