The right to vote is a cornerstone of our democracy. It’s imperative that we work to strengthen voting rights – not make it more difficult for North Carolinians to cast a ballot. That’s why I voted for and cosponsored the For the People Act, a sweeping package to protect and expand voting rights, restore integrity in government, and put the needs of the American people ahead of the priorities of powerful special interests.

In Congress, I am a proud cosponsor of the Women’s Health Protection Act which will ensure that reproductive rights are protected at the federal level so that all people can have access to reproductive health care regardless of where they live.

No one should ever have to decide between life-saving care and paying their household bills, yet many North Carolinians still face this devastating choice every day.

I also support lowering the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 60. Learn more
