I'm fighting to reopen the government and put people over politics. As we continue to rebuild after Hurricane Helene, families in WNC need stability, not shutdowns.

House Republicans are united in our commitment to reopen the government responsibly and ensure hardworking Americans aren’t used as political leverage. I've already voted to keep our government open. It’s time for Senate Democrats to stop the political games and focus on real

🚨Great News! @DHSgov announced another $155 million is on the way to Western North Carolina for Hurricane Helene recovery. Despite the continued shutdown, I will continue working with FEMA to deliver the critical funding our mountain communities need to rebuild.

President Trump continues to fulfill his promise to deliver disaster relief to Americans in crisis. Today, @Sec_Noem delivered another $155 million in relief to those most impacted by Hurricane Helene. We will always stand by Americans in need!

When asked if he would forgo pay during the government shutdown, Democrat @SenRubenGallego stated: "I would basically be missing, you know, mortgage payments, rent payments, child support... So, it's not feasible, not gonna happen." Does he not think the more than 85,000 federal

Democrats are holding the most vulnerable Americans hostage. While they play politics, SNAP benefits hang in the balance for millions of families.

“Families are going to suffer. We take that responsibility very seriously, but it is one of the few leverage times we have." - @WhipKClark (D-MA, House Minority Whip) More than 1.4 million families in NC rely on SNAP benefits to put food on the table for their families. Rep.

"The point of this shutdown is not just suffering for suffering's sake, but to make a point.” -@SenTinaSmith (D-MN) More than 28,000 children in NC-11 rely on SNAP. Senator Smith could vote to stop those children from going hungry — instead, she's using their suffering to play

The shutdown has caused more than 50% of flight delays at American airports. Democrats' political games are grounding America.

I did my job. I helped pass 12 appropriations bills as a member of @HouseAppropsGOP I voted to keep the government open. The American people are suffering — it's up to Democrats in the Senate to stop the madness.

Myth: Republicans want to cut your healthcare. Fact: H.R. 1 actually lowers ACA premiums. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says the legislation will cut benchmark premiums by 0.6% by 2034. H.R. 1 lowers costs and protects affordable coverage for hardworking Americans.

As a member of @HouseAppropsGOP, I helped advance all 12 budget bills to fund the government and keep it open. As we prepare to send those bills to the Senate for consideration, I voted to pass a CR using Biden-era funding levels to keep the government open. Thanks to Democrats

Without President Trump's decision to reroute tariff revenue to the WIC program, more than 230,000 North Carolinians would go without access to healthy, nutritious food this week — all thanks to the Democrats' unwillingness to advance a bipartisan, short-term budget package.
