When I talk about service, it’s not theory. I grew up watching it. This is my dad in Korea. His service, like so many others’, shaped how I understand commitment. On Veterans Day, I’m grateful for all who’ve worn the uniform and for the example they set. We honor them with thanks and with action.

Republicans’ dysfunction has consequences. It’s day 29 of the government shutdown, and 1.5 million North Carolinians are at risk of losing their SNAP benefits. That’s 13% of our state paying the price for Washington’s chaos.

SNAP benefits in North Carolina will be paused on Nov. 1: Here's what this means
If the federal government shutdown continues, a federal food program for low-income households will be paused, affecting more than 1 million in North Carolina.

My years as a doctor taught me to listen first, understand the problem, then find solutions. That’s how I’ll serve in Congress, and it’s how I’ll fight for Western North Carolina, with leadership rooted in service, not politics.

I was fortunate to talk with James Hrynyshyn on his podcast, Polk Lore. We spoke about the state of health care in America, the current shutdown of the federal government, and my candidacy for Congress in NC-11. Listen to it now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube! polklore.com

Healthcare cuts will mean less access and fewer nurses, therapists, and doctors. The cuts to our healthcare system have only just begun. How have our elected officials responded? The Federal Government is controlled by Republicans; all they have done is shut down our government.

More from launch day. I’m running for Congress because I believe everyone has the right to affordable health care!

Food, housing, and healthcare costs are exploding in WNC because Republicans cut programs like this that saved lives and saved money. I’m running because I know what happens when care ends, and I won’t stand by while my neighbors are left behind.

One year after Hurricane Helene, too many of us in Western NC are still living with the wreckage. We grieve the more than 100 lives lost and stand with families still picking up the pieces. Together, we’ll work until every community is whole again. #NCstrong #NC11
