Team Ross showed up last night at the Congressional Softball Game. Although #TeamCongress lost to the #BadNewsBabes, we still raised over $500K for the Young Survival Coalition.
Every American is entitled to equal justice under law. To live up to that foundational promise, we must ensure that judges conduct themselves ethically and impartially. That is why I introduced bipartisan legislation to strengthen the judiciary’s integrity and restore trust in our nation’s courts.
Looking forward to the Congressional Softball Game tonight! I’m playing to honor my friend NC Senator Sydney Batch who has had breast cancer. The game has raised over $500k this year for the Young Survival Coalition to help women like Sydney.
Senate Republicans are obstructing our efforts to protect and expand voting rights. If there is one place where the filibuster is completely inappropriate, it’s this. We must act with urgency to protect the fundamental cornerstone of our democracy.
The abuse and harassment that NWSL players have been subjected to across the league is appalling. As the aunt of a high school soccer player, who hopes to play in college, I find the systemic refusal to protect women from abuse deeply concerning. That’s why I wrote a letter urging the NWSL and U.S. Soccer Federation to conduct a thorough investigation into harassment and abuse claims toward NC Courage coach Paul Riley.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Officer Hayworth, his fellow officers, and the entire community. Officer Hayworth put his life on the line to protect our community and we are forever grateful for his service. To honor his legacy, my office is flying a flag over the Capitol.
Americans across the country—including in North Carolina—continue to have their voting rights stripped by state legislatures. The right to vote is a cornerstone of American democracy and I’m extremely disappointed Senate Republicans filibustered the Freedom to Vote Act. The fight is not over. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee, I will continue to push for vital voting rights legislation.
Yesterday, the Wake County Board of Comissioners voted unanimously to expand protections for the LGBTQ community through a new non-discrimination ordinance. I support our local leaders and their belief that no one should be discriminated against because of who they are.
Congressman Price is a tireless leader for North Carolinians. During his more than 30 years in Congress, he has championed vital legislation for the state and the Research Triangle. As a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, serving as the Chairman of the THUD Subcommittee, he has championed transit and affordable housing. His commitment and service to North Carolina will be an inspiration for generations to come. I’m honored to call him a friend and mentor and wish him and Lisa the best in his retirement.
Congratulations to Magellan Charter School, which was ranked the No.3 K-8 school in the nation, along with four other schools in the Triangle that made the list. I applaud all of our educators who have shown incredible commitment to learning during the pandemic.
