So excited to announce what we’ve been working on the last few months. I became a pediatrician to fight for kids. It’s why I ran for Congress. But the fight is just beginning. Follow, sign up, and donate. After all, it’s their future, but it’s our vote. #TFOV #TheirFuture

In the wake of a national tragedy, the NC house voted to greatly weaken existing laws to promote firearm safety. We have our work cut out for us to 1) continue community efforts for firearm safety and 2) encourage ppl to vote for local representatives that will protect children
Without any debate allowed by GOP leadership because the arguments were too compelling for them to hear, the House voted to override my veto and eliminate strong background checks for handguns in NC. 1/2

"As a pediatrician, I want my patients to get the healthy food they need to learn, grow and thrive... It makes sense to provide all school meals at no cost to families," writes Dr. @KimberlyMontez in @JournalNow. journalnow.com/opinion/lette…

Children should not be pawns in this process. As the wealthiest nation in the world, does that mean we are so selfish that we won’t feed our children? All the children? We can, thru expanded SNAP. cnn.com/2023/03/22/opinions/…

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all students in the state, regardless of how much money their parents make. Tens of thousands of food-insecure kids will benefit.
