Discriminatory Voter ID Law
Today, the North Carolina court struck down a discriminatory voter ID law that disproportionately targeted Black voters. This is a great step forward in ensuring everyone in North Carolina can access the ballot box.
We Pause to Remember
On the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, we pause to remember the nearly 3,000 Americans who lost their lives on that tragic day.

Women’s Reproductive Freedom
I applaud the United States Department of Justice and Attorney General Merrick Garland for acting swiftly against this pernicious threat to women’s reproductive freedom everywhere. The unprecedented vigilante system authorized under this law is a clear and provocative violation of the constitution.
Infrastructure Is an Investment

Wake County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the entire country yet our infrastructure has not grown with our community. We need a seamless transportation network to connect Wake County to the rest of the state and nation. The […]

Their tireless efforts have led to the 8-hour workday and safer working conditions — and many of the things we take for granted, like weekends, lunch breaks, minimum wage and child labor laws, and so much more.

We Must Defend Roe v. Wade
The Supreme Court’s decision to allow this unconstitutional abortion ban to go into effect is a threat to reproductive freedom and healthcare. This will have devastating consequences for women in Texas, and across the country. We must defend Roe v. Wade.
Mission in Afghanistan
I am deeply grateful to the U.S. service members who put their lives on the line to keep our country safe. While our mission in Afghanistan has ended, our commitment to ensuring stability in the region and defeating groups that threaten our country endures. I will continue to work with the Biden administration and my […]
