Lol. I've added another comment below. Just read an online article published in the Charlotte Observer about imminent redistricting. It's stomach churning.

Amazing coverage - appreciate your context and honesty! I live in Guilford County so you don’t represent me directly but as a North Carolinian I support you 110%! Keep up the great fight and keep the updates coming 💯

They must be afraid of him-- they are considering Redistricting, eliminating his district!!

Good morning Jeff. Once again, thank you for your obvious and continually demonstrated patriotism. You call it as you see it. I much prefer your style because while I may occasionally disagree with you on issues (only occasionally!!), I 100% agree with you on how you represent our state in the Congress, and quite honestly, to the rest of the world. I am confident you do not need the platitudes, but I so appreciate the comments from citizens who are cheering you on. I agree with Tracy Clark's comments - as a NATIVE North Carolina, you certainly do our state proud! Well done!

Thank you to your wife and children for the sacrifices they make to have you gone to Washington to work for us. Margaret Davis Pct 1 Mecklenburg County NC

WOW, can you please run for governor of our state? I am a republican with no real options here in Eastern NC. I have been following you for about 6 months and appreciate your candor.

Our GOP is busy making the governor's office a figurehead. I'd rather he ran for US Senate!

I deeply appreciate your clarity in describing inside events so I can understand them. I look forward to and read all of your emails! VERY helpful! Thank you for doing this work. It does not go un-noticed.

Sir - thank you ! For your open, transparent and honest appraisals and briefings. Perhaps a Senate run ( to unseat our present R lackeys - please ) will be in your future plans ? I do hope so-NC needs representatives like you.

Awesome and brutally honest as always Jeff and I AM HERE FOR IT! It is long overdue for our elected representatives to be checked on their egregious behavior - regardless of party.

An AP story published in last Thursday's Observer about redistricting in NC is draining the blood from my head. Very soon the NC legislature will put their poison pens to work on maps all but guaranteed to geographically choose voters who will not only keep but likey extend the GOP'S power in Congress and the statehouse. This blatant gerrymandering is contemptible and sickening. I'm an Ohio resident where I see the same thing. You said recently your seat will likely be in jeopardy next year. The AP story also says three other NC Democratic seats may fall victim to this as well. And the governor has no veto power on this, handcuffs courtesy of Republicans. I think you are proving your value to NC, Congress, and the US every day, but that doesn't count for much when the foxes keep the keys to the chicken coop. What can normal, fair-minded people yearning for equity in our representation do?

This is a helluva good play-by-play of the recent events. About the best I’ve read, above the Times and Post. THANK YOU!!!

And, yes, go after George Santos (Clarence Thomas as well). What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I'm tired of Dems doing the "ethical" thing while the repubs continue to ignore their transgressions.
