Today, I am proud to join my @houseagdems.bsky.social colleagues in urging Speaker Johnson to reconsider the proposed cuts to SNAP.

I will never stop fighting to protect this invaluable program that thousands of 12th District families need to survive.

I’m proud to continue to support Ukraine in their fight—even when this administration won’t.

The Trump Administration is once again using the federal government to attack teachers, students, and schools that dare to promote fairness and inclusion.

House Republicans support freeing violent felons who brutally attacked police officers on January 6. The Republican decision to release these dangerous criminals into our communities makes America less safe.

The Federal Highway Administration is releasing over $300 million to help repair highways in areas affected by Tropical Storm Helene. Thank you to Secretary Pete Buttigieg and the Federal Government for working around the clock to help North Carolinians affected by this awful storm.

North Carolina is stronger for their service in the US House. When the people of our state get their fair share of democracy in fair maps, there will be many big shoes to fill.

It’s been a joy to serve the people of Greater Charlotte with Representative, now Attorney General-elect Jeff Jackson. We’ve brought community projects to the city and worked on housing legislation like the American Neighborhoods Protection Act.

I’ve worked with Rep. Kathy Manning for many years, as we both began our political careers in Greensboro. She’s been a good partner on the @EdWorkforceDems, and a champion for voices of justice like the Greensboro Four.

Service is indeed the rent we pay to live on God’s Earth. I will miss working with my fellow North Carolinians who have kept their rent fully paid:
