I joined former Congresswoman Eva Clayton and the Orange County Dept. of Aging at the Seymour Senior Center to discuss SNAP, the shutdown, and support for our seniors. Protecting SNAP and the health of our seniors isn't just about keeping promises—it’s about strengthening our communities.
Trump is now appealing a court ruling that would require this Administration to pay November SNAP benefits in full. The GOP's insistence on making SNAP a political pawn in their shutdown scheme is heartless and does nothing to help everyday Americans. www.newsweek.com/trump-admin-...
In Durham, a couple making $85,000 a year could see their monthly health care bill skyrocket from $574 to $2,560 next year. Republicans are making a choice—and it’s costing working North Carolina families thousands.
My district is home to thousands of federal workers, and their voices should be heard in the halls of Congress during this shutdown. It's time to end the political games. Republicans need to open the House so we can get to work. (3/3)
Alongside my Democrat colleagues, I have been clear in demanding bipartisan negotiations on a long-term budget that will serve the needs of the American people—including lowering health care costs. Instead, the House has not voted on legislation in over 40 days. (2/3)
No one in America should see their healthcare costs rise by $25,000, but that's what families are facing here in North Carolina. Still, House Republicans won't come to work to find a long-term solution to their health care crisis.
🚨 Calling all NC-04 veterans: Join me on November 10 for a Congressional Veterans Briefing! I’ll be joined by local experts to provide updates on veteran-related issues and to share resources available to veterans and their families. To RSVP, visit: 2025NC04VeteransBriefing.eventbrite.com
SNAP funding runs out tomorrow, but Trump refuses to use the funds available to extend this program during the shutdown. Now, 42 million Americans, including 16 million children, could lose the food assistance they depend on. This isn't a partisan issue, it's a moral one.
Trump's refusal to use contingency funds on SNAP is a heartless attack on American families who need assistance the most. I joined @housedemocrats.bsky.social in calling on the USDA to use these funds in order to maintain SNAP benefits throughout the month of November.
