The $778 billion Department of Defense funding bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives last month includes a number of measures that could impact the greater Fort Bragg community.

U.S. Rep., Richard Hudson, whose district includes Fort Bragg and about half of Moore County, praised some of the provisions, such as a 2.7 percent pay raise for troops in addition to a basic needs allowance for low-income servicemembers. The legislation would also fund $27.2 million in infrastructure projects at Fort Bragg.

A group of Republican Congressional representatives led by North Carolina Rep. Dan Bishop wrote Attorney General Merrick Garland Thursday demanding an explanation for the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) targeting of American parents protesting against local school officials.

North Carolina’s 8th District congressman is teaming up with a high-profile Texas counterpart to help sponsor a bill clarifying the federal government’s response to health care emergencies.

Rep. Richard Hudson and fellow Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas are working with two Democrats, Anna Eshoo of California and Paul Tonko of New York, on the Health Emergencies Are Literally Tenets of HHS, or HEALTH, Act.

Lt. Col. Scheller has gained notable media attention this month after he openly criticized the Biden administration for their handling of the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

The letter reads:
