Everyone has a motive. Mine comes from the loss of my brother. Nine years ago today, I lost my little brother Luke to fentanyl  - and I’m in Congress, so you don’t have to lose yours.

Proud to join @JerryMoran in introducing a bipartisan resolution recognizing Red Ribbon Week. I've seen firsthand the devastating toll illicit drugs take on families. We owe it to the next generation to educate our kids, support prevention, and keep our communities safe. mcdowell.house.gov/media/pre…

Our children deserve a future free from the dangers of illicit drugs. This Red Ribbon Week, we're reminded that strong families, education, and supporting law enforcement are critical to preventing drug abuse and keeping our communities safe.

Today, I’m proud to sign @VP's Pledge to Protect Americans from Fraud. The days of stealing from American taxpayers without consequences are over. It’s time to hold fraudsters accountable.

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Yet, as too many know, grieving the loss of a baby doesn't happen one day a year.  It’s difficult to discuss the grief that comes with the loss of a baby. In 2023, our family suffered a late-term miscarriage with Mary Margaret's older sister, Charlotte Sloane. It devastated us.  Since then, the Lord has blessed Rachel & I with three beautiful girls. They're the greatest joys of our life. Still, Charlotte will always be our first and we find comfort in knowing that she's with Jesus.  To everyone navigating loss, our hearts and prayers are with you. Please know that even in our darkest days, hope remains. Psalm 30:5 – "Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning."

I joined NCDOT's Airport Vision and Partnership Tour in Lexington to learn more about KEXX Airport's future and the exciting projects ahead. North Carolina has a rich history of leading the way in aviation, and I'm proud to see that tradition continue right here in NC-06.

For 251 years, the U.S. Navy has defended our freedom at sea with honor, courage, and commitment. Thank you to every brave sailor who has answered the call to serve our great nation. Happy birthday, @USNavy! 🇺🇸

Rural North Carolinians have gone too long without access to quality mental health and substance use services. I'm proud to see $17 million going towards new behavioral health clinics, opioid treatment access, crisis response, early intervention & perinatal behavioral healthcare.
