Representative First Last

Dear Friend,

As we begin a new year and a new Congress, I look forward to continuing my work for the people of Wake County. It’s the honor of a lifetime to continue serving North Carolina's Second Congressional District. This Congress, I'm especially excited to represent new communities, like Wake Forest and Rolesville. Please know that my district office in Raleigh is always here to serve you – whether it’s help accessing your VA benefits or assistance with getting your tax refunds from the IRS.

At the end of 2022, President Joe Biden signed into law a government funding package that includes historic investments in Wake County. I fought hard to secure over $26 million in funding for 15 projects across our community that will make a real difference in the lives of Wake County residents. Read below to learn more about a few of these projects:

Pleasant Grove Community Center in Wendell

I'm so excited to announce that $2 million will be invested in the Pleasant Grove Community Center in Wendell. The Pleasant Grove Community Center is a collaborative partnership with the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, Town of Wendell, and Wake County to reimagine the future use of the historic African American Carver School. The community center rehabilitation will provide a space to offer families afterschool, track out, and summer camp programs; job development services; and a business incubator to host the entrepreneurial program, LaunchWENDELL.

WakeMed Behavioral Health Hospital

The pandemic only exacerbated the mental health crisis, and it's critical that we have the resources to get those struggling the help they need. That's why I fought to secure $6 million for WakeMed Health & Hospitals to establish a behavioral health hospital that will help Wake County cope with the rising number of mental health and substance-use cases in our area.

Maynard Road Multifamily Housing in Cary

Every North Carolinian deserves a place to call home. At a time when our community is facing an affordable housing shortage, I'm proud to have secured $1 million to support an affordable housing project in Cary. I'll keep fighting to ensure everyone in Wake County has a roof over their heads.

Delivering Over $26 Million for Wake County

These projects were developed by the people of Wake County, for the people of Wake County. I fought for this funding because I know it will make a positive difference in our community. You can learn more about all 15 projects here.
