WASHINGTON, DC – On Wednesday, Congressman Wiley Nickel (D-NC) gave his final speech on the House Floor in a farewell address to Congress and his constituents in North Carolina.
“I’m proud of the impact our office has had. Over the past two years, we’ve helped more than 1,600 constituents resolve issues with federal
agencies, returning nearly $2.8 million to my constituents in the process,” said Congressman Wiley Nickel. “We hosted and attended nearly 300 public events, including 16 town halls, to connect with our neighbors and make their voices heard in Washington. We responded to over 70,000 pieces of correspondence, ensuring every constituent knew their voice mattered.”
“Legislatively, we worked to make life better for the people we served. I introduced 13 bills and cosponsored over 450 pieces of legislation,
fighting for affordable health care, safer schools, better infrastructure, and an economy that works for everyone. I took to this floor 70 times to advocate for my district’s priorities and to share their stories with the American people.”
“There’s a lot of work I still want to do and I plan to continue in public service. North Carolina’s working families deserve elected leaders who will serve their best interests, not the interests of special interests or Donald Trump. I’m not giving up,” he concluded.
