Lots of folks showed up for our town hall, where we discussed the state budget and what the federal reconciliation bill just signed by Trump means for our community and folks all across NC. People are rightfully alarmed by the blows to Medicaid expansion, public education…

Breaking: We have filed suit against U.S. Department of Education for unlawfully withholding $165m in education funding for NC. This is congressionally-approved funding they cannot withhold. If not reversed, it could mean layoffs for nearly 1,000 educators in NC.

Honored to talk with the The Hunt Institute Fellows about the status of NC Public Schools and the increased funding needed to give our children the best possible education. #ChildrenAreOurFuture #TeachersAreHeroes #thankateacher

I'm honored to be a member of this committee. Suggestions of ours have already made it into legislation, and we're working hard to ensure the Governor's office has all the information they need. Thank you Governor Josh Stein for your continued dedication to WNC

Three school districts in House District 27, Halifax County Schools ($214), Northampton Co. Schools ($230) and Weldon City Schools ($193), would lose a combined $637 per student. #nced #ncpol

Breaking: The Department of Education has reversed course and is releasing all frozen funds – $6.8b nationally, $165m for North Carolina – after we filed suit last week. This ends weeks of uncertainty. Our schools can now plan and hire for a strong year ahead. My absolute best

I was proud to attend and support today's Trillium Health Resources Re-entry Simulation that highlighted the real challenges faced by justice-involved individuals returning to the community. #reentrymatters #RepRodney #SecondChances #warrencountync #HD27

Breaking: The court just ruled that the federal government can’t spend North Carolina’s $200m in disaster preparedness money elsewhere while our lawsuit against FEMA plays out. FEMA broke the law when it cut these millions that our communities were using to repair water and

"Atwa will provide a breakdown of the NC House and Senate budget plans, as well as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” Her remarks will focus specifically on how these legislative proposals impact House District 27." #ncpol rrdailyherald.com/news/local/rep… via RRDailyHerald

This morning, I joined other electeds from Orange County & Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, NC this morning to tour their site at Auman Village in Hillsborough. It’s no secret - our county needs more affordable housing and I appreciate the commitment of our community partners to provide more!
