The Blue Ridge Parkway is reopening six years ahead of schedule following Hurricane Helene! Through state and federal resources and strong partnerships, Western North Carolina is making significant progress in recovery. This milestone restores access to one of our region’s most treasured landmarks and supports the local businesses and communities that depend on it.

In FY2025, the VA permanently housed 51,936 homeless Veterans — the highest total in seven years! This progress reflects coordination between the VA and Congress to put resources where they're needed most, including right here in Western North Carolina, where our office has closed nearly 600 VA cases for constituents since 2023. If you or someone you know needs assistance, please call 865-EDWARDS.

I voted for H.R. 1 because rural communities deserve access to quality health care, and that starts with making sure our providers have the tools they need. This funding will help expand mental health and substance use services and give rural providers access to technology that can improve the way they deliver care. This is an important investment in rural North Carolina and the patients who call these communities home. https://t.co/7oRjHwvC3e

Two years ago, Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina and changed our lives here in the mountains. Our communities have shown tremendous strength and resilience, and we have made significant progress in rebuilding. But the work isn’t finished. I will continue working with our federal, state and local partners to make sure Western North Carolina has the resources it needs to finish the job. Watch my full interview below ⬇️

How these are counted

Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 468 of the House’s 676 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (208): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. “With the Republican majority” counts every issue vote on which most Republicans voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Republicans and most Democrats voted one way and this member the other. “With the Democratic majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Democrats. Independents count with the party they caucus with.
