In her first term as State Senator, Amy Galey voted for a balanced budget that raised teacher pay by 5%, cut taxes for North Carolina families, and allocated billions in important infrastructure spending. She also voted to guarantee the lowest rates on electricity for North Carolinians. Now, as we are facing new challenges that call for creative solutions, Amy is the proven leader we can trust. She’ll work to combat rising inflation and provide critical relief for families, balance the budget, and put our state on the path for continued economic growth.

Every child deserves a quality education, with a range of school choices to meet his or her academic needs, abilities, goals, and interests. Before becoming State Senator, Amy consistently advocated for reasonable increases in the budget for the Alamance Burlington School System while insisting on accountability. As State Senator, she voted for $1.5 billion additional funding for K-12 education, a 5% pay raise for teachers, and expanded the NC Promise program, which guarantees $500 in-state tuition per semester as participating schools. In the State Senate, Amy will continue to make attracting and retaining the best public school teachers one of her top priorities.
