Heggins said she visited Washington on Friday to speak with representatives of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Rep. Richard Hudson, R-8, and Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C.
U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, R-8, announced Thursday that he plans to join his colleagues to introduce legislation to impose severe sanctions on Turkey after that country launched military operations in northern Syria against U.S.-allied Kurdish forces.

As the only local reporter (as far as I know) to go to Washington, D.C., to document Rowan County’s girls of summer and their White House invitation, I had a unique insight that I wanted to share on what went on behind the scenes and those wonderful pictures sent out by President Trump.
Well...in the interest of full disclosure, I wasn’t there for all of it. I’ll explain that shortly.
