The reckless magistrate judges in Charlotte are exactly why I introduced the Judicial Accountability for Public Safety Act. Really simple: judges should be liable for negligently releasing a repeat offender who goes on to commit a serious violent crime.

I was glad to take part in today's @HouseBudgetGOP Committee field hearing in Dallas on America's fiscal future and the need for a fiscal commission. Our national debt shows up in higher borrowing costs, inflation, and the mortgage payment on the average American’s home. It's also a national security concern. The long-term fiscal condition of our country is a fundamental issue, and it's time we treat it that way.

Despite decades of federal spending and regulation, health care remains too expensive and too difficult to access, not only here in North Carolina but in other states as well. I joined @NEWSMAX to discuss how pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) are impacting drug costs and threatening our small, community pharmacies.

Our healthcare system used to be driven by competition. Now, it's government subsidies and regulations. The result? Prices are rising, fraud is increasing, and patient care isn't improving. 🎥: @RepTimMooreNC

25 years ago, our country and our world changed forever. Today, we remember and honor the innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001, the heroes who ran toward danger, the families of the fallen, and those who took up arms to serve in our armed forces. After that day, Americans stood united by a shared love of country and neighbor. We must stand strong and continue to be that shining city on a hill.

One year ago today, we lost Charlie Kirk. Charlie was a devoted husband and father, a man of deep faith, and a proud American who inspired millions. Today, we honor his life and legacy and continue to pray for his family and all those who loved him.

Socialism stands in direct opposition to the principles that have made America the greatest nation in the world. For 250 years, our country has been built on individual liberty, limited government, and the belief that every American should have the freedom to pursue their own future. Those principles are worth defending. Today, I proudly voted to condemn socialism as its influence continues to grow within the Democrat Party. We have seen throughout history what happens when government power comes at the expense of individual freedom, and we cannot allow those failed ideas to take root here at home. I will always stand for the Constitution, individual liberty, and the freedoms generations of Americans have fought to preserve.

Today, I recognized Huntersville’s Ambassador Christian School on the House floor for their big win in the Global Ireland Football Tournament! The Lions traveled to Ireland and brought home a 58-34 victory over Grapevine Faith from Texas. Congratulations to these outstanding student-athletes for representing Huntersville and North Carolina on the international stage.

Today marks one year since Iryna Zarutska was tragically murdered by a violent repeat offender who was released onto our streets time and time again. Iryna came to America seeking safety and a better life. She should still be here today. We must hold reckless judges accountable and put an end to soft-on-crime policies. We owe it to Iryna and every victim of violent crime to keep our communities safe.

Nearly one year after Iryna Zarutska was brutally murdered, the magistrate judges who repeatedly released her killer still have not been held accountable. This was preventable. Violent repeat offenders belong behind bars, and those who repeatedly put them back on our streets must be held accountable.
🚨#BREAKING: The family of Iryna Zarutska is filing a lawsuit against the city of Charlotte NC, nearly 1 year after she was m*rdered on the Light Rail. This comes as an auditor's report revealed that 60% of everyone riding the Light Rail in Charlotte ILLEGALLY rides the train by not paying for a ticket. Yes, you read that right... SIXTY PERCENT of riders on the Light Rail do not pay for a ticket and illegally ride the train. "We need physical barriers to prevent non-ticketed riders from boarding our light rail system. It’s the only way, with a physical barrier, DeCarlos Brown Jr. would not have been on that train on August 22nd, 2025.” "The family wants Iryna's de*th to lead to lasting changes so that the people who live in Charlotte can feel safe...." GOOD!!!

Reckless magistrate judges must be held accountable when their decisions put dangerous, repeat offenders back on the streets. I joined @NEWSMAX this morning to discuss how my bill, the Judicial Accountability for Public Safety Act, would do just that.

Repeat offenders should never be given endless chances to harm innocent people. This Charlotte man, who was previously arrested at least nine times, has been attacking women and posting it on social media. I introduced the Judicial Accountability for Public Safety Act to hold judges accountable when their decisions put dangerous, repeat offenders back on the streets. foxnews.com/us/charlotte-car…

Hurricane Helene exposed the need for better coordination between agencies to get disaster assistance to folks faster. Ms. Stephanie McGarrah, Deputy Secretary of North Carolina Department of Commerce, highlighted that challenge during a recent @FinancialCmte disaster recovery hearing. That’s why I introduced the HUD Disaster Information Improvement Act. My legislation strengthens transparency and coordination to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse, and help get relief to those who need it faster.

I led my North Carolina and South Carolina colleagues in a letter to Secretary Mullin requesting enhanced security and federal coordination for the 2027 World Military Games in the Carolinas. With more than 10,000 active-duty military athletes from 140+ nations coming to Charlotte and the Carolinas, it's critical we have the resources in place to ensure a safe and successful event. That's why we're requesting a SEAR Level 1 designation and the establishment of a White House Task Force.

America's military must remain the strongest fighting force in the world. Last night, I voted to pass the FY27 National Defense Authorization Act to strengthen our military's readiness, give our service members the support they deserve, and ensure America stays ahead of our adversaries. The bill also includes my amendment to help prepare the Army for the next generation of military computing technology.

The majority of Americans support voter ID. We adopted it in North Carolina over a decade ago and we’ve seen greater voter participation since doing so. I’m proud to support this budget resolution, which advances reforms like voter ID across all fifty states, strengthens our national security, and provides certainty for our food supply.

Tonight, the House took action to prevent a government shutdown by passing H.R. 9770, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2027. This bill funds the government through December 4 while Congress works to finalize full-year appropriations. I voted in favor of this clean, straightforward continuing resolution to protect the critical services Americans rely on while ensuring political games do not jeopardize the funding process.
