North Carolina has the operational capacity, strategic location, & military expertise that make it ideal for missions of national importance. Hosting the Phoenix II at MCAS Cherry Point would enhance this legacy & strengthen the state’s longstanding partnership with U.S. Department of War.

North Carolina's higher education institutions prepare many of our next generation with the tools & skills to keep our State #1 in the workforce. There is no doubt that college athletics play a role in attracting & retaining students & in making NC home after graduation.

My bipartisan legislation with Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock will help restore the U.S. IPO market by codifying confidential registration rules to encourage more businesses to enter public markets and expand investment opportunities for Americans.

Today marks the final flight of the Marine Corps’ AV-8B Harrier at Cherry Point, North Carolina. For over 40 years, the Harrier served as the United States Marine Corps' premier close air support platform around the globe.

In a new role, the Harrier will continue to inspire the next generation of leaders about the importance of American airpower & innovation. Semper Fi.
