In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Working families across North Carolina and the country continue to face rising living costs The American Tariff Rebate Act puts money directly back into the pockets of middle-class families by providing swift, direct tax rebates to offset the costs associated with the President's tariffs and the rising cost of everyday expenses.”
“I am deeply disturbed by the reports that a man entered a campus building at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and yelled racial slurs at Black students during a watch party. No one in our society should ever face harassment, intimidation, or discrimination in school or anywhere else. Yet, all too often, Black students and students of color are made to feel that they do not belong in spaces where they should feel safe and welcome.”
“Today's successful launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope is a historic achievement Roman will usher in a new age of scientific discovery in space and expand our understanding of the universe. I want to congratulate the Roman team at NASA Goddard and the many other NASA, contractor, and academic partners for their hard work and dedication in getting us to this successful launch today. I am especially proud of the scientists at Duke University and North Carolina Central University in my District whose contributions to Roman helped make this mission possible. North Carolina's Fourth Congressional District has always been a hotbed for innovation and that commitment to excellence is now traveling from the Research Triangle to the stars. Flagship missions like Roman are what make NASA the premier space agency in the world. The possibilities for discovery are endless when we invest in science.”
