Thank you to the over 18,000 constituents in the Fourth District who tuned into my telephone town hall! I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from you and answer your questions, and I'm honored to stand with you as we fight for change and defend our democracy.
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! This month we celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of our Hispanic and Latino communities. Let us always remember that diversity is our strength, and we should take pride in the cultures and stories that make up our nation.
This week, I joined the NC Delegation in meeting with Governor Stein to discuss the federal resources needed to support Western North Carolina as it continues to rebuild from Hurricane Helene. Recovery can’t wait—we must deliver federal aid to families and communities in need without delay.
For over a century, the Department of Labor's Women’s Bureau has safeguarded the welfare of women in the workforce. Yet, the Trump Admin has cut the agency to shreds. @demwomencaucus.bsky.social & I call on the Trump Admin to invest in women. Our economy, our families, & our futures depend on it.
As RM of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee, I met with Janet Petro to discuss the path forward for Artemis II, emphasizing the need for astronaut safety. We also discussed my concerns over the proposed FY26 cuts to NASA Science & the need to fully fund NASA to ensure U.S. leadership in space.
I voted against the Republicans’ partisan CR because it fails to support working families across North Carolina who are struggling with rising everyday costs. Our budget should be a reflection of our values, and Congress should focus on investing in the American people. Read my full statement:
House Democrats are united and oppose the GOP’s proposed partisan CR that ignores the needs of the American people. We are willing to negotiate on a budget that reflects our values, addresses rising costs, and protects access to affordable healthcare.
It was great meeting with Duke researchers working on the NASA Roman Space Telescope as it nears completion & launch. As Ranking Member of the Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee, I’m proud of the vital role our local researchers play in advancing space discovery & shaping the future of exploration.
Today, I met with medical researchers from #NC04 to discuss the urgent need for strong NIH funding in FY26. Any delays or cuts to funding risk stalling lifesaving research & threaten our public health. Congress must act in a timely manner to avoid disruption & keep critical research moving forward.
It's been two months since I contacted BOP Director Marshall about the deplorable conditions at FCC Butner, and I've yet to receive a response. I met with AFGE Local 408, which represents FCC Butner workers, to hear more directly from them about the current state of the complex👇🏾
It was great meeting with NASA’s Expedition 72 Crew who recently returned home from the ISS! As Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee, I’ll keep fighting to ensure NASA has the funding needed to push the boundaries of scientific research and space exploration.
I was proud to meet with @nihfellowsunited.bsky.social who are fighting for our local NIH workers that continue to be demonized by this administration. The NIH keeps our country healthy and at the forefront of scientific research—turning our backs on science is turning our backs on our future.
These production delays have serious implications for USPS's operations and our efforts to lead the transition towards cleaner transportation. Today, I wrote to Oshkosh Defense demanding updates regarding this contract and a realistic timeline for completion.
