people in north carolina are tired of politicians plays politics with their lives.e who has had two successful statewide elections. i've been tested, so we're traveling across the north carolina, meeting people where they are, listen to go their concerns. i've committed to running this race hard and to winning this and serving the people of north carolina. >> as you know, only two black women have ever served in the united states state, one being vice president kamala harris. currently there are no bloom women in the senate. tell us why you think that is and what are some of the challenges for running for office? >> first, let me say representations matters. i remember the first time, as a lawyer i saw an african-american woman presiding in the courtroom. it was then judge timmons, and for me it was life changing it matters that our institutions, our united states state senate expressed diversity and makes us better, so many challenges, but we know it's possible. we know there are obvious barriers to seeking office, particularly at this high level. >> as president b

the gentlewoman from north carolina. ms. speaker, i yield three minutes to the gentleman from new york, a distinguished member of the rules committee, mr. morrelle. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. morrelle: thank you, madam speaker. and i want to also thank my friend and rules committee colleague, ms. ross, for yielding time and for her leadership on this important issue. colleagues, today i rise in support of the rule that will advance the america competes act, an historic package of long overdue legislative actions to strengthen our supply chain and make bold investments supporting manufacturing right here at home where it matters most. there is so much in this legislative package that i'm proud to deliver for my constituents back home in rochester, new york. specifically, the provision to boost regional innovation hubs and regional innovation. i am proud that language in h.r. 4521 will create regional technology and innovation hubs like those envisioned in my legislation, the innovation centers a

now, more than 15,000 north carolina and are directly employed by the recycling sector -- while north carolina is making great progress like every state we have a ways to go before we have a truly circular economy. we have a lot of work to do to decrease the amount of waste and food ending up in our landfills. according to the epa, wasted food is the largest segment of our waste stream. the usda estimates that 30 to 40% of our nation's food supply is wasted each year. this waste occurs even as 13.8 million households are experiencing food insecurity. and it is not just a waste problem, it is also a climate problem. approximately 58% of total u.s. methane -- come from landfills. while our work is not done, i appreciate the opportunity to share you north carolina's journey with you. with programs that encourage a source production of waste, a robust economic development effort to support infrastructure and businesses that reuse materials and a strong straight recycling program, we can make real progress towards creating a truly circular economy. thank you. >> thank you so much, miss eli

, but in this category of plastic bottles, 8% on north carolina. it's pretty far down there. has north carolina considered how to really focus on this problem of plastic bottles? there's the expression that was in the testimony of reduce, reuse, recycle, but with plastic bottles, the truth is it's burned, buried or borne out to sea, all three of which create significant environmental challenges. as we wrestle with this state by state, oregon was the first one to have a bottle bill. i'm disappointed to see that maine has a higher recycling rate than us, but at least we're hanging in there in second. hopefully, to improve. but has north carolina considered the possibility of doing something to boost themselves from the 8% level to the above 50% level through some sort of deposit strategy or other strategy? >> thank you for that question, senator. there has not been any bottle deposit legislation introduced recently. north carolina has focused on its return of p.e.t. bottles, though. we have some important industries and market demand in the state, it

thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> my mom is from north carolina. you're from god's country, as she would say. we'll get to the meat of the matter here. i think many people will look at this and say, how is this possible? how would you be able to prevent him from running for re-election. it comes around the 14 amendment. explain why. >> that's exactly why. it's actually the constitution of the united states that disqualifies madison cawthorn from being a candidate for office in 2022. north carolina has a challenge statute in which voters in the district in which the individual files -- in this case, the 13th congressional district -- file this challenge saying they have reasonable suspicion that cawthorn is disqualified based upon the 14th amendment section 3. so, there is a process in place in the statutes in which we can both undergo discovery and depose mr. cawthorn but also present our case to an elections board panel with the burden on him to actually show that he is qualified. >> now, that's fascinating. at first i remember what people are cal

born in wynton, north carolina, and a graduate of north carolina's central university, dr. flood began his career as an educator, teaching grade school and eventually becoming a principal. following his teaching tenure, dr. flood joined the north carolina department of public instruction, where he made a significant impact during his 21 years of dedicated service. in the years following the landmark 1954 brown vs. board of education decision, dr. flood and the late gene cosby were tasked with the facilitating of the desegregation of schools in all 100 counties in north carolina. in 1969, dr. flood and mr. cosby began to travel across the state to help desegregate north carolina's school systems. beyond the assistance they provided in navigating this challenging process, it was the visual of these two men, one black and one white, working closely together that made a powerful impression on teachers and students alike. through his honorable work, dr. flood became a state hero, and north carolina became a model for school desegregation. by working to ensure that north carolina

he analyzed 20 million of them in north carolina alone. he says the disparities are even more pronounced when if comes to searches. >> once pulled over, that's a double whammy, gives you a four times greater likelihood of being searched, just being black. >> you probably heard the phrase, driving while black. it's a common refrain in the black community. but now we have cold, hard statistics that bear it out. so we wanted to know, how did we get to a place where if you're black you're more likely to be pulled over and searched? >> black and white motorists are on very different footing on the road in terms of the risks that they face. >> holmes co-counsel in the bottom case ian manhattans gave us a look at some of north carolina's traffic stop data. we took a look at the data reported by the police in salisbury north carolina where stephanie bottom was stopped. white population is nearly 50%. the black population is 37.5%. the rest is a mix of hispanic, asian, native american and other. the recorded stops reflect the demographic makeup of

about districting and gerrymandering how much of that has a north carolina focus. we are ground zero for for a lot of that litigation and many of those disputes and so i i couldn't find an account of that. and so i just wrote it and put it as a part of my chapter on political reform and as part of that i did show the successive maps of of my own district which you know it i think i have represented all of our part of 12 counties in central, north carolina at one time or another which you say, you know as well run for sanity, but you're going to going to do that, but the the it's all over the place and and so i've had to constantly adapt the main the main change in the mid-90s was in response to a court order having to do with the racial questions in districting and i ended up swapping out central raleigh for central durham both the democratic and i do talk in the book about that challenge of shifting focus and then the biggest change came after the tea party election of 2010. when the fourth district became a poster child for extreme gerrymandering we were all over

north carolina, the state that you come from is an exemplar for many people with gerrymandering that actually does not represent the political divisions of your state. and you-- your district is certainly an example of a district that has been carved and diced many times. how has that affected you and what's your view about what we ought to do to try. >> one thing i added in the fourth edition of the book was an account, distracting how much of the litigation about districting and gerrymandering, how much of that has a north carolina focus. we're ground zero for a lot of that litigation and many of those disputes so i couldn't find an account of that and so i wrote it and put it as part of my chapter on political reform and as part of that, i did show the successful math of my own district. and i think i have represented all or part of 12 counties in central north carolina at one time or another, which you say, you might as well run for senate if you're going to do that. the -- it's all over the place and so i've had to constantly adapt. the main change in the mid 90's was in respons

constitution and also in the north carolina constitution. and this is a statute that has been used on a number of occasions to address those kinds of challenges. >> yes, it's an interesting case. because on some level, the first amendment equities on the other side loom large. you don't necessarily want some board saying who can and who cannot run for office, willy-nilly. that's a profound power to wield. at the same time, if someone said, i am 14 years old and i'm running for congress, you would need someone to say, well, you cannot do that. [laughs] you are not qualified. >> that is exactly right. there has to be a winnowing of anybody and everybody that may want to file for office. but i think the important thing to emphasize here is that this is a disqualification set forth specifically in the united states constitution. >> yep. >> a disqualification to address the kind of situation that we saw on january 6th. and granted, it was enacted originally after the civil war. but what we saw on january 6th and surrounding it, including the acti
