62 years ago, the Equal Pay Act was signed into law to prohibit sex-based wage discrimination nationwide.
Today, women continue to earn just 83 cents for every dollar a man earns. It’s time for Congress to take steps to close the pay gap and ensure fair wages for all.

I spoke on the House floor to honor the memory and legacy of former Hillsborough Mayor Horace Johnson.
Mayor Johnson was a beloved community leader, civil rights trailblazer, and tireless advocate for the Town of Hillsborough. He will be deeply missed.
On National Gun Violence Awareness Day, we #WearOrange to honor the countless victims of gun violence & the lives that are forever changed by this preventable crisis.
As a member of the House GVPTF, I remain committed to fighting for sensible gun reforms & community violence intervention programs.
It’s absolutely shameful that nearly every single Republican is choosing tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy over health care for hardworking families.
This week, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office revealed that Trump’s budget bill will not only add $3 trillion to the deficit, but it will also strip health care away from 16 million Americans.
It’s absolutely shameful that nearly every single Republican is choosing tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy over health care for hardworking families.
It was great meeting with the Nat'l Association of Realtors to discuss our housing supply shortage & proposals that will stabilize rising costs & address barriers to homeownership.
I’m committed to finding bipartisan solutions to ensure every American has a safe, affordable place to call home.
I met with @aamctoday.bsky.social to discuss the essential role our medical institutions play in improving the health of patients & communities across North Carolina.
We must ensure NIH & our medical colleges have the funding they need to continue delivering lifesaving research & care nationwide.
Trump’s travel ban targets communities of color, violates our core principles, & weakens our global leadership.
Make no mistake: This shameful order is rooted in bigotry & has nothing to do with safety or security—it's about stoking fear & division.
We've seen this before & we will fight it again.

On today's Democratic Daily Download, @equality.house.gov Chair @repmarktakano.bsky.social celebrates Pride Month! House Democrats will never stop fighting for freedom and equality for all Americans.
Trump's assault on science threatens innovation, stalls progress, and puts America's global leadership in jeopardy.
If you had a federal research grant that was canceled, we want to hear from you.

For National Gun Violence Awareness Month, I joined the Congressional Black Caucus on the House floor to demand action on lifesaving gun violence prevention legislation.
With each day of inaction, lives are lost. Congress must pass commonsense reforms NOW.

Millions of innocent civilians in Gaza face starvation and are in dire need of assistance.
Today, alongside Reps. Jayapal, Raskin, Keating, and Balint, I co-led a resolution urging the Trump Administration to use every diplomatic tool to ensure the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid.
📅 NEXT WEEK: My office will be holding Mobile Office Hours at the Chatham County Historic Courthouse on June 11th from 11AM to 1PM.
Come by to speak with a member of my constituent services team if you are experiencing any issues with a federal agency—we are here to help!
Extreme heat kills more Americans yearly than any other weather event. Terminating $4.55M in funding, including over $2M at Durham’s Museum of Life & Science, aimed at addressing this danger will have detrimental effects.
I co-led a letter with Rep. Lieu urging @NOAA to reverse this cancellation.
Happy #PrideMonth! Pride is a time to remember that no matter who you are, or who you love, you are perfect just the way you are.
As an ally and member of @equality.house.gov, I will keep fighting for the LGBTQ+ community to ensure everyone is able to live safely & freely as their authentic selves.

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repbeatty.bsky.social breaks down Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill — a nightmare ripping food and care from millions. House Republicans pushed it through while you were sleeping because they don’t want you to know what’s in it.
My heart is with the loved ones of all those affected by the terrorist attack in Boulder, CO yesterday on the eve of Shavuot.
I stand with our Jewish community during this time, and we must continue to commit ourselves to stomping out antisemitism and hate in all forms across our society.
Our local law enforcement has no obligation to serve as an arm of federal immigration enforcement. Read my full statement. (2/2)
Trump's targeting of Chatham, Durham, and Orange Counties in his so-called "sanctuary jurisdictions" list is a blatant political stunt meant to intimidate local governments into vilifying immigrants. (1/2)
