Congresswoman Kathy Manning, representing North Carolina’s 6th district, has recently made several statements on social media addressing key issues affecting her constituents. Manning, who succeeded Mark Walker in 2021, has been active in highlighting electoral processes and policy concerns.

On October 31, 2024, Manning emphasized the importance of mail-in voting for North Carolinians in the upcoming election. She stated that "Hundreds of thousands of NC voters are expected to cast their vote by mail in this election. That’s why I’m leading a letter with my NC Democratic colleagues to call on @USPS to take extraordinary measures to ensure North Carolinians' absentee ballots are received without delay." The congresswoman's appeal underscores her commitment to ensuring that all votes are counted efficiently and accurately. "Original quotation"

On November 1, 2024, she reminded residents of her district about the deadline for early voting. Manning tweeted: "ATTN #NC06: In-person early voting ends tomorrow at 3:00 pm. Find early voting sites and schedules in your county ⬇️" This message aimed to encourage voter participation by providing essential information about where and when citizens could vote ahead of Election Day.

Later that day, Manning addressed potential policy changes proposed by Donald Trump under Project 2025. She expressed concern over its impact on women's health services: "Donald Trump’s extreme Project 2025 plans would target emergency contraception coverage, leaving over 1.5 MILLION women in NC without guaranteed access to free emergency contraception." Her statement highlights a significant issue affecting many women in North Carolina regarding access to healthcare services. "Original quotation"
