Letter from Jones Street
2025 in review: Infighting, gaslighting, rate-hiking: To put it mildly, 2025 was a bumpy year at the N.C. General Assembly. A months-long battle over emission-cutting promises and energy bills, ongoing internal party and leadership fights, and an unapologetic electoral power grab dominated lawmakers' work and left important governance needs unaddressed. Your N.C. Sierra Club was a regular presence at the Legislative Building, and we're getting ready now for the 2026 "short session." Read our recap and stay tuned for ways you can help!
For weekly summaries from the 2025 session, look for the "Letter from Jones Street" headlines on our News page. We'll email and post 2026 updates when the "short session" begins this spring, or earlier if the legislature's monthly skeleton sessions results in any meaningful actions.
