Congressman McHenry Weekly Update

Talking With Folks in the Tenth District

Although it might not be in person, one of my favorite parts of serving the Tenth District is meeting our area's young leaders. This week I had the opportunity to join North Carolina Jaycee's Virtual Convention, where I had the opportunity to discuss the issues that are important to North Carolina and what it means to be a young leader in our communities. Click here to watch a brief clip of my opening remarks.

Wasting the American People's Time

The so-called 'crisis' at the Postal Service is nothing more than a conspiracy theory advanced by Democrats in a desperate effort to increase enthusiasm among their voters for November's election. While the House could have been working on legislation to help the millions of Americans still struggling because of the ongoing pandemic, Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats instead brought the House back into session last week to vote on a bill that will go nowhere and fix nothing. It was a tremendous waste of time. Click here to learn the truth about the so-called ‘crisis’ at the Postal Service.

By responding to the 2020 Census you are helping to ensure that our communities here in the Tenth District receive all the resources we need. The information collected in the Census determines the funding for our schools, firefighters, hospitals, and so much more.
