My Commitment to You
November 8, 2020
Friends,
It goes without saying, but it's been a historic week for our state and country. I want to first say thank you. I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to continue serving our community in Congress for another term. Just as it has been throughout my time in office, I remain committed to working for all the people of this district, no matter what your political party or ideology might be.
We have a lot of work cut out for us and it is a challenging time for our country. But I am staying focused on solving problems.
My priorities remain rebuilding the greatest economy we've ever seen. We need to lower the price of prescription drugs and bring manufacturing back to America from countries like China. We must continue to clean up our drinking water from dangerous chemicals like GenX. Most importantly, we must continue doing everything possible to support our veterans, our troops, and their families.
I am especially proud to be Fort Bragg's Congressman and represent so many servicemembers and their families. I will never stop fighting for those who wear or have worn our nation's uniform, and their loved ones. That's why I am committed to continue pushing for legislation including my Care for the Veteran Caregivers Act to support injured veterans and their caregivers.
I also know that we must fully emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. That's why last week, I introduced the Commitment to Defeat the Virus and Keep America Healthy Act. This targeted legislation attacks real problems created by COVID-19 in our healthcare system. It ensures Americans, especially seniors, can access the care they need – whether it be mental health or telehealth services. Among other provisions, it also builds on the work done by the Trump administration to strengthen our Strategic National Stockpile so we can better respond to COVID-19 and future public health emergencies. I care most about ensuring you have the resources you need to receive the best health care. That's why I introduced this legislation to give us the tools we need now to fight COVID-19 and put infrastructure in place to make sure we are better prepared for future pandemics.
Working together, I am confident we can tackle many of the problems facing our nation. We must also work to overcome the uncertainty that remains with numerous elections around country, including in North Carolina. Protecting everyone's vote and the integrity of our elections is fundamental to our democracy. I will continue to ensure that steps are being taken in our state and around the country to accurately count every legal vote and validate accurate election results.
One thing is certain, this is a critical time to pray for our country and our leaders. My office is also always here for you if you have any questions or need assistance. You can contact my offices in Concord at 704-786-1612, Fayetteville at 910-997-2070, or Washington, D.C. at 202-225-3715. It's an honor to be your Congressman and I'll keep fighting for you.
Until next week,
