Educating our young people as citizens
is vital to our country's democracy!
Our democracy works best when citizens
are actively involved in the political process. As legislators, we know
first hand that the legislative process is complicated and can seem
confusing. Here is a link to my web page that gives an
overview of how the process works
in the General Assembly.
Information on the General Assembly Website
If you wish to learn more about the actions of the legislature, you may
visit the official website
of the General Assembly (http://www.ncleg.net).
There you will find information on the House, the Senate, Committees,
Legislation and Bills, and other related topics. There is a helpful
Citizen
Guide and suggestions for
Homework Assistance.
When the legislature is in session, you might be interested in listening to
Audio Broadcasts
provided for both the House and the Senate. You can listen to each day's
session, committee meetings and press conferences on the General
Assembly's website.
The official website also provides information about those who are
currently serving as Representatives and Senators. You may go to
my House Member web page, which is provided by the
General Assembly, to learn about the bills I introduce, my voting
record, and my committee service.
I hope that the sampling of websites that are listed below will assist students in
learning more about their government. This is not intended to be a comprehensive list, but rather
to serve as a beginning place for further online study by students,
parents, and teachers.
