Combat tested me. Starting a business humbled me. Raising a family grounded me. All three prepared me for the responsibility of representing the 10th District in Congress.

An American researcher detained in China on espionage charges is a reminder that the Chinese Communist Party does not separate academic, economic, and national security interests the way the West often does. Beijing treats information, research, and access as strategic assets, and Americans should understand that reality before assuming engagement with China operates under the same rules and assumptions that govern free societies.

Modern surveillance no longer requires spies, satellites, or cyber intrusions. Sometimes it just requires a credit card and access to the data marketplace. Recent reports that adversaries exploited commercially available location data to track and surveil U.S. personnel led me to help lead a bipartisan effort demanding answers from the Pentagon.

The military has mastered the art of operating complex equipment in the world's most demanding environments, yet maintaining that equipment too often requires permission from a contractor. Proud to see @NationalSecJour highlight my bipartisan Right to Repair amendment and the effort to give our warfighters greater control over the equipment they rely on to accomplish the mission. nationalsecurityjournal.org/…

Congratulations to my constituent Vivian Funderburk of Winston-Salem on earning the Congressional Award Gold Medal today, the highest honor Congress can bestow on a young American. 400 hours of community service, 200 hours of personal development, 200 hours of physical fitness, and a five-day expedition over two years, making #NC10 proud.

Earlier this year, I joined @SenErnst and a bipartisan group of lawmakers in calling attention to the national security risks posed by TP-Link devices. Glad to see the Pentagon taking action. The CCP has no business inside American homes, military installations, or critical infrastructure.
NEW: TP-Link has been added to the Pentagon's list of Chinese military-linked companies. This is a huge step in securing our national security interests.   TP-Link also sells baby monitors and doorbell cameras used in millions of American homes. Americans should never have to worry that devices designed to protect their families could be giving the CCP access to their private lives.   That’s why we teamed up with @SenJoniErnst earlier this year to bring these Chinese companies to the FCC’s attention. It's time to close the CCP's back door into both Americans’ homes and our military bases.

Another year, another win. @HouseGOP brought home its sixth straight Congressional Baseball Game victory while helping raise a record $3.2 million for charity. Proud to be part of a tradition that supports great causes and gives Congress a chance to compete somewhere other than the House floor.

.@fema has approved $297 million for Western North Carolina. More than a year after Hurricane Helene, many communities are still working to rebuild homes, restore infrastructure, and recover from the devastation left behind. This funding is an important step forward and will help deliver the resources needed to continue that work. We will continue working until every community has the support it needs to recover and rebuild. carolinajournal.com/fema-app…

When I asked @SecretaryWright whether my Nuclear Rate Stabilization Act would help usher in a new era of American nuclear dominance, his answer was simple: yes. This bill lowers costs for consumers, unlocks investment in next-generation reactors, and helps ensure America has the reliable energy needed to power the future.

If your business operates across state lines, you should not have to guess which states can tax you or fight conflicting claims from states where you have no employees, no property, and no actual operations. I introduced the Business Activity Tax Simplification Act today to establish one clear national standard and bring some certainty back to interstate commerce. taxnotes.com/content-viewer?…

GNC is owned by a Chinese firm. The more you know.
More than 90 GNC stores reportedly continue to operate on U.S. military installations despite the company being owned by a Chinese firm. I’ve pushed to close this loophole because it never made sense that a company ultimately owned by an adversarial nation could maintain a retail presence inside the gate of American military bases. Our servicemembers are constantly reminded to protect sensitive information, yet a Chinese-owned retailer has been allowed access to the very communities we ask them to defend. American military installations exist to support readiness and national security, not provide a foothold for companies owned by our adversaries.

American patients should not be paying more so wealthy foreign countries can pay less. I joined a letter urging the Trump Administration to investigate unfair pharmaceutical pricing policies abroad and hold our trading partners accountable. If other countries want access to the benefits of American innovation, they should help pay for it.

It's official, the Secure America Act is now law! For 115 days, political games got in the way of funding the agencies responsible for enforcing our immigration laws. The only people hurt by that fight were the men and women doing the job and the communities counting on them. Now @ICEgov and @CBP have the resources to hire, train, and equip the personnel needed to secure the border and enforce the law. That's a win for public safety, a win for law enforcement, and a win for the country.
FIGHTING FOR AMERICA'S LAW ENFORCEMENT! "I'm thrilled to sign the Secure America Act to immediately and fully fund the Department of Homeland Security through the END of my term." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Plain and simple. Both @RepPatHarrigan and I served as Green Berets to defend the Constitution and the rule of law. We will not stand by while radical ideologies undermine the principles that make America strong. We will always defend our Constitution, our freedoms, and the values upon which this nation was founded.
