Proudly representing North Carolina's 4th Congressional District.
On this day in 1865, the 13th amendment was ratified, formally ending slavery in the United States.
Today, we remember this first step in the long fight for equality, and we must continue to reject every attempt to erase this shameful chapter of American history.

70 years ago today, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began, a powerful and peaceful protest which was a foundational event for the civil rights movement.
We honor this historic moment by continuing the fight for true justice for all, today and every day.

The SSEP and Mountain Valley Pipeline Southgate project’s developer has shown disregard for environmental and safety regulations, endangering those communities further.
I joined @bobbyscott.house.gov and @foushee.house.gov to demand that FERC review the impacts of these projects before advancing.

During my remarks as Ranking Member of the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee, I compared China's growing space science plans to Trump's continued attempts to cut NASA funding.
For all the administration's talk of maintaining leadership in space, this clearly isn't a winning strategy.

@ncgovernor.bsky.social is right. DHS continues to sweep our communities while detaining citizens and people with no prior convictions.
Fatima’s story is one of many here in North Carolina. This administration must answer for these inhumane attempts to sow fear across our communities.

Border Patrol says it is targeting violent criminals, but by many reports, more than 70% of those detained have no prior convictions. Fátima Issela Velasquez-Antonio came to North Carolina as an orphaned child a decade ago and is working in and contributing to her community in Wendell.
Wendell woman caught in immigration sweep denied bond at hearing
Attorneys for Fatima Issela Velasquez-Antonio are hopeful they can persuade a federal district judge to release her.

Republicans in DC are headed towards another shutdown while Republicans in North Carolina are focused on silencing American history, past and present.
The NC GOP should focus on finally passing a state budget instead of this harmful fearmongering and attempts to whitewash our school curriculums.
