                   MEET RESIDENTS WHERE THEY ARE TOUR

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to reflect on the 
Meet Residents Where They Are Tour my team and I conducted during the 
past district work period, a meaningful journey, crisscrossing North 
Carolina's First Congressional District.
  We connected with people who make eastern North Carolina special from 
classrooms to farms. At the 60th annual Haliwa-Saponi Blooming of the 
Dogwood Powwow, I was proud to present my bill in support of Federal 
recognition.
  We visited schools, read to children, engaged with food bank 
volunteers and farmers. We spent time at the Tar River Boys and Girls 
Club in Rocky Mount, celebrated Barton College and Wilson Community 
College, and met with quilters in Warren County, as well as disaster 
survivors in Perquimans County. We also visited key businesses driving 
our economy, the United States Coast Guard in Elizabeth City, and ECSU.
  Mr. Speaker, it was a remarkable experience and a powerful reminder 
of why we are able to serve.
