The holiday season reminds us how a good meal can bring us together, lift spirits, and perfectly punctuate a reunion of family and friends. Old North State Catering provides all three when families and communities need them most.

Welcome back to my monthly newsletter. Before I begin with updates from D.C., I would be remiss if I did not take a moment to acknowledge and pay tribute to Charlie Kirk, who was taken from us far too soon at the beginning of September. I am praying for his wife and their two kids in this time of unspeakable tragedy and hope you’ll join me.

Across the country, in every small town and big city, friends gather at coffee shops to chat, share stories, and build community. Coffee may be the excuse to come together, but it’s the people who matter.

Congress is back in session following an August work period where I had the opportunity to connect with constituents, deliver services, and hear their concerns. If I didn’t get to meet with you this time around, be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming events. You can also reach out to my office at any time; we love chatting with constituents!

Of everything I discussed with North Carolinians, the Working Families Tax Cuts certainly stood out as top of mind for many.

June reminded us that Washington doesn’t make anything easy — but that won’t stop us from getting the best deal for the American people. From marathon hearings to speaking on the House floor at 4 a.m., I am proud to have worked with President Trump and my colleagues in the House to deliver on promises to the American people.
