A Message from Dan
Growing up in a four-room farmhouse in Robeson County, I quickly learned that the values of hard work, faith, and education were the keys to a successful future – lessons learned from my parents, teachers and my community. I’ve never lost sight of those values, and that’s why I fight every day to help provide North Carolinians with the same opportunities to succeed.

What We’ve Achieved
How Dan’s Working for You:
✓ Medicaid Expansion
In March, 2023, North Carolina became the 40th state to approve Medicaid Expansion. The path to expansion is the result of years of negotiations with Republican lawmakers. Once enacted, this will provide affordable healthcare for over 500,000 working North Carolinians, and create more than 80,000 jobs across our state.
✓ Clean Energy Initiative
Under Governor Roy Cooper’s leadership, the General Assembly passed one of the strongest clean energy plans in the country. The plan provides a path for a 70 percent reduction in carbon emissions for 2030, and carbon neutrality by 2050. This was a bipartisan effort to put North Carolina on the path to a cleaner future.
✓ Re-Open Schools Safely
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, state and local officials struggled with creating a plan to get students back in the classroom, while maintaining safety protocols. Senator Blue’s bill to reopen schools safely passed with bipartisan support, getting students and families back into the classroom.
The Latest from Facebook
Edna and I celebrated the legacy, pride, and philanthropy of Shaw University and all of our HBCUs at this weekend’s Triumph Gala. We continue to honor and support the transformative impact of these institutions on the next generation of leaders.
Yesterday, I filed for re-election to continue serving NC Senate District 14 in Wake County. ![]()

The stakes in the 2026 election are higher than ever for North Carolinians. The Republican super-majority has abandoned its duty to serve the people. Instead of tackling the real issues like passing a state budget, funding public schools, or protecting access to affordable healthcare, Senate Republicans only show up to rig congressional maps and silence voters for their own benefit. ![]()

Republicans aren’t working for the people of our state. It’s going to take every vote and every seat in the state Senate to get back to the people’s business. It’s been an honor serving Wake County in the General Assembly, and I humbly ask for your support in the upcoming election.
