Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H. Res. 212, a resolution I was proud to introduce earlier this week with Congressman Sorensen and Congresswoman Pettersen. My resolution is simple and opposes the 30 percent national sales tax plan proposed by several of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. A 30 percent sales tax would be a disaster for working families in my district who are already dealing with high prices of gas, exorbitant housing costs, and rising costs of living. It would hit seniors living on a fixed income especially hard. Mr. Speaker, the American people deserve more than mere messaging and performative politics over the next 2 years, and this plan is just that. I came to Congress to get things done, and I will work with anyone-- Democrats, Republicans, and Independents--to lower costs, simplify the Tax Code for the middle class, and tackle the most pressing kitchen table issues facing North Carolina families. ____________________”
