Aviation safety is about protecting lives.

Great to welcome eastern North Carolina’s own Aaron Adams, a first officer advocating with the Air Line Pilots Association International, about efforts to address critical safety concerns through the ROTOR Act and ALERT Act.

When those on the front lines raise serious concerns, Congress should listen and work toward solutions.

Women across North Carolina agriculture continue making a lasting impact, from family farms to agribusinesses that support our local economy.

Thankful for the opportunity to hear directly from women agricultural leaders about protecting our farming traditions, supporting rural communities, and building a stronger future for eastern North Carolina.

[Congressman Don Davis @RepDonDavis]

Rural healthcare is about real people, families, and saving lives.

By working with partners like Lifepoint Health and advancing solutions like the Rural Patient Monitoring Access Act, we can reduce barriers and improve access to quality care in our local communities.

By focusing on real solutions and bringing our tax dollars back home, we can help reopen Martin General Hospital, strengthen rural healthcare, and protect families across eastern North Carolina.

[Congressman Don Davis @RepDonDavis]

Eastman School is reopening its doors in Halifax County, continuing a legacy that began as a log cabin school, grew into a Rosenwald School, and shaped generations as a high school and later, middle school before closing in 2009. Now, Eastman Leadership Academy will serve a new generation of students and write the next chapter.

[Congressman Don Davis @RepDonDavis]

In an emergency, minutes matter, and healthcare close to home can be the difference between life and death.

New:

Rep. Don Davis is calling for $25 million in federal funds to reopen the bankrupt Martin General Hospital in eastern NC.

Davis sent a letter to President Trump with the request.

Cancer touches nearly every family and community across eastern North Carolina.

On National Cancer Survivors Day, we recognize the incredible courage of survivors, the strength of caregivers, and the loved ones who walk alongside them throughout their journey.

We are working for you.

▪️H.R. 2048, the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act, a bill to waive arbitrary Social Security and Medicare waiting periods for eligible individuals with metastatic breast cancer because far too many individuals with this disease die waiting for their benefits.

▪️H.R. 3148, the SALUTE Act, a bill to direct the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot program to assist certain servicemembers and dependents with additional supplemental cancer treatment coverage.

▪️H.R. 4299, the Protecting Patient Access to Cancer and Complex Therapies Act, a bill that stabilizes physician add-on payments for Part B drugs selected under the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program.

We are standing strong with our students, honoring our veterans, supporting our farmers, and trusting in faith.

Grateful for another week spent with the people who make eastern North Carolina such a special place to call home.

[Congressman Don Davis @RepDonDavis]

Economic growth starts with investing in people and communities.

Congratulations to Judco Manufacturing on the opening of its new headquarters in Greene County, which is creating new jobs, expanding opportunities, and fostering continued confidence in the future of eastern NC.

[Congressman Don Davis @RepDonDavis]

Keeping eastern North Carolina safe starts with supporting the law enforcement officers and first responders who serve our communities every day.

Grateful to meet with Washington County Sheriff Arlo Norman, Commissioner Ann Keys, and County Manager Curtis Potter to discuss the challenges facing rural law enforcement and the resources needed to protect our communities. Strong partnerships help build safer communities and a stronger eastern North Carolina.

[Congressman Don Davis @RepDonDavis]

At the Halifax County Intergovernmental Association meeting, leaders from across the county discussed priorities impacting families, businesses, and rural communities. We also shared updates on efforts to strengthen agriculture, advance the Farm Bill, and support economic growth across eastern North Carolina.

Strong communities are built when local leaders come together to solve problems and create opportunities.

[Congressman Don Davis @RepDonDavis]

At a time of growing challenges around the world, the decision to join the military right out of high school and defend our nation speaks to the character, patriotism, and strength that continue to define eastern North Carolina. 

Honored to join Our Community Salutes at Elizabeth City State University to recognize the Class of 2026 enlistees from across eastern North Carolina. The future of America is in good hands. 🇺🇸

[Congressman Don Davis @RepDonDavis]

Every stitch of a servicemember’s uniform should be made in America.

Honored to co-chair the Berry Amendment Caucus with @RepPatHarrigan as we work to strengthen American manufacturing, support textile workers, and ensure our military has access to the high-quality materials it needs. Supporting American-made means supporting American jobs, American workers, and America's national security.

[Congressman Pat Harrigan @RepPatHarrigan]

Did you know there is already a law requiring the federal government to buy American made products, and it is not being enforced?

The Berry Amendment has been on the books for decades, but instead of buying American, federal agencies are sending contracts to our adversaries, and the supply chains trace straight back to China nine times out of ten.

I've co-chaired the first ever Barry Amendment Caucus to put a stop to it.

[Congressman Don Davis @RepDonDavis]

Some of the most inspiring stories in eastern North Carolina start on family farms.

Kristin Watson is honoring her family’s legacy by reclaiming her grandfather’s land and carrying on a third-generation farming tradition in Rich Square. She raises chickens and goats while supporting soybean farming, showing that family farming continues to be vital in eastern North Carolina.

Friday in the First

Jessica Rice-Hawkins, a lifelong resident of Henderson, has dedicated her life to helping others become stronger physically, mentally, and emotionally. As the owner of AimHigh Personal Training, Jessica has spent more than two decades using health and wellness to uplift individuals and inspire positive change across her community.

During the isolation and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jessica saw people struggling with loneliness, stress, and disconnection. Rather than stand still, she stepped up to create AimHigh: Keep Pressing, a nonprofit focused on keeping people active, connected, and encouraged during one of the most difficult periods many families had ever faced. What began as a virtual 5K to bring the community together during quarantine grew into a larger mission rooted in faith, service, and perseverance.

Through her work, Jessica continues to help people improve their health, build confidence, and believe in themselves during life’s toughest moments. Her leadership and compassion have made a lasting impact on families across Vance County and beyond.

Cotton remains a crucial part of our rural economy.

Grateful for the opportunity to join growers in Seaboard to discuss expanding markets for American-grown cotton and supporting legislation like the Buying American Cotton Act. When we back American agriculture, we support rural communities, local jobs, and the farmers who keep our country running.

[Congressman Don Davis @RepDonDavis]

Family farms serve as the backbone of eastern North Carolina, but many are facing some of the toughest challenges in a generation.

At Fleming Brothers Farms, we discussed rising costs for fertilizer, fuel, equipment, and supplies that continue to squeeze farm operations. Protecting family farms means safeguarding rural communities and a way of life that has supported eastern North Carolina for generations.
