Statement by Mark Meadows on Hillary Clinton's Visit to NC | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Raleigh, NC -

• "Hillary Clinton has a lot of explaining to do in North Carolina. Voters deserve to know why she plans to double down on Obamacare even though our rates increase by 40% next year and more insurers are leaving the marketplace. Voters also deserve to know the truth about the FBI reopening its investigation into her conduct at the State Department. Despite these pressing matters, we will only get more of the same with Hillary Clinton. She will attack the FBI for doing its job, and she will proclaim Obamacare to be a great accomplishment. That is why North Carolina will vote for change on November 8th. Donald Trump will drain the swamp of corruption in Washington, repeal Obamacare, and get our economy moving again. When North Carolina helps send Donald Trump to the White House, we will Make America Great Again." - U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC)
