Rep. McDowell, Sen. Moran Introduce Bipartisan Resolution Recognizing Red Ribbon Week

Position: The release recognizes Red Ribbon Week, a national drug prevention program, and expresses support for drug prevention education, law enforcement resources, and efforts to combat illicit drugs.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Addison McDowell (NC-06) and U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) introduced resolutions recognizing Red Ribbon Week from October 23 to October 31, 2026. Red Ribbon Week is the nation's largest and longest-running drug prevention program. It raises awareness of the dangers of illicit drugs, promotes drug prevention efforts, and recognizes the law enforcement officers who work to keep communities across the country safe. “I lost my little brother Luke to fentanyl, and I know firsthand the devastating toll these deadly drugs take on families,” said Rep. McDowell. “Red Ribbon Week is an important reminder that prevention starts with education, strong families, and supporting the men and women in law enforcement who work every day to keep our communities safe. We owe it to the next generation to do everything we can to prevent another family from experiencing that same heartbreak mine did.” “Drug overdoses remain a leading cause of death in our nation, underscoring the importance of investing in efforts to fight illicit drugs and raise awareness about the dangers of drug use,” said Sen. Moran. “Red Ribbon Week provides the opportunity to educate others on the risks of illicit drugs, support prevention efforts and recognize the law enforcement officers who work every day to keep Kansans safe. I will continue working to combat illegal drugs and make certain that law enforcement is equipped with the resources needed to protect our communities and stem the flow of illegal drugs.” Background: Established nationally in 1988 by the National Family Partnership, Red Ribbon Week honors the memory of Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) special agent murdered in 1985 while working to combat illicit drug trafficking. Today, Red Ribbon Week serves as a nationwide call to action, encouraging families, schools, and communities to educate young Americans about the dangers of drug use and promote drug-free lifestyles.

McDowell Leads Bipartisan FISA AI Reporting Act to Increase Oversight of Artificial Intelligence Use Under FISA

Position: The release describes a bipartisan bill requiring the Director of National Intelligence to report to Congress on the intelligence community's use of artificial intelligence with data collected under Section 702 of FISA, including safeguards for Fourth Amendment rights. The sponsors state that Congress should have oversight and transparency over federal AI use.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Congressman Addison McDowell (NC-06) introduced a bipartisan bill with Congressman James Walkinshaw (VA-11) to direct the intelligence community to report to Congress on how it uses artificial intelligence with data collected under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, including which systems are being used and what safeguards are in place to protect Americans’ Fourth Amendment rights. “Artificial intelligence is changing the way industries across our country are collecting and analyzing information,” Congressman McDowell said. “Congress has a responsibility to ensure these tools strengthen our national security while protecting the constitutional rights and freedoms that define our Nation.” "Congress must have strong oversight and transparency over federal AI use,” Congressman Walkinshaw said. “When intelligence agencies use AI to analyze sensitive communications and data, Congress needs to know how they use it and for what purpose. Our laws and oversight must keep pace with the technology." What the FISA AI Reporting Act does: Requires the Director of National Intelligence to submit a report to Congress within 180 days on the intelligence community’s use of artificial intelligence systems under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Requires the report to include: A summary of how the intelligence community is using artificial intelligence systems to acquire, analyze, query, disseminate or otherwise access data under Section 702. An assessment of safeguards in place to ensure the use of artificial intelligence complies with FISA and the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Information submitted by the Department of Justice or intelligence community to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court regarding the use of artificial intelligence under Section 702. An identification of the types of artificial intelligence models being used under Section 702. Allows the report to include a classified annex. Requires the Director of National Intelligence to coordinate with the Attorney General, CIA Director, FBI Director, NSA Director, and other relevant intelligence community officials in preparing the report. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), first enacted in 1978, sets out the legal framework for the government’s collection of foreign intelligence information, including electronic surveillance, physical searches, the use of pen registers and trap and trace devices, and business records. Section 702 of FISA allows the government to conduct targeted surveillance of foreign persons located outside the United States to obtain foreign intelligence information, with the compelled assistance of electronic communication service providers.

McDowell’s Bipartisan Foreign Robocall Elimination Act Advances Through House Subcommittee

Position: The release supports the Foreign Robocall Elimination Act, which would create an interagency task force with federal and private-sector representatives to identify and combat illegal robocalls originating overseas. The release frames the bill as a measure to protect seniors and Americans from scams seeking sensitive personal and financial information.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, Congressman Addison McDowell's Bipartisan Foreign Robocall Elimination Act advanced through the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology. McDowell introduced the House companion to Senators Ted Budd (R-NC) and Peter Welch’s (D-VT) legislation. The legislation brings together experts from the federal government and private sector to identify and combat illegal robocalls originating overseas. “I continuously hear about bad actors targeting seniors through robocalls. Foreign scammers are trying to steal Social Security numbers, bank information, and any other sensitive information they can get their hands on,” said Rep. Addison McDowell. “The financial security of the American people is extremely important, and Congress cannot ignore this threat. I’m encouraged that the Foreign Robocall Elimination Act has advanced through the subcommittee, and I look forward to getting it through the full Energy and Commerce Committee.” "USTelecom applauds the House Communications and Technology Subcommittee for advancing the Foreign Robocall Elimination Act. Every day, the Industry Traceback Group, in its role as the FCC’s registered traceback consortium, traces illegal robocalls to their source. This bill would build on that work by strengthening traceback efforts against illegal robocalls entering the United States from abroad, including those used to perpetrate scams. We thank Reps. McDowell and Morrison for their leadership and urge Congress to move this legislation swiftly so it can be signed into law,” said Brandon Heiner, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs at USTelecom, The Broadband Association. Background: Millions of Americans are targeted by scam calls each month by bad actors seeking to gain access to individuals’ Social Security Numbers, banking information, or other sensitive information. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has previously estimated that eliminating illegal scam robocalls would provide a public benefit of billions of dollars annually. Legislation like the Pallone-Thune TRACED Act, which was signed into law in 2019, empowered the FCC and telecommunications companies to implement call authentication technologies that could more easily identify and trace back illegal, spoofed calls. This bill builds on the TRACED Act’s success by continuing to harden our telecommunications infrastructure against foreign scammers. In the Senate, this effort is led by Senators Ted Budd (R-NC) and Peter Welch (D-VT). What the Foreign Robocall Elimination Act does: Creates an interagency task force comprised of federal agency representatives and seven private sector representatives. The federal agency participants shall be determined jointly by the FCC, FTC, and the Attorney General. Of the private sector representatives: Three must have experience in combating unlawful robocalls One must be from the U.S. Traceback Consortium One must be from a telemarketing business One must be from a nonprofit that primarily uses telephone communication One must be from a customer advocate organization that specializes in combating unlawful robocalls Requires the task force to report to the administration and to Congress on suggested ways to improve the federal response to unlawful robocalls made by foreign scammers Requires the task force to evaluate ways for the DOJ to improve law enforcement’s response to and prevention of unlawful robocalls Strengthens the TRACED Act by extending the Industry Traceback Group’s (ITG) renewal period from 1 to 3 years and provides further protections for the ITG to go after illegal robocallers. Allows for a rulemaking so the FCC can consider the introduction of a bond to increase the costs to fraudulent providers who violate the Robocall Mitigation Database. The Foreign Robocall Elimination Act now advances to the full House Energy and Commerce Committee for consideration.

McDowell Leads Resolution Honoring Gulf War-Era Veterans and Fifth Anniversary of Afghanistan Evacuation

Position: The release announces a House resolution honoring Gulf War-era veterans and commemorating the fifth anniversary of the Afghanistan evacuation, and urges House members to support H. Res. 1496.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Addison McDowell (NC-06) introduced a resolution honoring the millions of American veterans who served during the Gulf War era and commemorating five years since the evacuation of Afghanistan. Approximately 8.4 million veterans served during the Gulf War era, representing roughly 43 percent of all living American veterans and making them the largest single group of living veterans. “Gulf War-era veterans answered the call to defend our country, confront terrorism, and protect freedom around the world,” said Congressman McDowell. “For more than three decades, they have stood in defense of our nation through war, terrorism, and uncertainty. We are a safer and stronger nation because of their courage and sacrifice. Five years after the evacuation of Afghanistan, we honor their service and reaffirm a simple promise: America will never forget those who stood in her defense.” For more than three decades, members of the United States Armed Forces have served across the Middle East to defend our Nation and its allies. The Gulf War era began with Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1990 and 1991, when American service members liberated Kuwait from Iraqi occupation. They later served in Operation Enduring Freedom to dismantle al-Qaeda, Operation Iraqi Freedom to overthrow the Ba’athist government of Saddam Hussein, and Operation Inherent Resolve in response to the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. “The National Guard remains an essential component of America's Total Force. Thousands of Guardsmen continue to support missions at home and abroad, carrying forward the legacy established by those who served throughout the Gulf War era. This resolution sends an important message that Congress remembers their service, honors their sacrifices, and remains committed to supporting veterans and military families,” said Jon “Ice” Eisberg, Vice President of Government Affairs at the National Guard Association of the United States. “NGAUS thanks Representative McDowell for his leadership on this resolution and urges all Members of the House of Representatives to support H. Res. 1496 to join in recognizing the dedication and courage of Gulf War era veterans. Passage of this resolution will ensure that the service of this generation is properly remembered and that their contributions to our nation's security are never forgotten.” Tomorrow, August 28, 2026, also marks five years since the evacuation of Afghanistan. Among those remembered are the 13 American service members killed in the terrorist attack at Abbey Gate on August 26, 2021, and all those who sacrificed throughout the Gulf War era. American service in the region continues today, as tens of thousands of members of the Armed Forces remain in the Middle East protecting the United States and its allies from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Original Cosponsors: Rep. Jim Baird (IN-04) , Rep. Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06), Rep. Matt Van Epps (TN-07) and Rep. Derrick Van Orden (WI-03). Read the full bill text here.

McDowell Leads Letter Calling on DOJ to Investigate Potential Logan Act Violations by New York City Mayor's Office

Position: Congressman McDowell and 13 other Members of Congress called on the Department of Justice to investigate whether officials in New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration violated the Logan Act through unauthorized communications with Iran during U.S.-Iran negotiations.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Addison McDowell led a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche calling on the Department of Justice to investigate whether officials in New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Administration violated the Logan Act by engaging in unauthorized communications with the Islamic Republic of Iran. “Undermining national security has serious risks, and the mayor of New York should know better than to meddle in our foreign affairs during the height of negotiations between the White House and Iran,” Congressman McDowell said. “The Department of Justice needs to look into Mamdani's office and ensure they are not acting as rogue agents to the detriment of America's national security. Mamdani does not speak for America. President Trump earned the public's trust to ensure the safety and security of the United States.” According to reporting by the New York Post, New York City Commissioner for International Affairs Ana María Archila scheduled a meeting with Iran's Ambassador to the United Nations, Amir-Saeid Iravani, before the State Department intervened and the meeting was canceled. The Logan Act prohibits unauthorized American citizens from negotiating with foreign governments on behalf of the United States. The letter asks the Department of Justice to investigate whether Commissioner Archila, acting on behalf of Mayor Mamdani, engaged in any unlawful communications or activity involving the Iranian government. Congressman McDowell was joined by 13 Members of Congress in sending the letter to Acting Attorney General Blanche. The signatories include: Lauren Boebert (CO-04), Earl. L. "Buddy" Carter (GA-01), Pat Fallon (TX-04), Randy Fine (FL-06), Clay Fuller (GA-14), Pat Harrigan (NC-10), Wesley Hunt (TX-38), Rich McCormick (GA-07), Max L. Miller (OH-07), Riley M.

Position: The release supports extending federal expenditure deadlines for ARPA-funded broadband infrastructure projects so states and localities can complete work already underway, including State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds through September 30, 2027 and the Capital Projects Fund through January 1, 2028.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Yesterday, June 29th, Congressman Addison McDowell (NC-06) introduced the Broadband Infrastructure Extension Act. This legislation would extend expenditure deadlines for certain broadband infrastructure projects funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The legislation provides states and local communities additional time to complete broadband projects already underway, helping ensure rural communities are not forced to abandon critical infrastructure investments because of federal deadlines. Broadband has become an essential part of modern infrastructure, and it is vital that rural communities have the time and resources they need to get brought up to speed,” Congressman McDowell said. “Rural communities are putting money to work, and Congress has an obligation to ensure arbitrary deadlines do not stand in the way of progress. Overall this is a very commonsense action the government can take to give states and communities the time they need to deliver internet access to families, schools and businesses.” Original Cosponsors: Rep. Chuck Edwards (NC-11) and Rep. Tim Moore (NC-14). The Broadband Infrastructure Extension Act extends the expenditure deadlines for broadband-related State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds through September 30, 2027, and the Capital Projects Fund through January 1, 2028.

Congressman McDowell and Congresswoman Bice Introduce Pregnancy Loss Mental Health Research Act

Position: The release supports introducing federal legislation to direct NIH and NIMH to expand research on mental health complications following pregnancy loss and to make women who experienced pregnancy loss eligible for maternal mental health grant programs and expanded screening, treatment, and counseling services.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Addison McDowell (NC-06) and Congresswoman Stephanie Bice (OK-05) introduced the Pregnancy Loss Mental Health Research Act of 2026, to bring pregnancy loss in focus for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by expanding federal research and mental health support services for women and families who experience pregnancy loss. The Pregnancy Loss Mental Health Research Act of 2026 directs the NIH in coordination with the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to expand research efforts with respect to clinical mental health complications following a pregnancy loss, putting it on the same playing field as other mental health treatment and research efforts. The bill also makes women who have experienced pregnancy loss eligible for existing maternal mental health grant programs and supports expanded screening, diagnosis, treatment, and counseling services. “It’s difficult to discuss the uniquely devastating grief that comes with the loss of a baby. This issue is deeply personal to my wife Rachel and me and to the thousands of couples who face this tragedy head-on with little resources or knowledge of how to best navigate the horrors that come following the loss of their baby. We can do better to understand the post-trauma response and improve treatment and care for those who are suffering,” said Congressman Addison McDowell. “ I am proud to champion this legislation with Congresswoman Bice to properly direct resources that will have a direct and lasting impact on grieving families.” "Losing a baby is heart wrenching and affects millions of women. It can also lead to long-term effects on the families, who should not have to go through grief without support. This is why I’m proud to co-lead the Pregnancy Loss Mental Health Research Act alongside my friend Rep. McDowell. This bill is an important step toward providing parity in mental health research and services available for women who have experienced pregnancy loss," said Congresswoman Stephanie Bice. The legislation is supported by organizations including American Principles Project, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America and the Family Research Council. “Every instance of pregnancy loss is the loss of an unborn child that can seriously impact mothers and their mental health -- no matter how the unborn child may have died. This legislation takes important steps to study the complex mental health complications that come with losing an unborn child and support the critical need for mental health services to help mothers who are experiencing these complications. We applaud Rep. McDowell and Rep. Bice for recognizing and addressing this heavy and often silent burden that many mothers face each day.” - Hon. Marilyn Musgrave, Vice President of Government Affairs for Susan B. Anthony Pro-life America. “Every pregnancy carries a unique human life, and when that life is lost, moms, dads, and families need real mental health support. They should never have to carry that grief alone. Congressman McDowell’s Pregnancy Loss Mental Health Act will provide vital support to grieving parents when they need it most.” - Terry Schilling, President, American Principles Project "Every mother and father knows the death of an unborn child--regardless of the circumstances--is painful and tragic. Mothers and fathers of babies who have never taken a breath outside the womb often grieve in silence, as few who have not experienced this pain understand it. The mental health impact of the death of an unborn child cannot be overstated, and I am grateful for Congressman McDowell's efforts that will further the cause of recognizing the humanity of each unborn child and the impact that child had on the world. My hope is that this legislation will help parents cope with the suffering that accompanies the death of an unborn child.” - Mary Szoch, Director of the Center for Human Dignity, Family Research Council What the Pregnancy Loss Mental Health Research Act does: Directs the NIH in coordination with the National Institute of Mental Health to expand research efforts with respect to clinical mental health complications following a pregnancy loss, including by: Conducting a longitudinal study to determine the prevalence of mental health complications, symptoms, and severity in order to improve diagnostic techniques Coordinating with other national research institutes and agencies to identify appropriate mental health treatment, including information and education programs for health care professionals and the public Amends Section 317 of the Public Health Services Act to allow women who have experienced a pregnancy loss to be applicable for mental health grants which are currently available to pregnant and postpartum mothers Allows states to make subgrants under this section for entities that provide mental health services to individuals following a pregnancy loss, including screening, diagnosis, and treatment of clinical mental health conditions Clarifies that entities that perform abortions or furnish funds to any other entity that performs abortions are ineligible for these grants Find the full bill text here.

McDowell’s Leadership Drives Change at FHFA to Keep American Dream Within Reach of Millions

Position: Congressman McDowell supports FHFA's decision to allow Actual Cash Value homeowners insurance policies for federally backed mortgages instead of requiring full Replacement Cost Value coverage, arguing this reduces insurance premiums and makes homeownership more affordable for families.

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Addison McDowell applauds the action from Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte and the Trump Administration to address federal guidance that had limited consumer choice in homeowners insurance and increased entry level costs for families seeking to buy a home. The action follows a letter led by McDowell and cosigned by over forty-five House Republicans urging FHFA to revisit guidance that restricted Actual Cash Value (ACV) homeowners insurance policies for federally backed mortgages. The prior policy required full Replacement Cost Value (RCV) coverage, which industry experts warned significantly raised insurance premiums and risked pricing many families out of the housing market. “We should be doing everything in our power to make homeownership attainable - especially in rural towns," McDowell said. “I commend Director Pulte and the Trump Administration’s action in restoring common-sense consumer choice to the housing market.” The National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies praised Congressman McDowell for his leadership to keep the American dream of homeownership within reach of millions. “Consumers deserve a market for insurance that offers them any number of products designed to meet their needs and their budgets. NAMIC thanks Congressman McDowell for his strong leadership and tireless resolve in pushing back against this costly coverage mandate to keep the dream of home ownership within reach for millions of Americans.” – Jimi Grande, NAMIC SVP – Federal & Political Affairs FHFA Director Pulte released the following quote following the removal of certain homeowner insurance requirements. “Thanks to President Trump’s landslide victory, we are replacing a disruptive and expensive Biden insurance mandate with commonsense policies for today’s market,” said FHFA Director William J. Pulte. “Lower insurance costs and mortgage rates shrink the monthly payment of a new mortgage, giving new homebuyers confidence that they can afford the American dream.” Read the full copy of the letter here. ###
