This year, I introduced and co-sponsored 198 bills, secured $128 million in federal funding for NC-06, and returned over $5.1 million owed to constituents through casework.
It’s been my sincere pleasure to represent North Carolina’s Sixth District in 2023.
Instead of wasting time on unserious bills that focus on “liberty in laundry,” Congress should focus on issues Americans care about, like reproductive rights.
That’s why I called for Congress to vote on my
#RightToContraceptionAct
, to protect the right to access birth control.
#OTD
in 1960, the FDA approved the first birth control pill, advancing women's equality & health.

Everyone knows moms are real-life superheroes! Ahead of Mother’s Day on Sunday, I joined

The frightening rise of antisemitism on college campuses across the U.S. is unacceptable.
At today’s
@EdWorkforceDems
hearing, I asked
@SecCardona
how my Countering Antisemitism Act would benefit the Department of Education’s efforts to combat antisemitism.
President Biden delivered powerful remarks to commemorate Holocaust Days of Remembrance, condemn the vicious rise in antisemitism, and reaffirm the US' ironclad commitment to supporting the Jewish state of Israel. I applaud
@POTUS

I enjoyed meeting with

On Yom HaShoah, we reflect on the horrors of the Holocaust, when six million innocent Jews, including more than one million children, were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators. The world must use this moment to reflect on the serious dangers of unchecked antisemitism.
