North Carolina’s congressional delegation remained split Friday when the U.S. House voted to pass the final version of a major climate, tax and health care bill.
North Carolina’s eight Republicans, including the party’s nominee for Senate, Ted Budd, opposed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. But the state’s five Democrats helped push it through the House in a 220-207 vote. The bill now heads to President Joe Biden to sign into law, which is expected to happen quickly.
Friends, “The best preparation for the future is the present well seen to, and the last duty done.” |

A House subcommittee this week recommended approval of a bipartisan amendment that would provide as much as $10 billion to upgrade 911 centers nationwide to next-generation 911 (NG911) technology as part of legislation that would have the FCC auction at least 200 MHz of spectrum in the 3.1-3.45 GHz band.

PITTSBORO — U.S. Representative Richard Hudson Jr. came to Pittsboro last Wednesday while campaigning to be reelected for his sixth term in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Hudson — a registered Republican representing the 8th district — is seeking North Carolina’s 9th congressional district seat after the 2020 census required the state to redraw its electoral districts and maps. Four of the counties Hudson represents moved into the 9th district, which now includes Chatham.

Ponte Verda Beach Florida (CNN)- GOP Sen. Rick Scott of Florida faced intense backlash from Democrats and members of his own party for proposing a legislative agenda. House Republicans, however, aren't worried about opening themselves up to potential attacks as they prepare to unveil an official policy platform.
Chris Marquette : Roll Call
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — House Republicans are huddling to craft their overarching legislative agenda should they win the majority in November, but much of their message so far is focused on combating President Joe Biden’s agenda while seeming unenthusiastic about a pledge to compromise on legislation with the White House.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Rep. Richard Hudson remembers warning Rep. Liz Cheney, minutes before she took the stage at last year’s House GOP retreat, that she would likely get asked whether Donald Trump was still considered the leader of the party.
