In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“As a retired educator, I have seen first-hand the impact a great education can have on a young person's life. I will always be a champion for public schools, our teachers, our children, and our HBCUs.”
“Shelter is a basic human need, and housing is a fundamental human right. The average rent for an apartment in Charlotte is over $1,400 a month, a cost that is too high for many families. Faith-based organizations in my district and across the nation want to use their resources to build more affordable housing for their communities, but high upfront pre-development costs can be a major deterrent. My bill would relieve some of that burden on faith-based organizations and help to boost our affordable housing supply.”
“Since the 2024 election, we've had some big successes, including the implementation of the American Rescue Plan Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, introduction of the Momnibus, IGNITE HBCU Infrastructure, passage of the FUTURE ACT and other initiatives to support health and food security. These legislative victories are responsible for everything from the Child Tax Credit to over a billion dollars in transit funding and billions for Housing, public schools and Higher Education.”
“I believe health care is a basic human right that should be accessible and affordable for all our citizens.”
“I will always fight for a woman's right to choose and the right to privacy. Reproductive issues are health care issues, and they should be kept private between a woman and her doctor.”
“As we enter 2026, I am pleased to provide a few highlights of my work this year. It is my privilege to represent the citizens of North Carolina's 12th District. I have introduced bills, led letters, and fought to address housing affordability, hunger and food insecurity, expand access to healthcare, and strengthen education for students. As your member of Congress, what matters to you matters to me.”
