Children & Families
Expand the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit to support working families and put money back in people’s pockets.
Energy & Utilities
Roy Cooper believes that data centers should pay the full cost of the energy they use, and prevent those costs from being passed on to locals. He also believes that local communities should be fully involved in any decision made about potential data centers in their neighborhoods.
Health Care
North Carolina saw the largest drop of any state in Affordable Care Act enrollment. Reinstate the ACA tax credits and reverse Medicaid cuts. This will help lower costs for everyone’s premiums, including people who get their health insurance through an employer.
International Affairs & Trade
The administration’s chaotic tariffs are wreaking havoc on farmers, who can barely get by because their costs are being driven up (CBS 17, March 2026). Roy would put an end to these tariffs, and make sure that farmers who keep our state moving can thrive.
Business & Economy
Roy Cooper has a four-point plan to lower grocery prices. First, he would put an end to the chaotic tariffs that have driven up costs for farmers, who have to pass it on to you, the customer.
Housing & Community Development
Yes. Roy Cooper supports banning corporate investors from buying single-family homes, ensuring that they can’t drive up prices for families.
Elections & Campaigns
But leaders are elected to serve the people they represent, not to trade a company’s stock on insider knowledge to get rich. It’s past time to ban individual stock trading for members of Congress and top Executive Branch officials.

The government holds the investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking of children: who paid, who flew, who knew, and which prosecutors decided back in 2008 that a plea deal was enough. Every release so far has landed late, partial, and with the redactions falling in suspiciously convenient places. The survivors have spent two decades being told to wait while the people they named kept their board seats and their reputations. There is exactly one legitimate reason to withhold any of this, and that is protecting victims who never chose to be in it; every other black box is someone being shielded who shouldn't be. Force the full release of the Epstein files with victim-identifying information redacted and nothing else, and open an independent review of how the 2008 deal was allowed to happen.
On September 15, Rep. Thomas Massie filed eight articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and the House can be forced to vote on them. The Constitution gives Congress, not the executive branch, the power to take the country to war, and it gives the House the power to remove officials who ignore that limit. Keeping American forces in combat in Iran without authorization from Congress is exactly the kind of abuse impeachment exists to answer. Impeachment is not a criminal trial. It is how Congress enforces the oath every official swears to the Constitution. Vote to impeach and remove him.
The National Archives holds the founding documents and the receipts, the records that let a citizen check what the government actually did. The Smithsonian and the national museums hold the version of the American story that outlasts whoever is in office. None of that survives being run by whoever currently holds power. We are watching boards replaced with loyalists, exhibits rewritten to flatter one man, collections put at risk, and a Pearl Harbor hero's name scraped off a ship to make room for an ego. A country that lets its record be edited by the people the record is about has no way to hold anyone accountable later. Write independence for the National Archives, the Smithsonian, and the national cultural institutions into statute, with fixed board terms, protection from political removal, and no rewriting or renaming without public process.
