It still feels surreal! I was just sworn in as Mayor of Fletcher!
Western NC legislators should demand immediate state funding for Helene recovery - including small business and local gov grants - instead of billions of dollars for private school vouchers for the wealthy that hurt rural public schools and fund mostly urban counties. - RC
From one mayor to another, thank you @PeteButtigieg for visiting Canton and WNC today and continuing to draw attention to the necessary needs of our citizens. We face tough times in the mountains, but our people are tougher. 🇺🇸
We're committed to supporting small towns like Canton, NC as they recover from Hurricane Helene. The damage here is devastating for families and small businesses, and we will continue our support as long as it takes for them to get back to normal.
Today is the first day of early voting in NC. Thank you to the North Carolina Board of Elections for your hard work helping ensure people can exercise their right to vote, especially in WNC following Helene. Find your county’s early voting locations at vt.ncsbe.gov
As the world's best publicist (@SonyaBonczek) reminded me, today is the publication date for Anatomy of a Purple State. I appreciate the kind words (& photos!) from folks who have gotten a copy, & big thanks to the people who have featured or reviewed the book thus far. #ncpol
Happy official publication day to @chriscooperwcu's Anatomy of a Purple State! 💜
From the Mayor of Canton, I simply say thank you Mr. President 🇺🇸
I’ve directed one thousand military personnel from Fort Liberty to help the North Carolina National Guard provide critical supplies to isolated communities. We’ve deployed 67 Starlink satellites so that folks in places like Canton can call for help and reach their loved ones.…

Was very proud to stand with those rural educators in Raleigh yesterday.
Announcing his veto of House Bill 10, Cooper invited rural educators and elected officials who shared their concerns over the rural impact of private school voucher expansion. #nced ednc.org/09-20-2024-coo…
It was such an honor to speak on the same stage as our next Vice President Tim Walz yesterday! Buncombe County is fired up and ready to elect leaders who support reproductive freedom and public education up-and-down the ballot. #ncpol

Growing up, my dad worked in a factory. My dad also worked to start a janitorial business that has provided for my family and hundreds of other across WNC. I work this business today. It’s hard, blue-collar work that we’re grateful for. Happy Father’s Day to the best dad.

On March 6, 2023 there was no doubt that the sudden news of Evergreen closing brought us to our knees. However, on March 7, 2023 we began the slow and painful process of getting back up; a process that continues today.
