Representative Carla D. Cunningham was named a 2025 Jobs Champion in the NC Chamber’s 2025 How They Voted. The report scores bills aligned with the organization’s three pillars: Education and Talent Supply, a Competitive Business Climate, and Infrastructure and Growth.

Rep. Cunningham recently visited her alma mater, Winston-Salem State University, one of North Carolina’s valued Historically Black Colleges and Universities. When sports-betting legislation was introduced in North Carolina, Rep. Cunningham went to work ensuring HBCUs benefitted from the funds.

I hope that the federal officials will focus their efforts on criminals and communicate with local law enforcement to maintain the public safety of our citizens in
