TSG NC's Elizabeth Whitehurst was proud to join ABC Carolinas in Washington, D.C. last week to advocate for policies that support the construction industry, strengthen workforce development and promote fair and open competition . Throughout the trip, ABC Carolinas members met with congressional leaders on Capitol Hill and participated in policy discussions focused on the issues shaping the future of the construction industry. Opportunities like these ensure industry leaders can share their on-the-ground perspectives with policymakers and help advance solutions that allow contractors to build safely, competitively, and efficiently. #TSGNC #TeamTSG #ABCCarolinas #GovernmentRelations #ConstructionIndustry #TeamTSG

An incredible season, an unforgettable run, and a championship our state will never forget. Congratulations to the Canes on bringing home the Stanley Cup from our team at TSG NC!

TSG NC was proud to have played a key role as a legislator in bringing legal sports betting to North Carolina and now, speaking on behalf of the Sports Betting Alliance, thrilled by the latest numbers from the NC State Lottery Commission. Since legalization, the industry has generated $262 million in tax revenue for our state, blowing past all forecasts, with $116.6 million collected in fiscal year 2025 alone (nearly double projections). From NFL Sundays and college football rivalries to March Madness excitement, regulated betting is delivering real economic wins while giving North Carolinians safe, transparent options. This success shows what happens when we get policy right: strong revenue for public priorities, consumer protections, and a level playing field. Great work by everyone who helped make it happen!
