Legislative

Burr was elected to his first term in 2008, and was re-elected in 2010 and 2012. In the 2008 Republican primary runoff, Burr, then 22 years old, beat opponent Ken Furr, with 58 percent of the vote. At the age of 23 years, Burr became the youngest member of the North Carolina General Assembly. During his first term, Burr served as the House Republican Freshman Leader.

Burr won his second election with 75% of the vote. Burr was appointed to serve as a chair of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Health & Human Services. He also was appointed to serve as the Vice-Chair of the Election Committee, Health & Human Services Committee, the Health & Human Services Subcommittee on Mental Health, Judiciary Committee and the Redistricting Committee.

Currently in his fifth term, Burr serves as vice-chair of the House Appropriations Committee, chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Capital, chair of the Health Committee, and chair of the Judiciary IV Committee. He also serves on the Appropriations Subcommittee on Health & Human Services, Elections and Ethics Law Committee, State & Local Government I Committee, and the Rules, Calendar, and Operations of the House Committee.

Burr has been criticized for interfering with local government in Stanly County by passing a bill to make the Stanly County School Board elections partisan, adding an amendment to the 2015-2016 budget forbidding Stanly Community College from opening a culinary school in downtown Albemarle, and interfering with the town of Norwood's plans to construct a new fire department. Although Burr lost his home county of Stanly, he defeated Republican Lane O. Burris in the 2016 Republican primary by a thin margin of 242 votes, and will go on to face Democrat Carson Roger Snyder on November 8. On March 24, Burris endorsed Snyder.

Political positions

Abortion

Burr has been described as a champion for the pro-life movement. He is against women having abortions, and believes they should be illegal. In 2015, he co-sponsored, voted for, and helped successfully pass legislation in North Carolina that imposes additional requirements before having an abortion. The new requirements were fully implemented by January 2016, and include:

  • 72-hour waiting period after first appointment before a woman can have an abortion
  • A physician must report any abortion or miscarriage after the 16th week of pregnancy to the Department of Health and Human Services, along with the gestational age of the fetus, the measurements of the fetus, and a copy of an ultrasound image.
  • A physician must report any abortion or miscarriage after the 20th week of pregnancy, and the report must include documentation demonstrating that the procedure was a medical emergency
  • Physician must be certified in obstetrics or gynecology and possess "sufficient training" in abortion care
  • Amended the definition of "statutory rape" to include intercourse or a sexual act with an individual who is 15 years old or younger
  • Authorized child support payments to be made by electronic transmission
  • Established a "Maternal Mortality Committee" to review maternal deaths and develop recommendations for the prevention of future maternal deaths.

Child Fatality Task Force

Burr has voted to get rid of the Child Fatality Task force, stating he believes that local task forces would be able to continue investigating child deaths.

Environment

In 2014, Burr was given a 0% rating by Environment North Carolina. Burr has voted to repeal a recycling program and to repeal motor vehicle emissions inspections.

Guns

Burr would like to expand the "right to carry" law in North Carolina. Burr has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association.

LGBT rights

Burr has voted to ban gay marriage in North Carolina. He has voted to allow officials to refuse marriage based on religious objections. He has voted yes on legislation requiring people to use a bathroom that corresponds with their born biological gender.

Penalty on protesters

In 2017, Burr voted to increase punishments for protesters who block roads or damage property. The bill included a requirement for local law enforcement to be given "directions to clear the roads" immediately whenever a gathering of greater than 10 people block traffic, as opposed to waiting for protesters to disperse peacefully before using force. This bill was in response to nationwide protests. The bill has been criticized for "allowing drivers to legally run over protesters who block roads."

Unions

Burr has supported anti-union legislation that would add the state's current "right to work" law to the constitution. Burr has stated, "We do not want, I do not want to see employees, potential employees, have to give up a job because they're forced to contribute or join." At the time, forced unionization was already illegal in North Carolina. The legislation did not further protect against unionization, but made it more difficult to repeal the "right to work" law in the future.
