Congresswoman Kathy Manning, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing North Carolina’s 6th district since 2021, shared several updates on social media addressing key issues and initiatives. Manning, a Harvard and University of Michigan alumna, utilized her platform to discuss matters affecting her constituents and broader societal concerns.

On October 1, 2024, Manning addressed the impact of Hurricane Helene on North Carolina farmers. She highlighted the urgent need for relief due to “immense losses” faced by the agricultural sector. Manning expressed pride in joining a bipartisan group advocating for disaster relief funding aimed at supporting agriculture in affected areas across the Southeast United States. “Hurricane Helene has left NC farmers facing immense losses, and the need for relief is urgent.”

In a tweet dated October 2, 2024, Congresswoman Manning emphasized the importance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. She encouraged regular screenings and urged others to do the same as a preventive measure that could potentially save lives. “October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”

Later that day, she commended the Biden-Harris Administration’s investment in enhancing security for Jewish organizations amid rising antisemitism through a $210 million allocation to the Nonprofit Security Grant program. Manning described this grant as an effective tool for protecting places of worship and Jewish organizations from threats. “The Nonprofit Security Grant is the most effective tool to protect Jewish organizations & places of worship from the alarming rise in antisemitism.”
