If women aren’t at the table, the issues that affect women disproportionately don’t get addressed. That is why I’m proud to work with great women leaders in our community every day to deliver equity and justice. https://www.axios.com/local/raleigh/2023/03/08/women-triangle-elected-officials-majority
Saddened to hear of the passing of my friend Betsy Buford. She was a trailblazer for women, a champion of the arts, and the heart and soul of the Oakwood neighborhood. My thoughts are with her family, friends, and loved ones. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/newsobserver/name/elizabeth-buford-obituary
Wake Tech is preparing a next-generation workforce to help us meet our clean energy goals. That’s why I fought for nearly $1 million in funding for their new EV training program. https://www.wral.com/wake-tech-receives-federal-funds-to-train-electric-vehicle-students/20730496/
Condemning hate against AAPI communities, antisemitism, and violent extremism should not be partisan. Words and rhetoric matter. Our constituents listen to these debates and expect us to stand up for them in the face of hate and discrimination. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article272628221.html
Very glad to see WakeMed Health and Hospitals moving forward with these two hospitals. I fought for $6 million in federal funding for the new mental health hospital to ensure Wake County residents get the mental health care they need. https://www.wral.com/wakemed-gets-approval-for-two-new-hospitals-one-with-focus-on-behavioral-and-mental-health/20732000/
Finally, the NC House has passed Medicaid expansion. Our people have been waiting more than a decade to get the health care they deserve. It’s long past time to get this over the finish line. https://myfox8.com/news/north-carolina/north-carolina-house-moves-closer-to-adoption-of-latest-medicaid-expansion/
Congratulations to our new state party leaders! There is so much on the line in 2024, and I am ready to get to work with you to ensure that we elect leaders who will fight for fairness, equality, and progress.
This is great news! Cary is already home to the Carolina Courage and the perfect place for U.S. Soccer to train their athletes. https://www.newsobserver.com/article272262663.html

Robocalls aren’t just an annoying, everyday nuisance — they pose a serious threat to consumers, especially our older loved ones and neighbors. That’s why I’m not waiting to act on this. Last week, I introduced the bipartisan DO NOT Call Act, which will create stricter penalties for those harassing consumers.
