U.S.-led industrial innovation is paving the way to make meaningful emissions reductions and create good-paying jobs.
I’m proud to reintroduce the IMPACT Act 2.0 with Congressman Max Miller to bolster low-emissions concrete and asphalt production and boost demand for these materials.

My district is home to the largest EPA campus which employs over 2,000 federal workers. Any cuts to the agency would leave these civil servants & critical environmental protection efforts in disarray.
I led a letter with 100+ of my colleagues demanding an immediate reversal of these planned cuts.
House Democrats are united and stand ready to pass a four-week funding extension.
I am willing to vote on a clean, short-term CR that doesn’t include harmful cuts, keeps the government open, and allows Congress to reach a bipartisan agreement.
It was wonderful meeting with the NC League of Municipalities to discuss local infrastructure funding and the need for further disaster relief for NC.
Thank you for all that you do for our communities, and I look forward to continuing our work to address critical issues facing the Fourth District.
Today, I stand with our children, students, working families, and the agency employees who were senselessly fired.
As a cosponsor of the Department of Education Protection Act, I will continue to explore every avenue possible to safeguard this critical federal agency. (5/5)
The effects of these cuts will be felt in every community across the country.
Over 26 million students could lose access to critical funding to help them get ahead, while 10 million students from lower-income families could lose access to two- and four-year colleges due to cost. (4/5)
This agency also helps ensure that no students with disabilities are left behind, through the Office of Special Education Programs and Section 504.
Without @usedgov.bsky.social, our efforts to support these 7.5 million students nationwide would be severely impacted. (3/5)
Many states struggle to fund education programs, with some spending as low as $8,000 per K-12 student.
The Department of Education's main role is to help fill these gaps by distributing federal dollars to state and local agencies, and administering financial aid for students. (2/5)
Trump is dismantling the Department of Education.
Let’s break down this reckless decision that will devastate efforts to support students from low-income households, students with disabilities, and K-12 Schools across the country🧵(1/5)

Mahmoud Khalil is a permanent legal resident. He hasn't been charged with any crimes, but Trump is trying to revoke his legal status.
These illegal and inhumane actions set a dangerous precedent for free speech in our country. He must be released immediately.
Today, I proudly voted against the partisan Republican funding bill.
Keeping our government funded is essential, but Republicans refused to work across the aisle, and I refuse to vote for cuts to veterans' benefits, health care, housing, and more.
Read my full statement:
Pauli Murray was a trailblazer for civil, women, and LGBTQ+ rights.
The Trump Administration is weaponizing the National Park Service and censoring webpages, but it cannot change our true history and the extensive contributions of Pauli Murray to our nation.

This indiscriminate firing of federal employees disrupts the critical work of the government across the nation.
I’m proud to join my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues in introducing the Protect Our Probationary Employees Act to safeguard our civil servants from Trump and Musk’s mass firings.
Republicans are pushing a Continuing Resolution that cuts $23 billion in veterans benefits and slashes funding for health care and housing.
I'm voting no. Democrats are willing to work towards a bipartisan resolution, but we will never support cuts to these vital services.
But the Trump Administration knows this. Still, they choose to prioritize political agendas over disease research and prevention.
In Congress, I’m proud to cosponsor the Protect U.S. National Security Act to safeguard USAID, and I will continue to fight to reinstate this funding.
The shuttering of USAID would affect 1,800 employees across 60 international development organizations in the Triangle region.
North Carolina, as a whole, has over 900 global health institutions, which sustain over 170,000 jobs in the state and over $31 billion to NC’s economy.
USAID is the primary way America promotes global health domestically and abroad.
Any freezes to USAID funding cripples our ability to provide humanitarian aid to our allies and hinders our ability to conduct lifesaving disease research here at home.
I'm glad SCOTUS is properly taking steps to prevent the Trump Administration's illegal shuttering of USAID.
There is lots of misinformation going around, so here are some of the ways closing USAID would impact #NC04 and our global community 🧵

I’m excited to announce the opening of the 2025 Fourth District Congressional Art Competition for high school students!
The winner will have their art displayed for a year inside the US Capitol.
The deadline to submit your work is April 11. To learn more, visit: foushee.house.gov/congressiona...
Today marks 60 years since Bloody Sunday, when peaceful protesters were attacked in Selma, AL as they demanded voting rights for Black Americans.
Their courage prompted the passage of the Voting Rights Act, and we honor their legacies by continuing to fight to protect our fundamental voting rights.
