I had the opportunity to meet with Duke University PHD students participating in the @aaas.org Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering workshop. We stressed the need for Congress to fund the NSF and NIH to ensure a strong domestic workforce and our nation's global STEM competitiveness.

I met with #NC04 App Challenge winner, Shunav Sen from NCSSM to discuss his team's app, Skin Spot, which helps provide diagnoses for skin conditions. Seeing the work of our students is inspiring, and I will continue to uplift these programs that promote their continued success.

The Republicans' SAVE ACT restricts voting for millions of eligible citizens and would cost every day Americans billions of dollars. I was proud to vote NO on this modern-day Jim Crow bill that suppresses votes while forcing Americans to pay the price.

As global temperatures continue to rise, it’s imperative that Congress provide families with innovative ways to beat the heat & lower energy costs. I’m proud to introduce the Cool Roof Rebate Act with @foushee.house.gov & @repraulruizmd.bsky.social to do just that. cleaver.house.gov/media-center...

In #NC04, 155,000 people are at risk of losing their healthcare and 68,000 people are at risk of losing vital food assistance if the Republican budget passes. I'm voting no on the GOP's attempt to cut these vital services to hand trillions in handouts to billionaires.

I’m deeply concerned by reports that international students in NC-04 were unjustly targeted by the Trump Admin, and had their visas revoked and education disrupted without any explanation. (1/2) www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...
Visas of 6 international students at UNC-Chapel Hill terminated by Trump administration
The terminations of the UNC students’ visas comes after similar revocations at NC State University and Duke University, as well as dozens of universities around the country.

Trump's reckless workforce cuts are risking the livelihoods of over 82,000 federal workers in NC. I'm proud to join Rep. Thanedar in introducing the Tax Relief for Fired Workers Act to provide financial support to impacted civil servants by removing federal income taxes on unemployment benefits.

Revoking visas held by South Sudanese passport holders hurts families, students, athletes, and workers across NC during a time when their home country faces a potential civil war. I sent a letter with @ross.house.gov urging Secretary Rubio to reverse this unconscionable policy.

On #AANHPIEqualPayDay, we recognize the pay inequities that Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women continue to face across the nation. As a member of the Democratic Women's Caucus and @capac.house.gov, I’m fighting for equal pay to close the wage gap once and for all.

As temperatures rise globally, Congress must support communities with the resources needed to mitigate the effects of extreme heat. I'm introducing the Cool Roof Rebate Act with Rep. Cleaver and Rep. Ruiz to help households buy reflective roofing products. foushee.house.gov/media/press-...

It was great to meet Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools students taking part in the Blue Ribbon Mentor Advocate program this week. I’m proud to see programs like this one that provide students with career development and mentoring opportunities, and help guarantee the continued success of our community.
