Dear Friend, From day one, President Trump and Republicans in Congress have enacted policies that are hurting North Carolina. They cut Medicaid funding that threatens the healthcare of millions and the stability of our rural hospitals. They cut nutrition assistance that feeds hungry children. Trump fired thousands of federal workers, including EPA researchers here in the Triangle dedicated to protecting the water we drink and the air we breathe. Now, they have shut down the government -- suspending critical programs and services rather than working with Democrats to fix the healthcare crisis they created.  At this pivotal moment, it's so important for citizens like you to make your voices heard. If you or a loved one has been personally affected by the President's actions, including the government shutdown, please share your story with me using the form below. I may share your story so that my colleagues and constituents can better understand the real damage that Trump is causing here in North Carolina. You can share your story with my office using this link.
