"History should help guide our steps on those issues, and we should focus on solutions to common challenges — crime, poverty, socialism, wasteful bureaucracy, and radical ideologies that prevent everyday North Carolinians from achieving the American dream.
None of these policy questions will be resolved by a long message from me. Only time and good-faith engagement through the legislative process can do that. But my goal in sharing these thoughts, directly and in writing, is that we can approach the next few weeks with a clear understanding of the challenges, opportunities, and choices before us, even if we haven’t yet found a pathway to successfully resolve the decisions to be made.
My hope is to continue our solution-oriented approach to policy that has made North Carolina’s General Assembly the most successful and effective conservative legislative body in the country."

But there actually is a long message from Berger...cont.
From the day voters gave Republicans control of the General Assembly after over a century of Democratic rule, we’ve made progress on numerous fronts — tax cuts, regulatory reform, restrained spending, K-12 education reforms, parental school choice expansion, transformational university stewardship, and more. Our state is the national leader in smart, conservative governance. All Republican legislators elected in 2010 and since share credit for that success.
Let’s not lose sight of the progress on major issues made during the 2025 long session. Working together, the House and Senate enacted reforms to make our communities safer, take important strides toward energy availability and affordability, protect women’s sports, define the two sexes in state law, and impose accountability for those who commit serious crimes.
