Proudly serving #NC02. Former civil rights attorney and NC legislator. Committees: @HouseJudiciary and @ScienceDems
Joined January 2021
As we begin a new year, I want to share an update on what I accomplished for Wake County in 2024. From returning millions in federal benefits to leading critical legislation to address sexual abuse, I've spent this year fighting hard for our community.

The President and his billionaire friends do not care about women or families. They will try to pull our country backwards. The @demwomenscaucus is ready to fight.

At this perilous moment for our country, we must remember the courage of those who stood against oppression. Along with @RepAdams, @ValerieFoushee, and @RepDonDavis, I introduced legislation to honor the Greensboro Four for their contributions to the Civil Rights Movement.

Elon Musk is now a government employee with clear financial conflicts of interest. @RepRaskin & I led our @HouseJudiciary colleagues in calling on DOJ to uphold and enforce ethics laws when it comes to Mr. Musk's sprawling financial interests.

Shutting down the Department of Education will hurt North Carolina's children and families. I will fight this unconstitutional action because their future is our country's future.

It is vital that we continue to invest in cutting-edge research to compete on the global stage. So far, the Trump Administration has actively harmed our research and scientific industries in North Carolina.

Allowing Elon Musk anywhere near the systems that track extreme weather endangers every community in our country. As North Carolinians continue to recover from the damage of Hurricane Helene, Musk and his cronies need to stay away from vital data and systems like this.

Medicaid has been a lifeline for millions of Americans to live healthier lives. The Republican plan to cut funding will slash insurance and nursing home payments for thousands of North Carolinians. I am committed to ensuring this vital program is protected now and in the future.

On #NationalGirlsAndWomeninSportsDay, we honor those who paved the way for future athletes. We must do everything we can to support athletes. That's why I'm leading the Safer Sports for Athletes Act - to strengthen protections & help end sexual abuse & violence in sports.

Every child in North Carolina deserves an outstanding public education. President Trump’s scheme to eliminate the Dept. of Ed. is not only unconstitutional, it will devastate our children’s futures. I will fight this illegal maneuver every step of the way.

President Trump's planned purge of the federal workforce is a direct attack on North Carolina’s economy and security. This will cripple government operations, hurt vulnerable seniors and children, and damage key industries in our state. Read my full statement ⬇️

People are scared right now, and I understand your fear. The next four years will be tough, but I will do everything in my power to defend North Carolinians from Trump, Musk, and their entire chaos machine.

Supporting small business owners and entrepreneurs is vital for the American economy. Giving an unelected billionaire access to their personal information puts all small business owners in danger. @HouseDemocrats are ready put a stop to Musk's actions.
NEW: DOGE has requested and is being granted “access to all SBA systems,” per an email sent to @SBAgov employees today. Edward Coristine, a DOGE official, held a call with SBA staff detailing level of access they wanted, including HR, contract and payment systems

Hum Sub has been a cornerstone of our home for 25 years, celebrating the diversity and contributions of the Indian community. I was honored to speak at this weekend's celebration. I'll continue doing everything I can to make #NC02 a welcome home for the South Asian community.

The Trump tariffs will increase costs on basic goods Americans buy. Full stop. Americans are struggling under the weight of high prices, and this action by Trump will only inflame the problem. We need real solutions, not chaos.

The programs that President Trump wants to cut are not just abstract budget items. They are the difference between a child eating a nutritious meal at school or going to class hungry. We will not stay silent as he wages a war on the American people.
