Visited with Chief Freeman & the Bat Cave VFD a few weeks ago, seeing the Hickory Nut Gorge almost two years after Hurricane Helene. While progress has been made, there is still work to be done to support our neighbors, strengthen local economies, & keep WNC communities strong for generations to come.

I can remember dropping supplies by helo and conducting search & rescue missions in Bat Cave, NC. It was pure destruction and devastation. Honored to have been able to help as many as we could

"There is still work to be done" What an absolutely *profound* observation from Jr Sen Budd. Does he think no one else noticed? And posing for a photo-op and holding up a t-shirt? At least Budd has time to tackle the hard work of displaying merch.

Who was it that Trump appointed as Recovery Czar for Western North Carolina? Oh, none other than Michael Whatley, who just so happens to be running for North Carolina's House of Representatives... And where did all the money go? meetmichaelwhatley.com/where…

Why did so little of the govt relief actually go to help victims rebuild? How much went to Admin for the state?

Great Ted. But why do you continue to cover up the release of the Epstein files? Aren't you tired of bending over yet? After November, your life will be very different
