President Carter’s legacy is defined by humility, integrity, and a lifelong dedication to service. As a President and humanitarian, he led with compassion and endeavored to improve the world. My thoughts are with the entire Carter family as we honor his remarkable life.

Over a year after Hamas’s brutal attack on October 7th, dozens of hostages remain captive, including Keith Siegel from my home state of North Carolina. Today, I joined hostage families in calling for the return of all those held by Hamas terrorists. #BringThemHomeNow

50 years ago, the Safe Drinking Water Act was signed into law to protect our nation’s drinking water. Last Congress, I was proud to help pass the #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw to build on that progress by replacing outdated, toxic lead pipes.
