“I'm excited that Lockheed Martin brought an F-35 cockpit demonstrator to our district. The F-35 is important for our military. Our district will support F-35 squadrons. This will bring jobs and money to North Carolina. We are proud of our military and glad we can play a role in our country's defense.”

“I want to cheer for boatbuilders in my district. I think they are great. They support jobs here and help keep coastal heritage alive in eastern North Carolina. Visiting them made me feel proud. I want to protect these businesses and our maritime heritage.”

“I am sad. A man named Xavien died. He was a good man and a pastor. He worked with young people and made his town stronger. He will be missed.”

“A lot of foreign beef is coming to the U.S. That's bad for American cattle farmers. I met with some of those farmers. I want you to think I'm trying to help American farmers. I don't like foreign competition.”

“I want to celebrate Dorethea Branch's 100th birthday. She is from North Carolina. She was the first African-American member of a health board. She volunteered a lot. She is an inspiration.”

“I want to cheer for a high school artist. She made a nice painting of a rusty truck. I hope other kids try art too. Her painting makes me think good things can come from bad starts.”

“A very old Army veteran is turning 100. He served in Japan after World War II. He saw that war is bad. Later, he started a rescue squad in his town. He helped people. That is good.”

“I want to say nice things about a man who died. He was the mayor for a long time. He did many good things for his town. He was a good man. I am sad he is gone. I want to wish his family well.”

“A group of military members died. It makes me sad. One of them was from my state. He did many good things. He wanted to do more. People will miss him. I want people to remember him.”
