Hispanic Heritage Month
This month, I join people across the country in celebrating #HispanicHeritageMonth! This is an important time to honor the rich history and important contributions of Latino communities in Wake County and nationwide.
Reproductive Rights
This proposal hurts women and is extreme and out of touch with the American people. We cannot give Republicans the power to limit reproductive rights like this. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/13/grahams-abortion-ban-senate-gop-00056423

321 Coffee

Labor Day
This Labor Day, we take a moment to honor all of America’s workers. We must continue fighting for fair working conditions, higher wages, and better benefits for all.
The Inflation Reduction Act
ICYMI: The Inflation Reduction Act included my provision to overturn the offshore wind leasing moratorium off the NC coast. This will help unleash the power of American clean energy and create thousands of jobs in our state.
Reproductive Freedom
With abortion legal until 20 weeks in our state, North Carolina continues to be a safe haven for women in the South. We must fight back against these attacks on our reproductive freedom and vote in November.
