Dear [xx]:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me about your concerns. I appreciate hearing from you.
The American people have made clear that they are deeply frustrated with our nation’s increasing divisiveness and with Congress’ inability to produce real results. Elected officials in Congress owe it to the American people to find common ground where there are plenty of opportunities to produce tangible results. I have worked across the aisle to tackle many of our country’s challenges, heal the partisan fissures that exist, and unite the American people behind positive leadership.
Among the initiatives I have focused on during my tenure in the Senate include:
Providing disaster relief for our fellow North Carolinians when tragedies, like Hurricane Helene, hit our state;
Passing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which will deliver more than $10 billion in much-needed infrastructure funding for North Carolina;
Passing the First Step Act, which comprehensively reformed our criminal justice system by updating mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent offenders and providing mental health, substance abuse, and reentry services;
Passing the VA Mission Act, which streamlined Veterans Affairs community care programs and allowed veterans to receive services provided by private hospitals and doctors;
Passing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which provides the largest investment in mental health care and school safety in our nation’s history; and
Passing laws to countering adversaries like China by fostering our domestic production within critical industries.
While much has been accomplished over the last few years, there is still more work to be done. In the 119th Congress, I will be focusing on a number of policies that present opportunities for bipartisan compromise, some of which include:
Actively seeking additional disaster assistance for North Carolina and developing new mitigation strategies that include recognizing vulnerabilities caused by our changing environment;
Working with my colleagues on a bipartisan basis to continue to implement badly-needed reforms to the VA;
Restoring economic growth by delivering tax relief and trade reform to the American people; and
Find common ground to work towards a fiscally responsible budget.
It is an honor and a privilege to serve the people of North Carolina. Please never hesitate to reach out again on issues that are important to you, and please contact my office if you or a loved one ever need assistance with a federal agency.
