The North Carolina legislature opened its 2025 session Wednesday afternoon, promising to make disaster recovery in the state’s western counties a top priority.

North Carolina House Republicans have carried out a succession plan to choose the chamber's rules committee chairman to succeed Rep. Tim Moore after 10 years as speaker. Republicans who recently won House elections met Tuesday and chose Rep. Destin Hall of Caldwell County to succeed Moore in the post when the next two-year session opens in January.
