Congressman Don Davis

We’re building a stronger future in eastern NC!

Friday in the First

Alexander Zipko is a student at Northern Nash High School in Rocky Mount, NC. He was asked to volunteer 10 hours for Project Built for Honor, but ended up volunteering over 50 hours of his time to honor our veterans.

Alexander volunteered with Project Build for Honor to help restore VFW Post 2057. Alexander, along with Ride of Honor and other volunteers from the community, worked to restore the VFW Post so our veterans would have a place to continue to use as their own.

Alexander Zipko is a great example for his fellow students at Northern Nash High School and other young people in eastern North Carolina. Thank you for your time and efforts to honor our veterans. I look forward to watching you in the years to come.

Downtown Wilson is growing and bringing more opportunities to the community.

We are so excited for the new Home2 Suites by Hilton, overlooking the Wilson Warbirds’ baseball field. It is another great option for travelers coming to Wilson for a baseball game, shopping at local businesses, dining at restaurants, and exploring all that Wilson has to offer. It's official! The first guests have checked in and are spending the night.

The launch of the North Carolina Maritime Manufacturing Initiative at Elizabeth City State University included a powerful listening session and a very packed house of educators, workforce representatives, the U.S. Coast Guard, and leaders of many industries looking to grow shipbuilding and other defense manufacturing, create good-paying jobs, and prepare more North Carolinians for careers in these important fields.

Thanks to Chancellor Hargrove and everyone else who shared their thoughts, experiences, and commitments. Northeastern NC has a rich maritime history and an even better future ahead.

Happy Election Day, eastern North Carolina! 🇺🇸
