In response to the coronavirus outbreak, North Carolina Representative White on Monday urged her constituents to remain calm, use common sense and follow federal, state and local protocols and guidelines.
“As your state representative, I want you to know that I am working closely with the Governor’s office and our federal partners to ensure North Carolina responds strongly and appropriately to limit the coronavirus outbreak. As you know, there have already been several significant steps taken on the national, state, and local levels to ensure public health is protected. Please know I will continue doing all that I can to assist in this response and keep our residents updated and safe” said Representative White.”
“The North Carolina House remains well-prepared financially for emergencies like COVID-19 with over a billion dollars remaining in rainy day reserves, even after historic spending on hurricane recovery. We are ready. Our residents can have confidence North Carolina’s legislature will provide another robust policy and economic response to help them weather this storm of uncertainty and emerge stronger than ever, together,” added Speaker of the House Tim Moore.
