I will miss your commentaries on the working of the House come January giving me a much better understanding of the processes there. But balancing that, I'll be happy when you start cleaning up the political (and non-political) corruption in North Carolina. We North Carolinians are grateful for you clear, concise, and straightforward communication!

Thanks for the insight. Brief and clear. I am not in your legislative area but you are a breath of fresh air in a stale room of debris that needs to be cleaned out. Too bad these folks in government don't give a flip about their job. If they did they would understand that governing involves serious negotiation, not grandstanding. Seems like they are mostly in it to gain $$, power and notoriety.

The budget farce reminds me of how the Republicans tried to repeal Obamacare 50! times and failed every time because some Republican (often McCain) would vote against it or the Democrats would veto it. They have given up because now it is too popular.

Because the Republicans prefer opposing progress they had no party platform in 2020. They may be great talkers and conmen, especially Trump, but their radicals are incompetent in governing.

I'm really going to miss your emails. How do you keep your sanity working with people who have no clue how to compromise or govern?

Thank you so much for making sense of all the crazy things going on right now. I love getting updates from you and seeing your post on TikTok. I hope to contribute to your campaign as I know that you do not take corporate money and it makes it hard.

It is encouraging that after such a long time the House has passed a "spending bill." It is past time for those elected to represent us to put party aside and get things done. Congress has certainly earned a reputation of chaos. Other countries and nations are looking at our country, and our influence is decreasing. We have so much to get done with problems we are facing as a nation. Thank you, Jeff, for all that you do to represent us. You make me proud of being a North Carolinian. Keep on working for us and keep on letting us know about the workings in Congress.

I'll enjoy seeing you and Josh stand up to the ridiculous right-wing NC legislature on behalf of the more sensible citizenry.

Thanks, as always, Jeff. You’re a congressional reporter for the common people.

We’re going to send you a blue wave of support right into the AG’s chair.

Thank you! I don’t know how I get your updates as I do not live in your district, but I sure do appreciate you and your work! If the AG thing does not work out, is there any chance you would consider a move to Georgia’s 14th? We sure could use you as our representative in Congress!

So grateful for your behind the curtain peek into Oz and especially the flying monkeys. Looking forward to see if they eat another of their own. Johnson deserves nothing less, atavistic Christian nationalist that he is. Thanks, Jeff.
