Tune in here to this ​Tuesday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen concludes his “Freshman Congressman” series by speaking with U.S. Rep. Addison McDowell, who just surpassed one year representing the citizens of North Carolina’s 6th Congressional District. Similar to previous interviews, Jensen asks McDowell about his experiences during his first year in Congress. McDowell cites the voting on and passage of the Laken Riley Act, which occurred during his first month in office, as an early victory during his freshman term. When asked about the biggest moment of his first year, McDowell says being with President Donald Trump when the Fentanyl Act was signed into law was the highlight. On a local level, he discusses securing $3 million for a new health sciences center at Davidson-Davie Community College as another important achievement.

Later, Jensen asks McDowell about his thoughts on the recent ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. McDowell says the shooting in Minnesota shows that Democrats are “villainizing” law enforcement officers who are trying to carry out their jobs, and emphasizes the need to support the officers who work every day to keep American citizens safe.
