Making life more affordable for you is my top priority. America is the land of opportunity. If you work hard, you should be able to succeed in the United States; that’s the American Dream. However, inflation, fueled by reckless policies, has made everything more expensive, corporate health insurance giants are crushing patients, and buying a home has become unattainable for many young people.
That’s why, as a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, I helped write and pass the Working Families Tax Cut into law, the largest middle-class tax cut in decades. This package included No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime Pay, tax relief for seniors, and enhanced the child tax credit and standard deduction. These pro-growth policies will boost paychecks, protect small businesses, and help preserve the American Dream.
I understand how difficult making ends meet has become. I am proud of the meaningful achievements we have so far. However, we must continue our work to build a strong economy that uplifts all Americans and provides opportunities to those who choose to take advantage of them.

Any nation, and America is no exception, needs to be able to depend upon secure borders to protect its citizens and communities. We cannot ever go back to the reckless policies of President Biden, which allowed millions of illegal migrants to overwhelm our border and enter our country. These ridiculous actions stripped innocent Americans of their lives, cost this nation billions of dollars, and made our communities less safe. Sadly, Democrats have doubled down on these policies and want them reinstated. Thousands of individuals were sold into human trafficking and have suffered terribly because of it.
I support President Trump’s actions to secure our borders. We must enforce our laws and crack down on these abuses. We cannot allow those who came here illegally to deprive Americans of benefits, jobs, housing, and public safety, and to live in the United States.

American healthcare is broken. Medical debt is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy. As a physician of 35 years, practicing in Greenville and Eastern North Carolina, I am fed up with inaction in Washington in stopping the egregious practice of insurance companies. If someone works hard at their job, they deserve to have health insurance they can rely on. Unfortunately, that is not the case for far too many individuals and families in our country.
Health insurance companies are raking in record profits off the backs of patients and those who provide care. As a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, I am working tirelessly to advance meaningful solutions to put patients and their doctors back in the driver’s seat over monopolies in the healthcare industry. I am fighting to take on the most powerful lobby in Washington for you and will not stop until we have a system that puts patients above profits and stops the ridiculous obstructionism by the insurance industry.

It is my privilege to be a strong voice for our veterans in Congress. It is only because of the sacrifices of our veterans, as well as their families, that we live in a free country. The blessings we enjoy are only possible because of those who served in our armed forces to protect them.
America made a promise to those who served our country in uniform to care for them upon retirement. While I appreciate the hard work done by many at the VA, unfortunately, its self-protective bureaucracy does not at times live up to that commitment. As a member of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, I am laser-focused on delivering long-overdue justice for those impacted by contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, making hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other critical services at the VA available for those in need, and improving access to and the timely delivery of quality healthcare.

I understand that food comes from farmers, not the grocery store. Agriculture is the cornerstone of Eastern North Carolina’s sustained prosperity. From turkeys and hogs to sweetpotatoes, peanuts, and cotton, our producers supply America and the world with high-quality products.
As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Trade Subcommittee, advocating for our farmers is a top priority of mine. Through the Working Families Tax Cut, I fought to make the Death Tax permanent to ensure that family farms stay family-owned for generations. Further, I remain dedicated to expanding market access and ensuring that American agriculture can compete with global competitors. Last, I am proud to advocate for fair H-2A labor rates and cutting red tape to cut down on labor costs that drive up expenses for our operations.

It is an honor to represent so many of our men and women in uniform at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, and Cherry Point and New River Air Stations. Our service members, and their families, sacrifice greatly to protect our nation and the freedoms we cherish.
We live in a very dangerous time in which foreign hostility to the United States is ever-growing. Our military must be prepared with the resources it needs to deter enemies and keep threats at bay. I am proud to have delivered hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding for construction projects on our bases, historic pay raises for our troops, and numerous quality of life reforms to ensure that military families can thrive. I will always stand up for those who bravely serve our country and be a strong advocate for them in Congress.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 37 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 204 contributions · 14% of ranked | $110,053 |
| Written instead of an employer · 66 contributions · 8.7% of ranked | $67,967 |

A further $81,725 came from donors whose answer names no employer (N/A, blank), so it is not ranked. Ranked from the largest 200 of 201 employer spellings filed; each share is of the money in those. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($31,914) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
The campaign also refunded $42,605 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.

All 1,111 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
119 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $63,412 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
| Name | Amount |

| 14 payments · 16% of all spending | $360,753 |
| 1 payment · 9.1% of all spending | $203,259 |

| 19 payments · 1.5% of all spending | $32,467 |
The people, firms and committees paid the most, across every kind of payment. Each share is of everything the committee reported spending this cycle, not only the itemized payments above. A payee that is itself a committee links to its own profile.
