"Strong rural health care, fair treatment for hard-working people, and a secure future for eastern North Carolina are what we must work together to make a priority. We’re putting our hard-working families first. I’m glad to co-sponsor the following bills: ▪️ H.R. 4277, the Rural Emergency Hospital Financial Stability Act, would improve Medicaid reimbursements to help rural emergency hospitals keep their doors open. ▪️ H.R. 6295, the Working for Tips Tax Relief Act, would exclude qualifying tips from federal income tax and direct the U.S. Department of the Treasury to study making that relief permanent. ▪️ H.R. 9187, Bipartisan Social Security Commission Act of 2026, would address Social Security's long-term solvency by creating a bipartisan, independent commission."

"Congratulations to Christopher Hicks, an agriculture teacher at Eastern Wayne High School for being named the 2027 North Carolina Career and Technical Education Teacher of the Year! If we cannot get more young people interested in agriculture, who is going to grow the food that ends up on our tables? Christopher is helping answer that question by getting students interested in farming and teaching them the skills they need to make a living in agriculture. I appreciate the work he is doing for our young people and the future of farming in eastern North Carolina. https://t.co/mCZGVl3o7h"

"Behind every headstone is a story about sacrifice and an American hero who answered the call to serve. I am honored to announce $2,613,394 to support the expansion of the Eastern Carolina State Veterans Cemetery. The investment through the VA's Veterans Cemetery Grants Program will help to expand the cemetery, allowing more space for veterans to be laid to rest closer to home. Our veterans should be able to receive the final honor they so rightfully earned close to home. They stood for America. We must always stand for them."

"Our future will be built on the strength of our communities, good-paying jobs, and the people of eastern North Carolina working hard to move our region forward. From opening Elizabeth City State University's new Currituck Flight Training Center to visiting the Port of Morehead City, our focus is on building new opportunities for our economy, our military, and our coastal communities."

"By supporting commercial fishermen we are supporting families, jobs, businesses and a strong heritage of coastal life in eastern North Carolina. Congress must pass H.R. 9154, the SHRIMP Act of 2026, to develop the tools to ensure that country-of-origin labeling can be verified for imported shrimp and that those foreign producers who currently circumvent U.S. import regulations can be held accountable. Our fishermen deserve a fair chance to succeed, and consumers have a right to know where their seafood comes from."

"North Carolina is the third-largest hog-producing state in the country. Our swine industry is a large part of the state's agricultural economy and food supply. A voluntary U.S. Department of Agriculture framework for swine disease monitoring and herd health certification can help farmers and allow for a more timely response to disease outbreaks to protect our economy and food supply."

"Proud to have voted for the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act because families in eastern North Carolina deserve real solutions. The new law removes red tape, establishes an Innovation Fund to increase the amount of available affordable housing, modernizes HUD programs, and levels the playing field for families buying a home. I'm working to reduce the cost of owning a house, provide more people the opportunity to own their own home, and build stronger communities in the East."
