WASHINGTON, D.C. – On the opening day of the 117th Congress one month ago, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) introduced H.R. 38, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. The legislation was introduced with a record 154 bipartisan original cosponsors. The legislation has since been referred to the Judiciary Committee and now has 166 cosponsors.
Friends,
The White House set a record last week, but not one that we should be proud of. President Joe Biden signed 32 Executive Orders and actions in his first week in office, shattering the record of the next highest number by a modern president- 5 signed by President Obama.
I have been outspoken on my willingness to work with President Biden on policies that rebuild our economy, reopen schools, increase vaccine deployment and on other areas where there is bipartisan support. However, the executive actions signed last week are the opposite of bipartisan solutions.
It's time for someone to speak up for Congressman Richard Hudson, who represents Moore and parts of Cumberland County.
While our local and state elections are conducted with the greatest integrity, not all states/cities are as conscientious as North Carolina.
I applaud Congressman Hudson for standing up for his constituents on Jan. 6, whatever the results may be.

In President Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address, given during the midst of the Civil War, he finished with this appeal: "With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
