Brady PAC
Proud to receive Brady PAC‘s endorsement. #TheTimeIsNow to end gun violence, and I’ll continue fighting in Congress to enact commonsense gun safety reforms. #BradyEndorsed
Equal Pay Day
It’s long past time that women receive equal pay for equal work. On #EqualPayDay, we recommit ourselves to the fight for equal pay for women in North Carolina and across the country. https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/charlotte/news/2022/03/12/equal-pay-day
WakeEd
WakeEd is starting a new partnership to help high school students explore exciting career opportunities. Wake County continues to be a place of growth and innovation, and we need a diverse workforce to continue that progress. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/education/article259222345.html
Emergency Restraining Orders
This is such important news for the safety of all North Carolinians. We were the only state that did not allow victims of domestic violence in unmarried same-sex relationships to get emergency restraining orders. The NC Supreme Court has fixed this lingering injustice. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article259308169.html
Aid for Ukraine
I’m glad the House came together across party lines last night to deliver urgently needed aid to Ukraine. We must support the brave Ukrainian people in their fight for freedom.
North Carolina HBCUs
Yesterday, I voted to condemn the bomb threats against North Carolina HBCUs and so many others across the country. These threats are appalling and dangerous. We must protect HBCUs in the face of this hateful violence.
NC League of Conservation Voters
I’m proud to receive a 100% score from the NC League of Conservation Voters on their annual legislative scorecard. We must use every tool at our disposal to combat the climate crisis, and I’m committed to working with my colleagues in Congress to do just that.
Sertoma Arts Center
Last week, I had the pleasure of taking a tour of the Sertoma Arts Center. Seeing the local art and hearing about their outreach to the community was uplifting. I encourage everyone to visit the center in Shelley Lake Park in North Raleigh.
Ways to Help Ukraine
If you are looking for ways to help during this crisis, there are organizations in our area working to support the brave people of Ukraine. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/article258964828.html
State of the Union
Last night President Joe Biden addressed the nation at a precarious moment. But even in the face of difficult challenges at home and abroad, the state of our union remains strong. I look forward to working in Congress to meet this moment and secure a brighter future for all Americans.
