Last week, Congress took an important step to protect children from intoxicating hemp products. An unregulated, wide-open market for synthetically derived products was never the intent. I applaud Congress for closing this unintended loophole. Read more in my @RCPolitics op-ed:

Honored to be at the @WhiteHouse for the signing of the GENIUS Act. Thanks to @RepFrenchHill, @RepBryanSteil, & @SenatorHagerty for their leadership on this important first step to provide regulatory clarity for digital assets in the US.

Massive, bipartisan vote for the CLARITY Act. We have real momentum behind the effort to build a regulatory framework for digital assets in the US. Thank you to @RepFrenchHill, @RepBryanSteil, @CongressmanGT, & @RepDustyJohnson for their work.

I am thankful for Senator Tillis’ years of dedicated service to our state. As Speaker he recruited and led the class that flipped the legislature red in 2010, delivering the pro-growth tax policies that have made North Carolina the best place to live and work in the country. As a

Big, bipartisan vote for the GENIUS Act. A hugely important step for crypto. Congratulations to @SenatorHagerty, @SenLummis, @gillibrandny, @MarkWarner, & the other bipartisan leaders of this effort. Their work made today’s vote possible.

Saddened to hear the news of Oscar Wong's passing. Oscar was an institution in Asheville & the craft beer community nationally. Personally, he was always kind & welcoming when I represented the area. And like so many others who have enjoyed Highland's offerings through the years,

Saddened to hear the news of Bruce’s passing. He always welcomed me to Conover while I represented it in Congress. Bruce was never bashful about asking for assistance to help revitalize Conover and the city is better for his service. My prayers are with his family as they mourn.

Huge win. Big congratulations to @RepBryanSteil, @RepFrenchHill, @FinancialCmte, and all the staff that made this possible.

Credit to @RepBryanSteil & @RepFrenchHill for carrying on our work from last Congress with the introduction of the STABLE Act. Great to see this important legislation moving forward.

Two years ago, I had the honor of recognizing Marshall Rauch on the House floor on the occasion of his 100th birthday. His contributions to our area will be remembered for years to come. My prayers are with his family. https://t.co/TZHOTm6SE7

Saddened to learn of the passing of one of NC's great statesmen, Marshall Rauch. He was a tremendous business and civic leader in my hometown of Gastonia-- and North Carolina. May his memory be a blessing. https://t.co/3Hry83OwhZ

Sad to hear of the passing of Lincoln Diaz-Balart. He was a tremendous leader in the fight for freedom for Cuba. Personally, I learned a lot from him when we served together in the House. My prayers are with the entire Diaz-Balart family as they mourn.

As a policymaker, I focused my work on modernizing financial markets and positioning the US as the global leader in digital asset innovation. I look forward to continuing that work as part of the team at @OndoFinance.

Dr. Bill Thierfelder has been a transformative leader in the storied history of my alma mater, @BelmontAbbey. Under his leadership, enrollment has grown, campus facilities have been enhanced, and he played a key role in securing a groundbreaking partnership with CaroMont Health
