"We're not done. I'm not done," North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper declared during his farewell address, emphasizing his commitment to the progress made during his eight years in office. Cooper highlighted significant advancements in Medicaid expansion, job creation, and improvements in education that have shaped the state during his administration.
Throughout his tenure, Cooper has championed the expansion of Medicaid, which has provided healthcare coverage to thousands of North Carolinians. He noted that this initiative not only improved health outcomes but also bolstered the economy by creating jobs in the healthcare sector.
In addition to healthcare, Cooper pointed to the strides made in the job market, with numerous initiatives aimed at attracting new businesses and supporting local entrepreneurs. He expressed pride in the educational reforms that have aimed to enhance the quality of schools across the state, ensuring that all children have access to a better future.
As he prepares to step down, Cooper’s reflections underscore a sense of unfinished business, with a clear call for continued efforts in these critical areas. His administration's legacy, he hopes, will inspire future leaders to build upon the foundation laid in the past eight years.
