It was a pleasure to join Wake County Farm Bureau President John Burt for a conversation about the issues affecting local farmers. Agriculture is one of NC's biggest industries, and Congress needs to take steps to support our farmers, who feed our communities and are the backbone of our economy.
While our communities are facing higher grocery, healthcare, and housing costs because this administration’s policies, Trump is now asking for a $1.5 trillion defense budget. It’s completely out of touch and shows just how little regard this administration has for working families.
I hosted a roundtable with El Centro Hispano to discuss how Congress can protect our communities and ensure accountability in federal enforcement. While ICE targets Black, Brown and immigrant communities, we must cut funding from this agency and restore dignity to our immigration process.
I voted against today’s funding package, which includes billions for ICE through the DHS. Though a partial shutdown would put thousands of federal workers and some programs and benefits at risk, I will not support increasing funding for ICE as it continues to terrorize our communities.
On this day in 1870, the 15th Amendment was ratified, guaranteeing the right to vote for every single American. While the Voting Rights Act is under attack through our court system, today is an important reminder that we must always fight to protect access to the ballot box.
Today, I joined my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues for a rally outside ICE headquarters to make it clear: the GOP's DHS package does nothing to help our communities, and does everything to help ICE. Congress needs to remove Kristi Noem and defund ICE, not bolster this undemocratic agency.
Today marks 66 years since four @ncatsuaggies.bsky.social students staged a sit in at Woolworth's in Greensboro, North Carolina. Their actions helped ignite a movement nationwide, and we will never forget their courage which forever changed our country.
During Black History Month, we honor and recognize the extraordinary achievements of Black Americans across our nation’s history. We have made great progress, but we must continue to use our voices to fight against the injustice and bigotry that continues to plague our society today.
Thank you to everyone who joined and shared their personal stories at my Seniors Listening Session in Durham. Trump's cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and more are hurting seniors across the nation—restoring this funding has to be a priority for Congress.
Thank you to everyone who joined my Town Hall in Morrisville! I appreciate all who came out to make their voices heard. While Trump prioritizes wars and ICE raids over helping working families, I'll keep fighting to make sure your voice is heard in the halls of Congress.
One year into Trump's presidency and costs are up for hardworking Americans while Republicans focus on taking over Greenland.   Congress cannot allow this affordability crisis to continue—we need to pass legislation that lowers childcare, grocery, housing, and healthcare costs NOW.
I am proud to have received an “A” on @endcitizensunited.bsky.social's 2026 Anti-Corruption legislative scorecard. I will never stop fighting to put the hardworking people of #NC04 first, and I will keep fighting for accountability, transparency, and reforms in Washington.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the lives of the 6 million Jewish people murdered during the Holocaust. Today, and every day, we must continue to fight antisemitism and bigotry of all forms to ensure the horrors of the Holocaust are never repeated.
ICE is out of control and Congress' inaction is allowing this agency to kill people. Impeaching Kristi Noem is the bare minimum—we have to stop giving this rogue agency funding, pursue charges against these officers who violate human rights and unmask these agents so we can hold them accountable.
