I am proud to see Greensboro has received much-needed support to tackle critical broadband issues facing our community and its students -- many of whom are learning virtually this year. As we continue to get through this pandemic together, expanding broadband access to low-income areas is a fundamental step to ensuring all North Carolinians have the resources needed to firmly take our state into the 2020’s and beyond.

Brittany goes out of her way to provide our veterans, senior citizens and caregivers with the respect and compassion they deserve as they make vital decisions regarding their futures. With community heroes like Brittany, our most vulnerable North Carolinians are in good hands.

Not only would current legislative proposals in Congress advocating on behalf of Catawba gambling interests in the Charlotte area play favorites at the expense of our state’s recognized Cherokee tribe, but the presence of an additional casino would have consequential economic impacts for many western North Carolinians who call our state home. I encourage supporters of these efforts to realign behind the already-bipartisan opposition and stand firm in prioritizing North Carolinians and the tribes that call our state home. Picking winners from other states is a bad bet.

Barring parents from an empty 51,000-seat stadium because of North Carolina’s 50-person outdoor mass gathering restriction is illogical, ridiculous, and a gross mismanagement of policies supposedly put in place for our state’s safety. UNC and Governor Cooper need to fix this and amend any restrictions to allow mothers and fathers to support their children.
