Helping Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs in the Tenth District

Last Tuesday, the House took another important step towards helping American small businesses and entrepreneurs with passage of the JOBS and Investor Confidence Act.

Supporting the Brave Men and Women of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement

President Trump Calls for the Release of Pastor Andrew Brunson


Thank you President Trump for speaking out about the wrongful imprisonment of Pastor Andrew Brunson, a Christian missionary and Tenth District constituent who has been held by the Turkish government for nearly two years. I’ve worked tirelessly throughout Pastor Brunson’s detention to get these bogus charges dropped and see Pastor Brunson reunited with his family. Click here to read about President Trump's call for the release of Pastor Brunson. You can watch the speech I delivered on the House floor renewing the call for his release by clicking here or on the image below.


What I Have Been Reading

State-by-state job impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2018

Tax Foundation


Less than a year after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed in to law by President Trump we are seeing the positive impacts of tax reform. In North Carolina alone, there were over 6,500 jobs created in 2018 thanks to this historic legislation.                                             


Jobless claims in U.S. decline to lowest level since 1969

Bloomberg


The latest report from the Labor Department shows that the jobless claims are at some of their lowest levels in almost fifty years. This is just further proof that our economy is booming. With more jobs being created thanks to tax reform more Americans are able to find work and help continue to spur economic growth.
