Every day, hundreds of military service members who have valiantly served our country retire from the Armed Forces and begin their search for civilian employment.

As a 24-year veteran of the United States Army, seeing that my fellow veterans are employed in high-quality professions is one of my top priorities as a member of Congress.

The U.S. District Court in South Carolina dismissed a challenge to the Navigable Waters Protection Rule written during the Trump administration and granted a remand without vacatur, ensuring the rule remains in effect until the Biden administration finalizes a new rule. Agricultural groups are engaged in litigation across the country to defend the NWPR and are pleased with this key legal victory, yet recognize more work remains as the new administration forges ahead on making its own mark on regulating water. 

Maria Theresa Louis came to America from India in 2007, when she was just four years old — and she has spent much of the past 14 years worrying about the day she will be forced to leave her family and “self-deport” back to her birth country.

Maria isn’t an undocumented immigrant. Her parents brought her to North Carolina lawfully using an H-4 dependent’s visa, which allowed her to accompany them while her father worked in the Triangle on an H-1B “skilled worker” visa.
