With last night's primary victory, I am officially on the ballot in November! My team and I enjoyed seeing so many people out on the campaign trail these last couple months. In the district and on Jones Street, we're working on the issues that matter to YOU.

It's an honor to be your voice in the legislature.

Support our campaign today! secure.anedot.com/mike-schietzel…

Definitely was not a problem in northern Wake County.

Went out to vote early today in a politically diverse area of southern Wake County. Democratic volunteers were everywhere, but the Republicans didn’t even have a person handing out literature, let alone the usual GOP tent. First time I’ve ever seen that in 22 years. #ncpol

Proponents of the WakeMed/Atrium merger are missing this point. A major goal of the merger is to raise reimbursement rates. *Someone* will pay for that.

If it isn't the patient, then it's you—in the form of higher taxes (for Medicaid and State Health Plan) AND higher premiums.

Everyone loves a lower copay, but that’s only a tiny part of the bill. Atrium’s high rates are billed to NC taxpayers and pull budget $ from public education, public safety, etc. Higher bills to the state lead to higher premiums, reduced benefits for state employees. #ncga #ncpol

Some of my co-panelists pushed back on this assertion that the agencies themselves chose the broadest type of agreement. But as you can see from both news reports and ICE's description of the options, it's true.

As NC law enforcement signs on to cooperate with ICE on some immigration actions, critics point to ICE's headline grabbing actions in places like Minnesota. I asked Rep. @mikefor35 about it & he explains how NC law enforcement has flexibility in this clip from State Lines. #ncpol
