“Today the primary voters of the 5th Congressional District made it very clear they want a strong conservative with a proven track record to represent them in Congress. I am so grateful for the voters who turned out to endorse my conservative beliefs and common sense approach to solving problems and I look forward to earning their support again in the general election this fall.
‘Now more than ever, we need leaders in Washington who are serious about the issues facing the people of North Carolina. It’s time to stop the reckless government spending that is contributing to out-of-control inflation. It’s time to tap American energy sources and bring down the price of gas. And it’s time to secure our borders against the threat of unchecked illegal immigration that has grown under the Biden administration. I’m confident that with a conservative majority in Washington we can begin working on these critical issues once more.
“This primary victory would not have been possible without the support and aid of so many hard-working and generous people. I’m so grateful to the many, many dedicated people who gave their time and energy to help get our message of conservative solutions out to voters across the 5th District.
“The privilege of serving the people of North Carolina in Congress is one of my life’s greatest honors. That’s why I am so focused on listening to and learning from the people of this district to ensure their voices are heard in Washington. My constituents can count on me to continue to fight for them, to represent their interests and to uphold our Constitution.”

“It’s more important than ever that our country elects leaders who will advocate for policies that help lower costs for families, promote economic opportunity for all, defend access to comprehensive health care, and protect our national security. During my first term in office, I’ve brought more than $500 million home to the Triad, held more than 250 constituent meetings, and closed over 1,500 constituent cases. I’m running for re-election to build on that progress and to ensure that North Carolinians have a strong voice in Washington. I look forward to continuing to represent Guilford County and parts of Forsyth County and I will work hard to earn the support of voters in Rockingham and Caswell Counties.”
