Madam Speaker, it is the honor of a lifetime to represent the people of North Carolina's 13th District. While we have seen chaos and confusion play out in this very Chamber over the past week, I want to make it clear that I am here to solve problems and not get caught up in politics as usual. It is important for the American people to know that there are adults in the room, and reasonable minds will prevail. I am committed to working across the aisle to do what is right for North Carolina. North Carolina's 13th District is one of the fastest growing districts in the country, and Congress needs to address the challenges that come with that growth. My constituents need their tax dollars to be used responsibly to improve roads and bridges. They need solutions that bring down the cost of housing and childcare. We need immigration reform that allows our economy to prosper. Madam Speaker, I support immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship for the undocumented immigrants known as the Dreamers, along with robust border security. From Apex to Goldsboro, my district has a diverse set of needs and priorities, and the time for action is now. ____________________
