Friends,
The failed policies of President Joe Biden are robbing Americans of our ability to provide for our families and save for our future. The inability to rein in out-of-control inflation that continues to haunt families across the country further proves Americans cannot afford four more years of President Biden.
One thing remains clear—the only line of defense against the disastrous policies of President Biden and extreme liberals that control Washington is the House Republican Majority.
The past few weeks in Washington have been challenging, as Republicans in Congress have held internal leadership debates. However, the issues facing our nation and that unite us all as Americans are so much more important—and that’s what I’m focused on.
For example, we are committed to standing united with our ally Israel in wake of the heinous Hamas terrorist attack. House Republicans also have many solutions and legislation to protect your way of life and your constitutional rights. Over the last two years, the Biden administration has perpetrated an all-out assault on the Second Amendment. That’s why I believe it is more important than ever that we stand up for our rights and send a message to Washington Democrats: we will not be rolled over.
In fact, I stood with 50 of my friends from Women for Gun Rights just this week at a press conference emphasizing the need to protect our Second Amendment rights. I also heard testimonies from these ladies describing how guns protected them from home invasions, how a gun could have saved a young boy’s life, and even a high-school student who would have felt better defended against a school shooting if she and her teachers were armed.
So far this year, I have spearheaded multiple pieces of legislation that reverse government overreach on your right to keep and bear arms. These bills include H.R. 38, my Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which allows law-abiding citizens to travel freely from state to state and not become criminals simply because they have crossed some invisible line.
Earlier this month, my bill H.R. 5110, the Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act, was signed into law after passing with overwhelming bipartisan support in the House, and unanimously passing out of the Senate. The benefits of hunter education and archery programs should be fully recognized, and the Department of Education's attempt to push their radical agenda on our children should not be taken lightly. I was proud to lead on this common sense legislation in order to bring an end to the unnecessary war on archery and hunting classes started by the Biden administration. As Congress’ leading defender of the Second Amendment, I will continue to focus on solutions that protect our rights.
Finally, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it serves as a time to raise awareness for the one in eight women in the United States who will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, and the over 10,000 women that will be diagnosed in North Carolina this year. To break down financial barriers to lifesaving screenings, I introduced the Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act. By increasing access to multi-cancer early detection screening tests through Medicare, we can detect cancers sooner and save lives here in North Carolina and around the country.
As we work to improve the quality of healthcare across our nation, I am thankful for the world class medical centers we have right here in the Sandhills. I recently had the privilege of welcoming representatives from FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital to the Capitol to recognize their incredible accomplishment of being named as one of the nation’s 100 top hospitals for the third consecutive year. As a member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee, I am working to make sure all Americans have access to high quality and affordable health care like our community has at FirstHealth.
As your Congressman, I will continue to serve you and advance commonsense policies to create an economy that’s strong, a nation that’s safe, a government that’s accountable, and a future built on freedom.
Until Next Time,
