Issue Position: Coastal Communities
Issue Position
Issues: Environment Housing and Property
Our coastal communities are vital to our state's economy and a treasure for all North Carolinians.
In Congress, I will be a tireless advocate for those issues critical to our coastal communities. I will work to find long term funding solutions for the dredging of our waterways and inlets as well as beach nourishment and re-nourishment.
I will also work with my colleagues in the House to protect the federal floodwater insurance program, which is vital to our coastal communities. It would be irresponsible for the federal government to ignore any rapid increase in flood insurance rates, which would bring real estate sales to a complete halt and cripple our coastal economy -- not to mention causing many home-owners to lose their life savings.
