Extreme Abortion Law
No politician should come between medical providers and their patients. I’m glad two parts of the NCGOP’s extreme abortion law have been struck down while the case continues. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article279965989.html
First Black Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court
Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as the first Black Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court today in 1967. His legacy lives on and the fight for justice continues.
Dianne Feinstein
Dianne Feinstein was a trailblazer. San Francisco’s first female mayor, the first woman from California elected to the Senate, and the longest-tenured female senator in American history. Thinking of her family, her staff, and the people of California.
Government Shutdowns
Americans shouldn’t be forced to pay the price for a catastrophic shutdown. House Republicans need to do their job and fund the government. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/care-us-stories-people-pay-government-shutdown/story
Health Care for 600,000 North Carolinians
After more than ten years of waiting, more than 600,000 North Carolinians will have access to the health care they need starting on December 1. Grateful for Governor Roy Cooper‘s leadership on this.
Battleground State
November 2024 seems far away, but the truth is that the groundwork we lay today will directly impact everything we do between now and then. That’s why I’m working hard to uplift Democrats across North Carolina.
COVID-19 Tests
Starting September 25th, every U.S. household can once again order four free tests delivered to their homes. https://www.covid.gov/tests

Clean funding bills are the best path forward to keep the federal government running and avoid a reckless shutdown. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2023/09/21/congress/removing-poison-pills-spending-bills-house-shutdown-00117048
This Is Unacceptable
We’ve been sent home with 8 days before a government shutdown. Kevin McCarthy needs to put the American people first and stop trying to appease far-right extremists to maintain power. https://apnews.com/article/government-shutdown-mccarthy-house-republicans-spending-cuts-deff84c0e2ff7d3bd076b8c38e14cca4
Clean Funding Bills
Clean funding bills are the best path forward to keep the federal government running. Still, the far-right extremists are refusing to move forward unless their efforts to ban mifepristone, block gun violence prevention efforts, and more are met. This Republican-led shutdown is entirely avoidable and unnecessary.
