Tune in today at 5:15 p.m. to watch President Biden give remarks from Raleigh.
Fort Bragg Bill
Great news — the House and Senate passed my bipartisan Fort Bragg bill. Consolidating Fort Bragg into one judicial district is commonsense for North Carolinians. This legislation will ease the burden of traveling miles to Durham, Greensboro, or Winston-Salem to resolve court matters and instead have the opportunity to be resolved nearby. This will benefit […]
Election Reform
H.R.1 is a transformative package to make elections fairer and voting more convenient and accessible. Election reform isn’t about political parties, it’s about voters and ensuring their voices are heard. That’s why I voted for HR1. It’s time for the Senate to do the same #ForThePeople.
Child Tax Credit
Families, mark July 15 on your calendar. You will receive monthly payments (via direct deposit or mail) up to $250/child between the ages of 6-17 or up to $300/child under the age of 6. Find out more at childtaxcredit.gov. Thanks to the expanded & improved #ChildTaxCredit,13,700 children in NC-02 will be lifted out of poverty.
Happy Father’s Day!
Wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all fathers, uncles, grandfathers and father figures. I’m especially thankful for my dad. He always treated me with honesty and respect. Key life lessons.
Today we honor and observe Juneteenth, the oldest continuous celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.
Juneteenth is a day of reflection and rejoicing. In the North Carolina State Legislature, I celebrated Juneteenth with my friend, Rep. Larry Womble, who passed away last year. Larry spent his life advocating for racial justice and education equality in North Carolina, and our community misses him dearly. I hope to carry on Larry’s legacy […]
Juneteenth Now a Federal Holiday
Tomorrow is #Juneteenth – a day to remember those who paid the ultimate price fighting for their freedom. Today we continue to fight for every person’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That’s why I voted for legislation establishing Juneteenth as a Federal holiday. Glad President Joe Biden signed it into law yesterday.
ACA
Since 2010, the ACA has provided over 20 million Americans with access to health care. I’m grateful that the Supreme Court took action today to uphold this law, and I look forward to building on this decision by further strengthening our health care system.
Claire Curzan of Cary
Congratulations to Claire Curzan of Cary who at the age of 16 has qualified for the U.S. Olympic team. I look forward to cheering her on this summer as she travels to Japan and competes as one of the youngest U.S. Olympians.
DACA Policy
Nine years ago today, the Obama-Biden Administration created the DACA policy. We must commit to comprehensive immigration reform for millions of young people, TPS holders, and essential workers.
