I am relieved that Reverend Gabriel Johnson, a constituent of North Carolina’s Fourth District, was released from ICE custody and is now transitioning to a rehabilitation hospital. However, Mr. Johnson’s story is one of many. Read my full statement.

We must continue to fight for passage of legislation to completely dismantle and defund this agency which has no place in our country.

ICE's detention of Isaac Gallegos must end immediately. ICE is not an agency focused on public safety, it is an agency that seeks to strike fear into our community and split families apart.

As we continue to fight for the passage of Medicare for All, I’ll continue exploring all routes to support our local healthcare facilities and ensure they can continue providing quality care to our communities.

It was great to join Piedmont Health for a tour of their Pittsboro PACE Center to learn more about how Congress can better support comprehensive medical services for older adults.

We will not forget Andrew Brokes's service and sacrifice, and our community owes him a debt of gratitude.

I am keeping the family and loved ones of firefighter Andrew Brokes in my prayers during this difficult time. Andrew dedicated his career to protecting North Carolinians, and today he made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

It was great to visit Rose Manor Health and Rehab in Durham to learn more about their efforts to provide comprehensive care to residents across our communities. While Republicans make cuts to Medicare, I’ll keep fighting for our local medical facilities and ensure they have the support they need.

It was great to join Jordan High School AP Government students for a discussion on the inner workings of government and Congress. These bright students are the future of our nation, and I cannot wait to see how far they will go!

The withholding of Teen Pregnancy Prevention grants by the Department of Health & Human Services from schools like Duke University is another attempt to divert funds obligated by Congress away from programs that help our communities, and into the pockets of this Administration.

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I am standing with survivors as we push for a future free from violence, fear, and abuse.

I was deeply humbled to be recognized by ERA-NC Alliance for my support of the House resolution which recognizes the ERA as ratified by the required 38 states needed for it to become law. Congress must recognize the Equal Rights Amendment and take steps to end discrimination on the basis of sex.

While Congress falls behind in delivering results for our communities, and communities of color in particular—I'm grateful for the local organizations like 39 Legends that are picking up the slack.

It was a pleasure to meet with Willie Parker, a former Tar Heel and Pittsburgh Steeler, and the rest of the 39 Legends team to discuss their work providing assistance to underprivileged children in North Carolina.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, please join me in honoring breast cancer fighters, survivors, their families and caregivers and the loved ones we’ve lost. Breast cancer continues to affect millions of people around the world—don’t forget to get your annual screenings, it could save your life.

I am confident that the American people see their fearmongering for what it truly is: an attempt to hold on to power in the wake of a historically unpopular President and agenda.

Republicans in Raleigh and Washington are making false claims about election security to disenfranchise voters. Republicans hold the majority in Congress, Republicans hold the Presidency and Republicans instigated an insurrection to overturn an election. The threats to our elections come from them.
