If you need proof the Democrats don’t understand the effect their disastrous policies are having on the our economy, check out what President Biden said a year ago. Instead of acknowledging the very real concerns after the Consumer Price Index increased to 5.4%, Biden told the American people that inflation was “temporary.” Now it is at 9.1%.

Biden's Energy Tax

Every American is suffering from rising energy costs and Biden’s war on American energy. In fact, it has already cost families $1,500 more this year with no end to inflation and reckless democratic policies in sight.

Meeting with NASCAR Legend Richard Petty

This week I was honored to meet with "The King" to discuss the RPM Act. I introduced the RPM Act, which permanently blocks attempts by the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate modified motor vehicles used for racing. I am proud of North Carolina's rich automotive heritage and will continue to work to ensure enthusiasts of the sport here in North Carolina and across the country can continue the time-honored tradition of modifying stock vehicles for competitive racing.
