UPDATE: NC House District 9

NC House Passes Budget Update

Although we were not able to get an agreement in place with the Senate on a full budget, we were able to make sure that funding for public schools, school choice, teacher pay, and other projects were provided for. I hope that in the coming months, we will be able to agree with the Senate on a full budget that puts our citizens in the best possible scenarios.

Rep. Reeder Visited by ECU Dental Students

Rep. Reeder was visited at the General Assembly this month by a group of students from the ECU School of Dental Medicine. Chancellor Phillip Rogers also joined the students on their visit. "I love engaging students in the legislative process and teaching them advocacy skills." Rep. Reeder said.

Meeting with Constituents

"I had the great honor to welcome students from the Brody School of Medicine. These students participate in a program that teaches advocacy and leadership. During their visit they shared health policy opinions with legislators and learned the importance of advocating for their profession." - Rep. Reeder.
