You stated a few years ago your goal was for the Postal Service to break even by 2023.

I think my colleagues on both sides have done a good job of expressing our concerns about the status of reforms and performance of the Post Office.

The Fleetwood, North Carolina, post office, very small facility in a fast-growing community, is too small for the mail volume it receives.

I am immensely grateful to call Debbie Lesko not only a colleague but also a genuine friend. She is someone I admire. Debbie is one of the kindest and most forgiving people I have ever met in my life. I can attest to that personally…

The Biden-Harris Education Department has once again failed America's hardworking taxpayers. For 3 years in a row, the Education Department failed its audit. In other words, the Education Department has been unable to manage effectively…

To achieve this, each person must be counted so that reapportionment can proceed and give each state the proper number of representatives in the House and the proper number of votes in the electoral college.

For decades, Americans have been sold the line that a college degree is a prerequisite to success and economic mobility. This can be discouraging to the vast majority of the American workforce without a baccalaureate degree. However, study…

On Roll Call No. 479, I mistakenly voted YEA when I intended to vote NAY. ____________________

I have good news and bad news to share as we celebrate National Apprenticeship Week. Let's get the bad news out of the way first. The Biden-Harris administration has taken steps that would destroy the apprenticeship model. Just look at the…

So, why are you unable to provide the basic information to those suffering from disasters in a timely fashion?

I want to associate myself with your opening statement. Also, I want to thank the thousands of Americans who responded to the destruction of Helene in the North Carolina mountains by donating everything you can imagine to people there.

FEMA appears to be plagued by poor decisionmaking and a serious lack of communication.

I am the kind of person who believes government of the people, by the people, and for the people, and I tolerate no discrimination of any kind.

Is it correct that FEMA delivered aid to the state then simply absolved itself from ensuring the aid actually reached the people it was intended to help?

I think it is very exciting that we are seeing this new approach to preparing people to teach by doing the things you are doing.

He describes ESG, and diversity, equity, and inclusion, DEI, as `` . . . among the most heinously anti-American management philosophies ever developed.'' This book amplifies the points we made when we passed our legislation last week. ESG…

I have long believed the most important work in schools happens at the State and local level.

The final frontier of the woke mind virus is the banks and capitalism themselves. They have already tarnished America's other institutions. Last week, House Republicans passed H.R. 5339, the Protecting Americans' Investments from Woke…

We are so proud to have you represent App State, and we appreciate all the support you have provided to educators, schools, and classrooms not only in North Carolina, but across the nation.

While we worked diligently to elect a Speaker of the House, there was confusion about when Members-elect officially become Members of Congress bestowed with the powers of the office to perform their duties.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 217, nays 206, not voting 8, as follows: [Roll No. 427]…
