This critical funding will invest in accessible health care, affordable housing, public safety projects, quality education, and more. “From Raleigh to Wendell, these projects address critical needs in Wake County and represent transformational investments in families, students, seniors, and more,” said Congresswoman Ross. “These projects were developed by the people of Wake County, for the people of Wake County. I fought for this funding because I know it will make a positive difference in our community. I look forward to working with local leaders and seeing how these projects will create tangible progress in Wake County.” Earlier this year, Congresswoman Ross secured $10.7 million in funding for Wake County community projects in the Fiscal Year 2022 government funding package. The 15 projects and funding in the Fiscal Year 2023 package are listed below. Community Projects Project Name: WakeMed Behavioral Health Hospital Amount Secured: $6,000,000 Description: WakeMed Health & Hospitals will use this funding to establish a behavioral health hospital that will help Wake County cope with the rising number of mental health and substance-use cases.

Murphy | M001210 | murphy.house.gov | murphy | https://murphy.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, President Biden signed into law the VETS Credit Act, which will help student veterans by ensuring they are able to quickly and easily transfer their course credits to another institution should their school close or program end suddenly. The bill, which was sponsored by Rep. Buchanan (FL-16), included Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D.’s (NC-03) bill that makes it easier for dependents of veterans or active-duty military to retain transferred Post-9/11 G.I. Bill benefits. Murphy issued the following statement: “Veterans across this nation earned their benefits with honorable military service to our country. With Rep. Buchanan’s VETS Credit Act signed into law, these benefits are guaranteed so that our servicemen and women returning home have easy access to a college education,” said Rep. Murphy. “I’m proud that my commonsense bill is included in the VETS Credit Act to ensure clerical errors do not prevent dependents from receiving well-earned educational assistance. This is a tremendous step for our outstanding military families. I’d like to thank Congressman Buchanan for including this essential piece of legislation in his bill and the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) for bringing it to my attention.” The VETS Credit Act passed the U.S. House earlier this year on May 17th, 2022 with broad bipartisan support by a vote of 412-1. It passed the U.S. Senate last week unanimously. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

H.R. 4250, the War Crimes Rewards Expansion Act, was signed into law: “For far too long, United States’ policy has elevated international tribunals over the work of national governments when prosecuting the world’s worst culprits: those engaging in genocide and war crimes. The International Criminal Court has recently utilized its time and resources in investigating the United States and Israel all while failing to hold our adversaries accountable. China’s genocidal campaign against the Uyghurs continues unabated, North Korea continues to engage in crimes against humanity with impunity, and ISIS fighters guilty of genocide continue to blend into populations without ever facing justice. The United States needs to end this reliance on international tribunals and display true leadership, and the reforms made by my bill will empower our government to do so. “By focusing our resources on prosecutions by national governments – including by utilizing U.S. laws already on the books – our government can track down perpetrators like members of ISIS swiftly and without the bureaucratic entanglements of international tribunals. I am immensely pleased to see my bill’s passage in the United States Senate and its subsequent signing into law. Without question, this bipartisan effort sends a robust, rock-ribbed message to the entire world: the United States is determined to protect its sovereignty and its interest with every tool necessary.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

On December 3rd, the substation was intentionally attacked leaving 45,000 customers without power. Utility workers restored power within a week, but an investigation into the attack is ongoing. "I thank the hardworking men and women at Duke Energy and other providers who worked around the clock to restore power to our community," said Rep. Hudson. "I surveyed the scene of the intentional attack on the substation and appreciate the work of all law enforcement investigating who is responsible. I am committed to finding solutions to strengthen our power grid and prevent a similar attack from happening again." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Murphy | M001210 | murphy.house.gov | murphy | https://murphy.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03) released a statement following his vote against the $1.7 trillion omnibus package. “America deserves pragmatic solutions to the myriad of self-inflicted crises we face today. Among these are the record cost of goods, a southern border invasion, the fentanyl overdose epidemic, and skyrocketing crime,” said Rep. Murphy. “Unfortunately, Democrats have engaged in reckless spending over actual solutions that address these crises. This omnibus package is a monstrous spending spree that fuels inflation and divisive gender identity politics. Americans don’t want 4,000-plus pages of left-wing projects; they want lower prices, cheap gas, a secure border, and a nation that’s safe.” Background: Just over 48 hours before the vote, Senate and House Democrats released their 4,000-plus page omnibus appropriations package that continues Washington’s out-of-control spending. Done behind closed doors, the newly elected House Republican majority was shut out of the negotiating process entirely. The House voted 225 –201 to pass the bill. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Ross | R000305 | ross.house.gov | ross | https://ross.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed Congresswomen Deborah Ross’ (NC-02) bipartisan legislation, the Unleashing American Innovators Act, to address disparities in the U.S. patent system and expand access to patents for underrepresented communities. In the Senate, this bill was led by Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Thom Tillis (R-NC). Along with Congresswoman Ross, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) co-led the bill in the House. Passed as part of the omnibus funding bill for Fiscal Year 2023, the legislation now heads to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law. Participation in the U.S. patent system doesn’t reflect the rich diversity of the American people, hindering American innovation and competitiveness. For example, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) found that only 21.9% of patents had at least one woman inventor in 2019. People of color and young inventors are underrepresented as well. This legislation will expand resources and outreach to groups that have historically been underrepresented in the patent system and American entrepreneurship, including by creating a new PTO satellite office in the Southeast. “I’m proud to represent much of the Research Triangle, a world-renowned hub for research and innovation,” said Congresswoman Ross. “Far too often, women, people of color, and veterans face unique barriers to participation in the patent system in North Carolina and beyond. We are a stronger and more prosperous nation when everyone – regardless of their race, gender, or zip code – can participate in our thriving innovation economy. I thank Senators Leahy and Tillis and Congresswoman Mace for working with me to pass this legislation, and I look forward to seeing it signed into law.” The Unleashing American Innovators Act: Requires the PTO’s satellite offices to conduct outreach to underrepresented groups to increase participation in the patent system; Requires the PTO to establish a new satellite office in the Southeast region and to study whether additional satellite offices a… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Murphy | M001210 | murphy.house.gov | murphy | https://murphy.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03) released the following statement after House Democrats moved to weaponize the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This comes on the heels of Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee releasing the former president’s tax returns: “House Democrats took blatant, politically motivated action on their way out the door and into the minority,” said Rep. Murphy. “Democrats are hiding behind a claim that this committee report, and subsequent legislation, are about the presidential audit process – If that were true, why do they feel the need to put a private citizen’s tax returns, which are in the process of being audited, out for public view without reference or chance of clarification. During the markup, Republicans offered to study said IRS audit programs, but Democrats all rejected the motion choosing politics over meaningful action. Congress has never publicly disclosed the full private tax returns of an individual, and their actions set a dangerous precedent.” Background: In 1976, Congress amended Section 6103 of the IRC to establish that federal tax return information is confidential by default unless a statute expressly authorizes disclosure. Section 6103 has never been used to disclose the full private tax returns of an individual. The 6103 inquiry must further a “legislative purpose” and not otherwise breach relevant constitutional rights or privileges. The Democrats’ proposed legislation is simply a means to an end to achieve political retribution. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Adams | A000370 | adams.house.gov | adams | https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. (December 21, 2022) – Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) has secured hundreds of millions of dollars for North Carolina priorities in the fiscal year 2023 omnibus. Victories include new programs to address HBCU & MSI research infrastructure and the maternal health crisis, as well as community project funding for the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, and Cabarrus County. A detailed summary of the bill is available here. “Congresswoman Adams really knocked it out of the park this time,” said District 5 Charlotte City Councilmember Marjorie Molina. Last week, Rep. Adams published an editorial in The Hill calling for the omnibus bill to address priorities for Black America, including making far-reaching investments in ending health disparities by race and tackling racial inequity in our education system. Victories for Historically Black Colleges & Universities “I am proud to have secured significant wins for Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the federal omnibus for Fiscal Year 2023,” said Congresswoman Alma Adams, founder and co-chair of the Congressional Bipartisan HBCU Caucus. “Among those victories are $50 million for HBCU, TCU, and MSI Research and Development Infrastructure Grants, a program originally included in the IGNITE HBCU Excellence Act. These planning and implementation grants are designed to promote transformational investments in research infrastructure at four-year HBCUs, TCUs, and other MSIs. However, the program is called IGNITE for a reason – this is only the starting point in making sure our schools have the resources and infrastructure to compete. “The omnibus agreement also includes year-over-year increases in funding for vital HBCU and MSI programs, as well as $10 million to establish a research network that is comprised of and supports MSIs to study health disparities in maternal health outcomes.

Hudson introduced this legislation alongside U.S. Congressman Andy Kim (D-NJ). “Fulfilling the promises made to our veterans from Fort Bragg and around the country is a top priority,” said Congressman Hudson. “That’s why I was proud to help pass the VA MISSION Act and expand the VA Caregiver Program to even more well-deserved veterans. I now look forward to advancing the bipartisan Veteran Caregiver Continuity Act to ensure veterans and caregivers who presently rely on the Caregiver Program will not lose their hard-earned benefits.” "There's nothing more important than honoring the promises we've made to our nation's veterans. I saw their sacrifices firsthand when I worked as a civilian advisor in warzones overseas. So when my office heard from constituent caregivers that the benefits they've been using to help care for loved ones that proudly wore the uniform could be taken away, I knew we had to act,” said Congressman Kim. “That's why I'm proud to join with Congressman Hudson to author a policy that protects veteran caregiver benefits and upholds the promise we made to our veterans and their families when they signed up to serve." The VA Caregiver Continuity Act would require the VA to permanently extend existing benefits for veterans who were enrolled in the Caregiver Program before September 2020 and who meet the VA’s Priority One Group criteria. Those who meet the VA’s Priority One Group criteria include veterans who (1) have a service-connected disability rating as 50% or more, (2) have a service-connected disability that the VA has concluded makes them unable to work, or (3) received the Medal of Honor. This legislation would also require the VA… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Murphy | M001210 | murphy.house.gov | murphy | https://murphy.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03) and House GOP Doctors Caucus colleagues led a letter to House leadership requesting support to mitigate impeding Medicare payment cuts for providers in end-of-year legislation. In the letter sent to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, the 83 co-signers stress the urgent need for bipartisan solutions for immediate relief and long-term physician payment reform to ensure robust access to patient care, especially in rural and underserved communities. Murphy, a practicing urologist, issued the following statement: “Any cuts to Medicare payments for physicians would be disastrous for health care providers, America’s seniors, and the nation at large,” said Murphy. “Impending Medicare payment reductions would force many providers to permanently close their doors, leaving countless patients without access to affordable, quality care. As a physician of more than 30 years, I cannot stress enough the urgency with which Congress must come together to provide certainty and stability to the Medicare physician payment system. There is simply no profession in the nation that deals with such perennial cuts. I urge House leadership on both sides of the aisle to take immediate action to secure short-and long-term solutions to ensure the stability and continued success of the Medicare program.” Read the full GOP Doctors Caucus letter HERE. More than 160 national and state medical and health care organizations support Congressional action to halt Medicare Payment Cuts, including: The American Medical Association, The American Medical Group Association, The American College of Surgeons, The American College of Emergency Physicians, and The American Health Care Association. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

(December 14, 2022) – Earlier this morning, Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) delivered remarks in honor of retiring Representatives David Price (NC-04) and G. K. Butterfield (NC-01). Video of the remarks is available onC-SPAN, on YouTube, and for download. Rep. Adams’ remarks as prepared: I rise today to honor two outstanding North Carolinians and my colleagues who are retiring from the U.S. House of Representatives, the Honorable G. K. Butterfield for 18 years of service, and the Honorable David Price for 34 years. These gentlemen have given a total of 52 years of service to our state and our nation, for which we are indeed grateful. True statesman, Butterfield and Price have been invaluable members of Congress and have served with incredible distinction. Well respected, admired, and loved by colleagues here in Congress, and revered by citizens back home, they each have made their life’s work all about service. Having known each of them for a very long time, I have appreciated the opportunity to learn from then and to work with each of them in North Carolina and here in Congress. Service has been their legacy as it is the rent we pay for living. Together, these incredible members have kept their rent fully paid up throughout their careers in North Carolina, and in this Congress. Both scholars and men of enormous intellect, Price and Butterfield have been leaders in their communities, and they have used their expertise on and off Capitol Hill to interrupt injustice and ignorance. Our resident historian, G. K. Butterfield, who serves on Energy & Commerce, worked as a civil rights lawyer, a trial judge, a Superior Court judge, and served in the North Carolina Supreme Court. Retired teacher and distinguished professor David Price led numerous Congressional missions abroad during his three decades on the Hill, and he has been influential in his committee work on Appropriations. Both have been personal mentors and friends to me, and impactful advisors who I will truly miss. Thank you Congre… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

"Throughout my time in Congress, I have fought to secure pavement of roads in the Uwharrie National Forest to protect public safety and grow the economy in our region. I am grateful that a draft decision has finally been issued to improve the dangerous road conditions in Uwharrie," said Rep. Hudson. "This decision will help to improve the lives of all those who call the Uwharrie National Forest home, while also preserving the natural beauty and integrity of this national treasure. I will continue to support this draft plan as a final decision is made." This draft decision follows the conclusion of Uwharrie Ranger District's Environmental Assessment (EA) which concluded that the Uwharrie Road Project posed no significant impact on the forest, thus allowing the proposed pavement project to move forward. If the decision is finalized, multiple areas, including Moccasin Creek Road (NFSR 576) through the Dutch John Trailhead on Dutch John Road (NFSR 553), will be paved to NCDOT standards. Additionally, NFSR 553 south of the Dutch John Trailhead parking lot will have turnouts installed where sensitive resources can be avoided. This project is subject to the pre-decisional objection process pursuant to 36 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) §218 Subparts A and B. This objection process lasts 45 days and began December 8, 2022. Objections, including attachments, must be filed electronically at US Forest Service NEPA Projects Home (usda.gov). All objections are available for public inspection during and after the objection process. Rep. Hudson has been a vocal proponent of paving the roadways in the Uhwarrie National Forest since 2014, when as a Member of the Agriculture Committee, Hudson was successful in getting the Agriculture Secretary and U.S. Forest Service to agree to repair damaged roads there. … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Adams in The Hill: “Congress has unfinished business for Black America” | 2022-12-12 | 2022 | 2022-12 | Democrat | House | NC | Alma S. Adams | A000370 | adams.house.gov | adams | https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. (December 9, 2022) – The Hill published an opinion piece by Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) entitled “3 proposals Congress can pass to fulfill Biden’s promises to Black America.” In the editorial, Rep. Adams stresses the importance of passing a minimum wage increase, the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act, and the IGNITE HBCU, TCU, and MSI Excellence Act. Rep. Adams writes: The 117th Congress has unfinished business for Black America. In 2020, President Biden ran and won on a platform that included advancing the economic mobility of African Americans and closing racial wealth and income gaps; making far-reaching investments in ending health disparities by race; and tackling racial inequity in our education system. We can make big, bipartisan progress on these issues before the end of Congress, but it’s up to us to act. … The IGNITE Act would create a federal grant program for infrastructure at HBCUs, tribal colleges and universities (TCUs), and other minority serving institutions (MSIs) including Hispanic serving institutions (HSIs) and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). The grants can be used to improve infrastructure for these schools, including maintenance of historic buildings, new technology and classrooms, or improved security for students and staff. The IGNITE Act is supported by the Congressional Tri-Caucus, composed of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Congressional Black Caucus, and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus. Our legislation is co-sponsored by 200 Democrats and 20 Republicans, and the Senate companion of the bill also has bipartisan support. In fact, the legislation builds on our FUTURE Act legislation, which President Trump signed into law. Unfortunately, the most recent major funding package for HBCUs and MSIs — a proposed $3 billion — was also part of the stalled Build Back Better bill. This is our last, best chance to pass the IGNITE Act and fulfill our promises to the American people. The full piece… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

(December 8, 2022) – Today, Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) voted to send the Respect for Marriage Act to President Biden’s desk. This landmark legislation defends marriage equality by officially repealing the bigoted and unconstitutional “Defense of Marriage Act” (DOMA), upholding couples’ right to equal protection under federal law, and requiring states to recognize valid out-of-state marriages. “Today, I proudly voted for marriage equality. Our Democratic Congress is fighting to honor the dignity and equality of every American,” said Rep. Adams. “The Respect for Marriage Act sends a clear signal that hate and bigotry have no place in our public square, or our government institutions. This bill will uphold marriage equality under federal law by ending DOMA, enshrining same-sex and mixed-race married couples’ 14th Amendment right to equal protection, and barring rogue officials from invalidating out-of-state marriages. While we still have a ways to go to protect the health, safety, and dignity of all LGBTQ Americans, this is a major step forward. As the Dobbs decision has shown us, we can’t sleep on Equality.” Background Since the Republican-appointed Supreme Court’s deeply unpopular Dobbs decision, state-level Republicans across the country have set their sights on other basic personal freedoms. In his concurring opinion, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas explicitly called for the Court to reconsider its Obergefell decision upholding marriage equality. The Respect for Marriage Act will take several steps to protect the inviolability of same-sex and interracial marriages: Repealing the “Defense of Marriage Act”: While the Supreme Court has effectively voided DOMA, this unconstitutional and discriminatory federal law still remains on the books. The Respect for Marriage Act will repeal this statute once and for all.

Hudson. "I will always work to support our troops and their families, as well as to protect our fundamental rights as Americans." Rep. Hudson supported the legislation, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives today by a vote of 350-80. The bill must now be passed by the U.S. Senate before being signed into law. Rep.

Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03), a urological surgeon and member of the House Ways and Means Committee, issued a statement regarding the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released proposed ruleto enhance the coordination of care between providers, improve transparency surrounding insurer practices, and streamline prior authorizations. The rule closely aligns with the Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act which passed the U.S. House of Representatives with overwhelming support in September 2022. “This rule is a step in the right direction, and a true win for health care providers and patients across the nation,” said Rep. Murphy. “As a practicing surgeon, I cannot tell you how many times I have been forced to delay critical patient care because of a broken bureaucratic process that limits physicians’ resources, harms patients, and only benefits insurance companies. I am often at odds with many rules that CMS puts out but, in this case, this is the government working well for patient care. I hope that if this rule is enacted, our nation’s insurance companies will comply with the regulations.” “This CMS proposed rule makes overdue improvements to prior authorization, but Congress must do more to allow for real time decision-making among physicians. The Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act would do just that by establishing an electronic prior authorization program for Medicare Advantage (MA) plans to allow for rapid coordination of patient needs among providers, streamline care, and improve patient access to medical services and treatments. More must be done to eliminate the burden of red tape in medicine and elevate health care outcomes for seniors, and I urge my colleagues to pass the Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act this year,” Murphy concluded. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03), the proud representative of over 50,000 active duty servicemembers and 89,000 veterans in Eastern North Carolina, released a statement regarding the elimination of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate in the FY2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). At the direction of the Biden Administration, the Department of Defense (DOD) has discharged 3,300 Marines, 1,800 soldiers, 1,800 sailors, and 900 airmen for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine. “For almost two years, we have been fighting to repeal the vaccine mandate for active service members. It has had devastating consequences on the retention and recruitment of America’s finest warfighters,” said Rep. Murphy. “While as a physician I realize the importance of having our forces healthy to defend this nation, it is unconscionable that members of our military, many of whom have served valiantly for years, have been forced out despite medical and religious reasons for not wanting to be vaccinated.” “The impact of the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate has been far reaching, as the Army and Navy missed their recruitment goals in 2022. While this repeal will bring relief to many in our U.S. Armed Forces, we must go further to reenlist those who were discharged for not taking the vaccine and hold the Biden Administration accountable for this damaging, politically targeted ploy at the expense of America’s heroes,” Murphy concluded. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Harper and released the following statement: “This is the bottom line: Moore v. Harper puts in jeopardy the future of free and fair elections – not just in my home state of North Carolina, but in every single state. The notion that state legislatures should be immune from judicial oversight of state election law is antithetical to the fundamental promise of our democracy. The arguments I heard today only reinforce this belief. I believe our democracy is worth fighting for.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

I thank all law enforcement, utility workers, first responders, health care providers, and businesses working to support Moore County. As the investigation proceeds to bring those responsible to justice, I will continue to help direct resources to those in need." As families, businesses, health care providers, and schools in Moore County continue to endure the effects of the county-wide blackout, Rep.

Adams | A000370 | adams.house.gov | adams | https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON (December 5, 2022) – Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) has introduced the Protecting Wages of Essential Workers Act of 2022. The Protecting Wages Act will protect $1,000 or 75 percent, whichever is greater, of take-home earnings per week from seizure and index that net amount annually based on inflation. Text of the bill is available here. “Wage garnishment can push a family into poverty when they’re struggling to make ends meet,” said Adams. “The Protecting Wages Act will give families more time to pay their debts, while helping small businesses. An essential worker shouldn’t have to go hungry or even be fired because their wages are being garnished, and a small business owner shouldn’t have to act as both employer and debt collector. The Protecting Wages Act takes a big step forward by addressing wage garnishment’s most predatory effects.” Adams serves as chair of the House Education & Labor Committee’s Subcommittee on Workforce Protection. The legislation is endorsed by both the Center for Responsible Lending and the National Consumer Law Center (on behalf of its low-income clients). “Systematic racism continues to play a role in perpetuating cycles of poverty in communities of color,” said Lucia Mattox, director of western states outreach and senior policy associate at the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL). “People of color are more likely to be contacted by debt collectors and to be impacted by lawsuits resulting in wage garnishment. Until we modernize federal law to improve protections for consumers, the racial wealth gap will continue to deepen, and Americans will continue struggling to pay for necessities like food, rent and childcare." “Debt collectors should not be allowed to push working people into poverty or grab the funds people need for necessities to support their families,” said Michael Best, staff attorney at NCLC. “Debt collectors also can’t be allowed to take us back to the days of debtors’ prisons.” Background For decades, federal law has protected a base amount from wage… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Greg Murphy, M.D., Virginia Foxx, Kat Cammack, Burgess Owens, and Mariannette Miller-Meeks held the second annual Congressional Campus Free Speech Roundtable in the U.S. Capitol. The event brought together leaders from the Young America’s Foundation (YAF), the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), current college students, and members of the Alumni Free Speech Alliance (AFSA) to discuss First Amendment concerns in post-secondary education. Video playback of the event can be found HERE. “Now that the American people have entrusted Republicans with the House majority, it’s more important than ever that we make First Amendment protections a top priority,” said Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D. (R-NC). “I was proud to lead today’s roundtable event to outline free speech concerns among students, faculty, stakeholders, and alumni in higher education, and discuss how Congress can help safeguard students’ First Amendment rights on college and university campuses. The free exchange of ideas is the hallmark of a post-secondary education, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to protect the freedom of speech for generations of students to come.” “It was an honor to join Rep. Murphy for his second Campus Free Speech Roundtable and I appreciate his dedication to protecting our First Amendment rights,” said Education and Labor Committee Republican Leader Virginia Foxx (R-NC). “As a former educator, I made it a point to help students learn how to think—not what to think. Unfortunately, too many colleges and universities now care more about creating conformity of thought instead of promoting freedom of thought. However, I was encouraged to hear from the brave students and others on the frontlines of this fight and I look forward to working with these free-speech warriors in the coming Congress.” “Thanks to Dr. Murphy and my colleagues and other attendees for their participation this morning,” said Rep.

Terri Sewell (AL-07), Jodey Arrington (TX-19), and Raul Ruiz (CA-36), led 116 House colleagues in a bipartisan letter this week urging House leadership to bring H.R. 1946 to the Floor for a vote during the remainder of the 117th Congress. The Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act would create a pathway for Medicare to cover emerging blood-based cancer screenings which hold the potential to detect cancer earlier than ever before. Rep. Hudson introduced H.R. 1946 in March 2021. With 257 House co-sponsors and 54 Senate co-sponsors, it enjoys the support of a bipartisan majority of the House and Senate and over 400 organizations across the nation. "No family in America has been spared the scourge of cancer," the Members write. "Indeed, for our nation’s seniors, the burden of cancer is highest, with more than 70% of all cancer deaths happening in the Medicare population. We must bring urgency and action to our fight against this terrible disease because the consequences of waiting are too great. We respectfully urge you to bring this bill to the floor this year and pave the way for a future where we win our war on cancer." Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. However, detecting cancer early can result in less invasive treatments, reduced costs, and most importantly, better outcomes for patients. Fortunately, scientists are developing and testing innovative blood-based multi-cancer early detection tests that can screen for many cancers at the same time, including rare cancers. The companies engaged in multi-cancer screening have both received breakthrough device designation for their tests and are pursuing FDA approval. Unfortunately, under current law, it could take several years after FDA approval before Medicare beneficiaries could receive coverage for such tests. The Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act responds to a misalignment between advances in science and… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

The Students’ Access to Freedom & Educational Rights Act (SAFER) Act would amend the burdensome standards for harassment lawsuits brought under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) and create additional protections for students who experience sex-based harassment. As standards for workplace sexual assault lawsuits have become less onerous, court rulings have increased the burden on young people seeking justice. The SAFER Act aims to repair years of damage to Title IX, including court rulings and actions by the Trump Administration to strip away many protections for student sexual assault survivors. Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and Mazie Hirono (D-HI) introduced the legislation in the Senate. “We must do more to address the epidemic of sexual assault and harassment that has plagued our campuses for far too long,” said Congresswoman Ross. “Students who have endured unspeakable trauma should not face unnecessary and burdensome hurdles that prevent them from reporting their abuse and seeking justice. I’m honored to join Representatives Hayes and Dingell as well as Senators Casey and Hirono in introducing this important legislation. I look forward to continuing our work to protect student survivors.” “So many students who endure sexual harassment or assault experience isolation, fear, and difficulty focusing on their education as they process a traumatic ordeal. To add insult to injury, students who report their experiences face an uphill battle to seek justice,” said Senator Casey. “We cannot go backwards. School should be a safe place, from early education all the way to institutions of higher learning. The SAFER Act would protect the civil rights of students across the country and help them feel safe and supported as they pursue their e… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

In Congress, I’m proud to support legislation and appropriations to continue to help people living with AIDS, educate people about HIV, and stop the spread of this virus.” Congresswoman Adams is a member of the Congressional HIV/AIDS Caucus, and has worked in Congress to secure federal grants to help North Carolinians living with HIV, increase HIV prevention funding, and sponsor common-sense sex education legislation that would lower the incidence of STIs, including HIV.

Along with Hudson, Representatives Steve Cohen (D-TN), Joe Wilson (R-SC), and Marc Veasey (D-TX) are original sponsors of the bill. Senators Roger Wicker (R-MS) and Ben Cardin (D-MD) are original sponsors of companion legislation in the U.S. Senate. "The Wagner Group is a threat to the interests and security of the United States, our allies, and its partners," said Rep. Hudson. "We must hold those responsible for perpetrating Putin’s war against Ukraine and atrocities elsewhere accountable. Designating this mercenary group a Foreign Terrorist Organization will send a strong message to those in Russia and all who seek to do harm across the world." "Where the Wagner Group operates, atrocities follow. The HARM Act will identify Putin’s private mercenary group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and let the world know that its activities are both malign and illegal. It’s time to shine some light on this notorious group and give it the detestable reputation it deserves," said Rep. Cohen. "For too long the Wagner Group has been engaging in nefarious atrocities around the globe, all at the behest of war criminal Putin and his cronies.

Murphy | M001210 | murphy.house.gov | murphy | https://murphy.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03) released the following statement in response to the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) misguided final rule, which would allow retirement plan managers to prioritize so-called environmental, social, governance (ESG) plan investments over their long-standing duty to protect the financial interests of workers and retirees: “This final rule proves once again that the Biden administration prioritizes political virtue signaling over safeguarding investment options for retirement savings,” said Rep. Murphy. “This politically motivated final rule is more evidence that we need legislation that includes an enforcement action under Title II of ERISA to protect hardworking Americans.” “Employers and advisors have a fiduciary responsibility to maximize returns for American workers and families,” Rep. Murphy continued. “Congress cannot allow President Biden’s liberal agenda to derail investment returns for seniors and savers. It’s no wonder the Biden Administration buried this announcement during the Thanksgiving holiday.” Background: The Biden administration’s final rule rolls back a Trump-era amendment to ERISA which previously banned employers and advisors from considering any factors other than financial performance considerations when evaluating assets for a retirement portfolio. In October 2022, Rep. Murphy introduced the Safeguarding Investment Options for Retirement Act to prevent ‘woke’ ESG factors from dictating investment returns. The legislation would impose strict enforcement measures to ensure the administration’s ESG priorities do not hinder Americans’ retirement savings. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |

Along with Rep. Hudson, Representatives Dean Phillips (D-MN) and Gwen Moore (D-WI) serve as original cosponsors on the legislation. "As Fort Bragg’s Congressman, I believe our country owes a tremendous debt to the surviving spouses of fallen servicemembers,” said Rep. Hudson. “It takes great courage to pick up the pieces and move on. Therefore, we must ensure that surviving spouses can continue to move forward, free from the fear of losing the benefits owed to them through their late spouse’s military sacrifice." “It’s vital that our country takes care of all surviving spouses of military service members, which is why I am so pleased to join my colleagues in this bipartisan effort," said Rep. Moore. "Our bill, the Love Lives On Act, will make important changes to current policies for surviving spouses, ensuring more can access crucial benefits.” “As a Gold Star Son, my gratitude to our servicemembers and their families is immeasurable,” said Rep. Phillips. “We always seem to find enough resources to send our men and women in uniform into harm’s way, but we must ensure the families of those who do not return are given equal priority. Gold Star Spouses make unimaginable sacrifices and deserve unending respect and support. The Love Lives On Act is part of my mission to ensure our Gold Star Families have access every single benefit they are owed, and I’m grateful to colleagues on both sides of the aisle for backing it.” Background: Currently, a surviving spouse is at risk of losing survivor benefits if they are under the age of 55. The Love Lives On Act would ensure retention of many benefits from both the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense upon remarriage no matter the surviving spouse's age. The bill includes surviving spouses of active-duty, veteran, and retired military pers… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:24:37Z |

While I am not happy about the results in every race, I accept the results of the election, and encourage my fellow Americans to do the same - though some results may take longer than others. A cornerstone of American democracy is supporting our entire country whether or not our partisan side was victorious in the election; as President Lincoln once said, ‘We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.’ “I am proud of what we have accomplished under two years of President Biden‘s leadership, and I am excited to work for the residents of the 12th Congressional District for the rest of the 117th Congress, and after the new Congress is sworn in in January. Going forward, we will likely have to work together as a divided government. As the most senior of the seven Democratic members of North Carolina’s delegation in the 118th Congress, I will continue to work with both sides of the aisle on our district’s priorities. “The Charlotte region’s greatest challenges - including housing, hunger, healthcare, higher education and the economy - are not partisan issues. There is much that we can and must accomplish together. I encourage everyone to take the passionate intensity they have felt today and over the past few weeks, and re-commit it in the pursuit of justice for all Americans. The work is not over, and I will continue to give my all for every resident of the 12th Congressional District in Congress.” Background The current Congress will return to the Capitol next week to finish the work of the 117th Congress.

I am immensely pleased to have two stalwart Republican leaders, Representative Mayra Flores, and Representative Greg Steube, co-lead this vital legislation. Their commitment to upholding law and order, and to protect every American citizen, is highly commendable.” “It’s important that victims of crime, committed by illegal immigrants, know that state and federal resources are with them in their time of need,” said Representative Flores. “I want victims to concentrate and prioritize their recovery and I thank my colleagues for helping me tackle this issue head-on.” “For the safety of our nation and its citizens, we must address the rising crime due to Democrats’ open border policies. That starts with accurate reporting and transparency so the American people can see for themselves the extent of crimes committed by illegal aliens,” said Representative Steube. “Equally as important, the Justice for Victims of Open Borders Act will ensure support is available for victims of violent crimes committed by illegal aliens.” Background The Justice for Victims of Open Borders Act is a viable solution to address the influx of illegal aliens and rising crime due to open border policies – two issues that the federal government, and especially President Biden, have failed to address.

While former acting Attorney General Sally Yates’ investigation revealed systemic abuse and harassment rampant in the league, the lawmakers are calling on USSF not only to cooperate with the joint investigation but also to outline concrete plans to prevent future abuse. One year ago, Congresswoman Ross led a similar group of lawmakers in calling for an initial investigation following a series of disturbing reports of abuse and harassment faced by NWSL players. “Until individuals experiencing abuse feel comfortable coming forward with complaints or concerns to those in positions of authority, the systemic misconduct described in the report will continue. Only receptiveness to institutional flaws will lead to institutional improvement,” the Members wrote. The Members continued, “It is obviously unacceptable that players have been subjected to this level of systemic abuse in professional women’s soccer. These exceptional athletes have the right to practice and play the sport they love without threats, coercion, or abuse. The investigation is an important step forward in ensuring women athletes have the protections they deserve, but the work does not stop here… The sport and the league are clearly in need of systemic reform, and this investigation by the U.S. Soccer Federation, as well as the joint NWSL-NWSLPA investigation, will provide critical insights into the changes required to ensure our athletes can safely continue to bring pride to our nation.” The Yates report revealed information about the working environment of the NWSL and in women’s soccer generally, including abuse that often begins in youth soccer programs.

The letter also calls for a pattern-of-practice investigation of the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office, which has received multiple allegations of racial bias in recent years. Congresswoman Ross represents Shaw University in Congress. “Shaw University, an HBCU in Raleigh, North Carolina, had chartered a bus to drive these students to the Center for Financial Advancement Conference in Atlanta. On October 5th, their bus was pulled over for a minor traffic violation in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. At this point, multiple deputies and drug-sniffing dogs searched the belongings of the students and staff in the vehicle. No illicit materials were found, and the students were left unnerved, confused, and humiliated. We are deeply troubled by this unfounded search of Shaw students,” the Members wrote. The Members continued, “To that end, we reiterate support for a DOJ investigation into this incident and any systemic patterns of misconduct by the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office… We believe transparency and accountability are necessary for ensuring justice for the Shaw students directly involved in the incident, as well as the larger Shaw and Raleigh communities.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |

Currently, only 12% of the nation’s police officers are women, a number that has remained largely unchanged for more than 25 years. Women are often hindered by outdated hiring processes that focus on physical strength and force. Additionally, research shows that hiring more women could have a positive effect on police performance. “Police officers put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe, and it’s critical that we invest in their success,” said Congresswoman Ross. “Our law enforcement agencies are stronger when their officers reflect the people and the communities they serve. We need to give our local police departments the resources they need to recruit and retain the best and brightest talent, including women. Wake County is leading the nation with three outstanding female police chiefs, and the Supporting Women COPS Act is an important step forward to building on this progress across all levels of law enforcement. I look forward to working with Congressman O’Halleran to advance this important legislation.” “As a former law enforcement officer, I saw firsthand the barriers to success my women colleagues faced as they sought to protect and serve their communities,” said Congressman O’Halleran. “These brave, hardworking officers deserve fair hiring processes, pay, and treatment as they strive to keep families safe and better represent the Americans they serve.

In their letter, the Congressmen demand clear answers to address the Administration's failure to prepare for a potentially devastating crisis. "While the Biden administration has decided to devote considerable attention to the emerging, yet rare, monkeypox outbreak, I am deeply concerned about recent reports regarding the impact of these efforts on our nation’s supply of smallpox vaccines," said Rep. Hudson. "As a leader on strengthening our strategic national stockpile and preparing our nation for future pandemics and biological threats, I am proud to join with Rep. Issa in holding the Biden administration accountable to ensure all Americans are protected from smallpox and other potential health security threats. Particularly with recent nuclear and biological threats coming from abroad, the Administration must provide answers and a plan to be prepared." "Every presidential administration owes the American people its absolute best when it comes to protecting the homeland and adequately preparing for the crises we know can occur. By any objective measure, this is a test the Biden Administration has failed," said Rep. Issa. "By not making it a priority to wisely manage our emergency supply of critical smallpox vaccines, the Biden Administration has ignored the obvious lessons of the last pandemic, failed a core responsibility of governance, and put the nation at risk. That’s why Rep. Hudson and I are demanding the facts and insisting on solutions. We certainly haven’t gotten either one so far."

The report raises alarming questions about the nature and operations of the PRC police service stations, which “eschew official bilateral judicial cooperation and violate the international rule of law and may violate the territorial integrity in third countries involved in setting up a parallel policing mechanism using illegal methods,” the members continue. At the conclusion of their letter, the members ask the following questions: Since the release of the Safeguard Defense report, has the State Department or Justice Department taken any action, investigative or otherwise, with respect to the PRC’s overseas police service station in New York City?

The legislation aims to protect investors from having politically motivated ‘woke’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues put ahead of hardworking Americans’ investment returns. “The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) is supposed to protect retirement investment plans by requiring plan managers to be subject to fiduciary responsibilities,” said Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D. “However, the Biden administration’s proposed changes to ERISA abandon fiduciary responsibility by allowing ‘woke’ ESG factors to dictate investment returns – putting Americans’ retirement savings at risk. Our commonsense legislation would impose strict enforcement measures to ensure that ‘woke’ Biden policies do not hinder Americans’ retirement savings. I am grateful to Republican Attorney Generals across the nation who are fighting back against the Biden administration’s radical policies and leading the charge against ESG at the state level.” “We need to do everything we can to not let this radical woke agenda derail the fiduciary obligations of plans to protect the hard-earned retirement savings of Americans,” said West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey. “This bill would put in critical guard rails to prevent far left schemes from robbing people of the full returns on their investments that they deserve.

This new law will increase access to affordable, quality health care in rural and underserved communities by allowing community health centers to use New Access Point (NAP) grants for establishing mobile health units. This was Hudson's twenty-first bill to pass the House this Congress and the ninth to be signed into law. "The MOBILE Health Care Act is critical for improving health care quality and access across our country," said Rep. Hudson. "I am proud this bill has been signed into law and will continue working to deliver commonsense results like this that improve our community, state, and nation." Along with Rep.

Ross | R000305 | ross.house.gov | ross | https://ross.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | On behalf of Representatives Deborah Ross (NC-02) and David Price (NC-04), the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform sent a letter to U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Postmaster General Louis DeJoy seeking information on the poor delivery service in North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park (RTP). The letter follows an initial request made by Representatives Ross and Price in August 2022. After decades of growth, RTP has become the largest research park in the United States, with 60,000 employees from 300 companies spread across 7,000 acres of land. Yet, despite its vast size and economic impact, RTP relies on a single U.S. Post Office that does not offer basic services, including delivery, to the RTP area. “North Carolinians depend on fast, reliable mail delivery—from getting important medications to exercising their right to vote,” said Congresswoman Ross. “As one of the fastest growing areas in the country and a major economic engine for the region, the Research Triangle Park needs speedy, efficient mail service to ensure we meet the needs of our businesses and constituents. I thank Congressman Price for working with me to ensure the post office on Alexander Drive has the resources it needs to keep up with growth in RTP, and I appreciate Chairman Connolly’s work elevating this issue. I look forward to the Postmaster General’s response.” “The Research Triangle Park is a key driver of economic growth in our region, but lacks the postal infrastructure needed to keep up with the demand,” said Congressman Price. “As the members representing this region, Congresswoman Ross and I will continue to work to solidify consistent mail service for our constituents in North Carolina, and applaud Chairman Gerry Connolly's attention to this issue.” “There are 400 companies in RTP that employ 60,000 North Carolina residents,” said Scott Levitan, President & CEO of the Research Triangle Foundation. “The Research Triangle Foundation of NC is building a $2B town center, HUB RTP, that will house over 2,500 new residents.

Murphy | M001210 | murphy.house.gov | murphy | https://murphy.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Greenville, N.C. – Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D. published an opinion piece in the North State Journal detailing the House Republican “Commitment to America” policy agenda. Murphy argues that when Republicans retake the House majority, the GOP will fight for an economy that is strong, a nation that is safe, a future that is free, and a government that is accountable. Read the full op-ed HERE or click below. Dr. Greg Murphy: A Republican Path Forward October 13, 2022 Under Democrats’ one-party control of Washington, our economy is in the gutter; the cost of groceries, gasoline, and everyday services have skyrocketed; crime is surging; and the southern border is wide open. House Republicans have a bold, conservative agenda to reverse President Biden’s self-inflicted crises and get our nation back on track. An Economy that is Strong President Biden’s reckless spending has caused inflation to skyrocket from 1.4 percent to a record 8.3 percent in less than two years. As a result, millions of hardworking American families are suffering under 40-year record high inflation – and the average family is spending $717 more each month to buy the same goods and services as last year. House Republicans will build an economy that is strong. That means reducing wasteful government spending, cutting taxes, and unleashing American innovation. Our plan would also require the Biden Administration to embrace an all-of-the-above energy approach to reduce our dependency on foreign nations and power our economy with American-made energy. Reestablishing American energy independence will go a long way to improve access to secure, reliable energy and lower costs for American families. A Nation that is Safe Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies have caused violent crime to surge across America. This year, homicide rates have increased by roughly 50 percent, and aggravated assaults have increased by 39 percent since 2019. What’s worse, the ‘defund the police’ movement has put our brave law enforcement officers in danger – and intentional killing… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |

"Judge Gilchrist's ruling is outrageous. Even if you agree with the Judge's perspective on masks, Hahn should have never been arrested. There are other ways it could have been handled," said Rep. Hudson. Hahn, a reported Navy veteran and single father, was jailed for 24 hours for not wearing a mask during an appearance for jury duty, despite no mask mandate existing in North Carolina, Harnett County, or the Lillington courthouse.

Rep. Hudson's bipartisan legislation recently passed the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate and will allow community health centers to expand access to care in rural and underserved areas. "Community health centers are critical for ensuring the health and wellbeing of folks across our region. I am proud that my bipartisan MOBILE Health Care Act was approved by Congress and will soon help centers like the one I toured today provide affordable, quality health care by allowing them to use New Access Point grants for establishing mobile health units," said Rep. Hudson. "Thank you to the National and North Carolina Community Health Center Associations for their support and I look forward to building on this legislation to help provide a healthier, happier future for all Americans." The MOBILE Health Care Act was approved by the House last month and will soon travel to President Joe Biden’s desk to be signed into law. For North Carolina’s 43 total community health centers and the nearly 750,000 patients they serve across 400 clinical locations, this bill will help them to expand their services to meet patients’ current and future needs. H.R. 5141 was supported by the North Carolina Community Health Center Association, Cabarrus Rowan Community Health Centers, Inc., and Community Free Clinic in Concord. This is in addition to the National Association of Community Health Centers, National Rural Health Association, American Dental Association, and National Health Care for the Homeless Council. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |

Notably, Howard University has received eight bomb threats, including two recently within the same week. Bomb threats should not be a normal part of the campus experience. … As the co-chairs of the Congressional HBCU Caucus, we are concerned that the ongoing nature of these threats may and embolden others who wish to do these schools, and their students, harm. We look forward to continuing to work with you to ensure institutions receive timely and relevant communications to ensure school leaders and law-enforcement officials have all they need to keep safe as you work expeditiously to identify those responsible.” Background: Since January 2022, approximately one-third of all HBCUs in the United States experienced bomb threats.

"The MOBILE Health Care Act is critical to improve health care quality and access across our country, especially in rural and underserved areas," said Rep. Richard Hudson. "I thank Representatives Susie Lee, Raul Ruiz, and Jaime Herrera Beutler for their dedicated bipartisan partnership on this bill.

Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03) published an opinion piece in the Washington Examiner highlighting President Biden's systematic abuse of power under the guise of the Public Health Emergency. Read the full op-ed HERE or see text below. End the 'Public Health Emergency' and Biden's abuse of authority By Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D. September 29, 2022 The Trump administration succeeded in deploying the Public Health Emergency in 2020 as an effective and genuine policy response to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The Public Health Emergency, first declared by the secretary of health and human services on Jan. 31, 2020, granted various authorities to the executive branch in response to COVID-19. Unfortunately, what began as a necessary and steadfast policy measure under President Donald Trump has devolved into an unprecedented, dictatorial abuse of power under the Biden administration. The Trump administration effectively used the Public Health Emergency executive powers to lead the world in the fight against COVID-19, forge an unprecedented public-private partnership to fund the development of therapeutics, and safeguard healthcare workers. There was a time and a place for such executive power, as with any catastrophic event. Contrast this with today. More than two and a half years later, COVID-19 has been in an endemic phase for many months, with high vaccination rates, decreasing hospitalizations, and plummeting death rates. Yet President Joe Biden has nonetheless continued the Public Health Emergency long past its first designated course. Biden's reason for this is not about science — it's about opportunities to abuse power. The Biden administration has routinely weaponized the PHE to overstep his constitutional authority — from his illegal extension of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's eviction moratorium to his unscientific forced masking requirements and vaccine mandates. The U.S. Supreme Court has already correctly ruled against Biden on both the CDC eviction moratorium a… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Miller-Meeks, M.D. "Our legislation will ensure the Department of Health and Human Services is reviewing medical device interoperability to offer patients top notch care in an efficient manner. As a physician and former Iowa Director of Public Health, I understand the importance of maintaining high medical standards and I will continue my efforts to provide patients with the best possible care." "As medical technology continues to improve, we must ensure that Congress understands the full risks associated with these developments in order to provide bipartisan solutions to address them," said Rep.

Ross | R000305 | ross.house.gov | ross | https://ross.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Today, Congresswoman Deborah Ross (NC-02) released a new report that shows historic economic growth and lowered costs for residents of North Carolina’s Second Congressional District thanks to a number of laws that she helped pass, including the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS and Science Act, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and American Rescue Plan. “Since coming to Congress, I’ve fought for policies that will improve the lives of people in Wake County,” said Congresswoman Ross. “In just two years, we have enacted new laws that have helped North Carolinians recover from the pandemic, rebuild, and thrive. These bills reach people from every walk of life – from seniors struggling to afford health care to small business owners trying to keep their doors open. I’m proud of everything that we have accomplished and will keep fighting for legislation that invests in the well-being and success of our people.” The new report from the Joint Economic Committee shows: 27,900 jobs and 1,700 manufacturing jobs have been created in NC-02 since President Biden came into office. In 2021, 40,000 workers in NC-02 were employed in clean energy and emerging sectors of the economy, and an additional 49,000 worked in occupations that will be increasingly in demand as the United States transitions to cleaner, more secure energy. 16,300 applications to start a new business were filed in NC-02 in 2021, up from an average of 8,800 per year pre-pandemic. 61,000 people in NC-02 will maintain access to affordable health care coverage. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

"Under President Biden and one-party rule in Washington, families can't afford groceries, utility bills, or gas, crime has reached the highest rates in decades, and nearly 5 million migrants and record amounts of fentanyl have illegally crossed our border. The American people deserve better," said Rep. Hudson. "Democrats don't have a plan, but House Republicans do. Our Commitment to America lays out a detailed plan to secure an economy that's strong, a nation that's safe, a future built on freedom, and a government that's accountable to you." Under Leader Kevin McCarthy, the Commitment to America was crafted by Members, task forces, and committees over the past two years. As a leader of the Security Subcommittee in the Healthy Future Task Force, Rep. Hudson helped identify needed areas to improve health care, supply chains, and national security. Other solutions in the Commitment to America include curbing wasteful government, expanding America's domestic energy production, supporting U.S. manufacturing to reduce the dependence on nations like China, securing the border, hiring 200,000 more police officers, passing a Parents' Bill of Rights, and strengthening Social Security and Medicare for the future.

Ross | R000305 | ross.house.gov | ross | https://ross.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. —Today, Congresswoman Deborah Ross (NC-02) and Congressman Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (GA-01) introduced bipartisan legislation that will increase patients’ access to pharmaceuticals by cutting unnecessary bureaucracy within the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). The Improving Access to Safe Medicines Act will ensure that the DEA makes timely decisions on whether to de-schedule drugs recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), thereby making them available to patients with fewer restrictions. By requiring that the DEA make this determination within 180 days, this bill will reduce a barrier to care that artificially drives up costs and delays patients’ access to necessary drugs. “We must ensure people have access to life-saving medications when they need them most,” said Congresswoman Ross. “Our bill will remove unnecessary hurdles that have prevented patients from accessing and doctors from prescribing safe treatments. The Improving Access to Safe Medicines Act will streamline the process for de-scheduling drugs that have been deemed safe by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and I’m proud to work with Congressman Carter on this important issue.” “There are patients with chronic illnesses who have been waiting more than a year for the DEA to determine whether or not their drug will be de-scheduled,” said Congressman Carter. “This is a classic example of federal bureaucracy infringing on a patient’s livelihood. Every day we wait, patients’ access to life-saving pharmaceuticals is delayed. As a pharmacist, I understand how valuable time is in a person’s health care journey, which is why I’m glad to introduce this bill alongside Rep. Ross and eliminate this unnecessary barrier to health care access.” Read more in Politico Pulse. Read the full text of the bill here. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Murphy | M001210 | murphy.house.gov | murphy | https://murphy.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03) spoke on the House floor in support of the Simplified Joint Consolidation Separation Act, a Republican alternative to S. 1090. While Rep. Murphy supports the original intent of S. 1090, which permits married borrowers to urgently separate their loans, he has major concerns about this legislation becoming yet another tool for the Biden Administration to forgive mass loans in the wake of the President's unconstitutional student loan giveaway. "It is essential that we ensure victims of spousal abuse are able to sever joint consolidation loans without penalty or delay," said Rep. Murphy. "While I support the intention of S. 1090 to separate these loans, President Biden's unconstitutional student loan giveaway scam has drastically changed the context in which we consider this bill. S. 1090 gives the Administration authority and creates a pathway which could be used to grant additional loan forgiveness. Once these loans are separated into the Direct Loan program, these loans will be eligible for Biden's near trillion-dollar student loan scheme. Republicans made a good-faith effort to amend this legislation to protect taxpayers, but Democrats refused to close this loan ‘forgiveness' loophole." "Our Republican solution, the Simplified Joint Consolidation Separation Act will allow borrowers to separate their loans in a more timely manner to expedite financial freedom while protecting taxpayers by focusing the Administration's authority to directly aid those in need. This targeted, commonsense legislation should garner immediate support from both sides of the aisle." Background: Under the now-defunct Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program, married borrowers were permitted to consolidate their loans together into one joint consolidation loan (JCL). The practice was stopped in 2006. There is clear bipartisan agreement that married borrowers who need to separate their loans urgently – whether it be because of divorce or abuse – should be provided immediate assi… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Ross | R000305 | ross.house.gov | ross | https://ross.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Washington D.C. — Last week, President Biden signed into law the Senate companion to Congresswoman Deborah Ross’ (NC-02) bipartisan legislation to ensure that survivors of child sexual abuse are able to seek justice in court without being barred by statutes of limitations. Congresswoman Ross introduced the legislation with Representatives Eric Swalwell (CA-15), Guy Reschenthaler (PA-14), and Maria Salazar (FL-27). She spoke in support of her legislation on the House floor. 86 percent of child sexual abuse goes unreported, and the average age of victims reporting child sex abuse is 52. The Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act will enable survivors who were victims of over a dozen federal child sex abuse offenses to seek civil damages in federal court regardless of the time it takes to process and disclose the abuse. “The trauma of childhood abuse can take decades to process, and too often, statutes of limitations prevent survivors from seeking the justice they deserve,” said Congresswoman Ross. “All survivors deserve to see their day in court — no matter how long it takes them to process the trauma they’ve experienced. I’m proud that our bipartisan legislation was signed into law and will ensure our most vulnerable can see justice served.” For victims who choose to report their abuse, “delayed disclosure,” or the tendency of survivors of child sex abuse to wait for years before disclosing abuse to others, is common. Historically, delayed disclosure has impacted survivors’ path to justice. Under current federal law, no statute of limitations (SOL) bars the prosecution of criminal offenses involving child sex abuse anytime while the child victim is alive or 10 years after the offense, whichever is later. However, statutes of limitations remain an obstacle for survivors under the federal civil remedy statute. While Congress in 2018 lengthened the SOL for federal civil child sex abuse claims until the victim reached age 28 or until 10 years from the discovery of the violation or injury, th… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

The legislation was introduced in the United States House of Representatives and Senate today. Text of the resolution is available here. "For too long, stillbirth has been a silent crisis, but 23,500 babies are stillborn every year. According to a recent study, nearly 1 in 4 stillbirths are potentially preventable, and the United States is trailing other countries in making progress," said Congresswoman Alma Adams, co-founder and co-chair of the Black Maternal Health Caucus. "That is why I am proud to recognize September 19 as National Stillbirth Prevention Day with Congresswoman Hinson and Senators Booker, Grassley, and Merkley. All available data suggests we can make progress, so we hope increased attention to this issue will reverse this shocking trend of stillbirths and maternal mortality in the United States. I am thankful for all of the colleagues joining us as we raise awareness about stillbirth prevention efforts, promote research, and recognize the tens of thousands of American families who have endured a stillbirth tragedy. These babies – and their mamas – can't wait." “My heart goes out to any woman or family who has endured the tragedy of a stillbirth. The stillbirth rate in the United States is unacceptably high, especially for low-income and rural moms, and we must do more to help them have healthy pregnancies. Designating today as National Stillbirth Prevention Day is an important bipartisan action to prevent stillbirths and support expecting moms through their pregnancy, regardless of their income level or where they live,” said Congresswoman Ashley Hinson. “Stillbirth is an emotionally devastating tragedy for far too many Americans, and upends the lives of individuals… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Adams | A000370 | adams.house.gov | adams | https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | BOSTON (September 19, 2022) – Today, the Boston Globe published an opinion piece by Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) on the parallels between the migrant trips from Florida and Texas, and the “Reverse Freedom Rides” sponsored by White Citizens’ Councils in 1962 to mock the American Civil Rights Movement. The piece can be read in its entirety here.An excerpt is below: Abbott and DeSantis are using the same tactics as segregationists and the White Citizens’ Councils, and they are making the same mistakes. By using human beings as political pawns, they are acknowledging their intolerance and putting it on display for all to see. Even the geography is similar. The Reverse Freedom Rides sent many families to Hyannis Port, Mass., near then President John Kennedy’s family compound, near the island of Martha’s Vineyard. The victims of DeSantis’ stunt could travel there by ferry. Black Americans were sent to the Kennedys home; migrants are being sent to Vice President Harris’s residence in Washington, D.C. What is different about this new experiment in political trafficking is that it was endorsed and paid for by the governments of Florida and Texas. The Citizens’ Councils tried but were unsuccessful in gaining funding from the Louisiana legislature for the Reverse Freedom Rides. Most organizations like the Citizens’ Councils no longer operate in daylight, so instead of white supremacy by proxy, these governors are engaging in white supremacy by state action. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Murphy | M001210 | murphy.house.gov | murphy | https://murphy.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Reps. Greg Murphy, M.D. (R-NC), David Rouzer (R-NC), and Rob Wittman (R-VA) sent a letter to the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) urging them to withdraw a proposed amendment which would expand compliance of the mandatory 10-knot speed restrictions in Seasonal Management Areas. The proposal would impact 15,899 vessels throughout the Eastern Seaboard, resulting in 121,061 additional transit hours annually at an added cost of $49,216,122 per year. Read the full letter HERE. The members write, "As members of the East Coast delegation, we write to express concerns with Docket Number, NOAA-NMFS-2022-0022, Amendments to the North Atlantic Right Whale Vessel Strike Reduction Rule. The proposed rule would have profound impacts on the livelihoods of our constituents...After reviewing NOAA's proposal, in its own analysis of the rule, they concede that ‘…it is not possible to establish a direct causal link between speed reduction efforts and the relative decline in observed right whale serious injury and mortality events following the implementation of the speed rule…'[1]The agency cannot quantify the economic benefit for implementing the rule, but admits there are clear costs that will be imposed upon commercial and recreational fishing vessels, container ships, dredging vessels, ferries, towing vessels and many others. The members conclude, "Furthermore, NOAA proposes additional cooperation from the U.S. Coast Guard and State law enforcement agencies to enforce with this proposed rule, taking away law enforcement efforts away from national security interests off our coast. While we can appreciate your efforts to safeguard this species, which we all want to protect, these actions will financially devastate our constituents and potentially place them in a dangerous situation out at sea. We respectfully request you withdraw the proposed amendments." Read the full letter HERE. For the most updated action click HERE. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Murphy | M001210 | murphy.house.gov | murphy | https://murphy.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D. (R-NC) spoke on the House floor in support of H.R. 3173, The Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act which passed the House by voice vote earlier this afternoon. If signed into law, the bipartisan bill would establish an electronic prior authorization program for Medicare Advantage (MA) plans that would allow for real-time decisions, streamline care, and improve patient access to certain items and services. In his floor remarks, Rep. Murphy slammed the prior authorization process, noting that the current bureaucratic system delays patient care, strains hospital resources, and is a significant burden on providers. Watch the floor speech HERE. Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D. released the following statement following the passage of H.R. 3173, TheImproving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act: "This is an important day," said Rep. Murphy. "This is an important day particularly for patients because we're one step closer to removing bureaucrats from healthcare in America. As a practicing surgeon of more than 30 years, I cannot tell you how many times I have had to delay critical patient care because of a broken bureaucratic process that limits our resources, harms patients, and only benefits insurance companies. This bill turns back the clock on bureaucratic red tape and makes meaningful and appropriate reform to clinical decision making. I look forward to the day when we can fully return the autonomy and joy of taking care of patients back to providers." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Greg Murphy, M.D. (R-NC) released the following statement in response to today's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics which showed that year-over-year inflation rose 8.3% in August 2022, surpassing expectations. "This report confirms what every North Carolina family already knows: President Biden's incompetent economic agenda is hurting the American people," said Rep. Murphy. "While tone-deaf Democrats are senselessly celebrating their deceptively named 'Inflation Reduction Act', American families are suffering from the highest increase in grocery prices since 1979, overwhelming rent increases, and one in six American households is behind on their utility bills. No matter how President Biden tries to spin it, the reality of Joe Biden's economy means that everyone has to spend more to get less. North Carolinians cannot afford one-party liberal rule any longer." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Ross | R000305 | ross.house.gov | ross | https://ross.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Washington D.C.—Today, the House of Representatives passed the Senate version of Congresswoman Deborah Ross’ (NC-02) bipartisan legislation to ensure that survivors of child sexual abuse are able to seek justice in court without being barred by statutes of limitations. Congresswoman Ross introduced the legislation with Representatives Eric Swalwell (CA-15), Guy Reschenthaler (PA-14), and Maria Salazar (FL-27), and it now heads to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law. 86 percent of child sexual abuse goes unreported, and the average age of victims reporting child sex abuse is 52. The Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act will enable survivors who were victims of over a dozen federal child sex abuse offenses to seek civil damages in federal court regardless of the time it takes to process and disclose the abuse. “It often takes years – sometimes decades – to process the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, and statutes of limitations result in many individuals never seeing their day in court,” said Congresswoman Ross. “All survivors deserve access to justice - no matter how long it takes them to process the trauma they’ve experienced. Our bipartisan legislation will ensure our most vulnerable can seek the justice they deserve. I thank my colleagues for working with me to pass this important legislation, and I look forward to President Biden signing it into law soon.” "We must not put an expiration date on justice," said Congressman Swalwell. "While 86 percent of child sexual abuse goes unreported nationwide, the average survivor who chooses to report doesn’t come forward until the age of 52. The bipartisan Eliminating Limits to Justice for Child Sex Abuse Victims Act will help ensure survivors have their day in court no matter how long it takes to disclose the abuses they suffered.” “In many cases, it takes years for survivors to process the trauma of childhood sexual abuse,” said Congressman Reschenthaler. “The statute of limitations should not prevent survivors from seeking civil … | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Under law, the Department was required to issue a new rule that will modernize substance use disorder privacy regulations by March 2021. The Department has failed to release that rule to reform current guidelines that are obstructing doctors from seeing a patient’s full medical record and previous substance use history. In a letter to Sec. Becerra, Rep. Hudson and colleagues urge the Secretary to issue a new rule that will ensure doctors have access to patients’ addiction medical information to prevent tragic overdoses and improve patient safety. "Overdoses and the opioid epidemic have taken tragic tolls on our communities and country. I have been proud to lead efforts in combatting this epidemic, yet the COVID-19 pandemic, crisis on our southern border, and outdated regulations have made addressing this crisis more important than ever," said Rep. Hudson. "The Biden administration must act swiftly to release this overdue rule and stop this epidemic." Rep. Hudson has long advocated for comprehensive measures for addressing the substance abuse and overdose crisis afflicting this country. This includes cosponsoring the Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment Act of 2021and the HALT Fentanyl Act, bills which will help keep deadly, addictive drugs like fentanyl off the streets, as well as improve addiction treatment services in communities nationwide. Reps. Dan Crenshaw (TX-02), Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Neal Dunn (FL-02), Morgan Griffith (VA-09), Brett Guthrie (KY-02), Larry Bucshon (IN-08), and Markwayne Mullin (OK-02) joined Hudson on the letter, which comes as September is recognized as National Recovery Month.

Adams | A000370 | adams.house.gov | adams | https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | CHARLOTTE (September 8, 2022) – Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) released the following statement on the passing of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II. “I am saddened to hear of the passing of Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland,” said Congresswoman Adams. “While no statement could do her seven decade reign justice, I remain thankful for her opposition to the apartheid regime in South Africa, her commitment to democracy and the international community, and her work to maintain the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom during her time as Sovereign. Under Elizabeth II, the Commonwealth of Nations became an organization that opposes all forms of discrimination in a departure from Great Britain’s colonial past. Like many Americans, including myself, she drew comfort and strength from her faith in God. “A strong belief in the power of democratic government and international collaboration to create progress and prosperity is one of the Queen’s most important legacies. For her, the fight to preserve freedom and democracy was personal, and born out of the fight against fascism and Nazism. The Queen survived the Blitz and was the first female member of the Royal Family to join the British armed forces on active duty. When she became the first British monarch to address a joint meeting of the United States Congress in 1991, the Queen said, ‘Our societies rest on mutual agreement, on contract and on consensus. A significant part of your social contract is written down in your Constitution. Ours rests on custom and will. The spirit behind both, however, is precisely the same. It is the spirit of democracy. These ideals are clear enough, but they must never be taken for granted. They have to be protected and nurtured through every change and fluctuation.’ “I will honor the Queen’s memory by never taking our democracy for granted, and by continuing to protect and nourish it. My prayers are with the Royal Family, the people of the Unit… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |

Adams | A000370 | adams.house.gov | adams | https://adams.house.gov/media-center/press-releases | scraper | CHARLOTTE (September 6, 2022) – This morning, Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) spoke at the Sarah Stevenson Tuesday Forum, formerly known as the Tuesday Morning Breakfast Forum. The Congresswoman spoke to her accomplishments and priorities during the 117th Congress, and answered multiple questions from constituents and attendees. The forum was held at the Belmont Regional Center at 700 Parkwood Avenue in Charlotte, with attendees in person and online. Video from the forum is available on Facebook and on YouTube. Additional details about the forum are available here. Below are selected excerpts from the Congresswoman’s presentation: On Partisanship: “As a member of Congress, I can’t allow politics or partisanship to get in the way of passing transformative legislation or delivering excellent constituent service to every resident of the 12th district. Though it is hard to overcome the partisan divide, I continue to believe that the solutions to our country’s challenges don’t belong exclusively to any political party. That’s why I work with a Republican Congressman from Arkansas, Representative French Hill, who serves with me as co-chair of the Congressional Bipartisan Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Caucus. Along with French, we have Senator Tim Scott from South Carolina and Representative Mike Turner from Ohio in our leadership. Working together, we’ve signed up over half of Congress— including many Republicans— for my IGNITE HBCU Excellence Act, a transformative piece of legislation to fund the infrastructure needs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the country.” On Congress’ Accomplishments This Term: “Contrary to popular belief, we’re getting a lot done in Congress. Just this term, we’ve passed the American Rescue Plan Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. For those of you who don’t know, the Inflation Reduction Act is the greatest investment in fighting climate change ever. It’s going to cut our greenhouse gas emissions b… | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |
