Families across the nation have a new resource available to them thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts Act: Trump Investment Accounts. These accounts are tax-advantaged investment accounts for U.S. citizens under the age of 18. With this early leg up, American families can help plan and start their children’s financial future. This is an amazing opportunity, and one that you do not want to miss.

Here are a handful of facts directly from the White House that detail how these investment accounts will help American families and future generations grow and thrive:

• These accounts are entirely FREE to set up and are available for all U.S. children who have a valid social security number and are under the age of 18.
  
• Trump Investment Accounts feature a pilot program contribution of $1,000 for children born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028.
  
• Over 50 companies have committed to offering Trump Investment Account contributions to their employees’ children.
  
• 86% of new Trump Investment Accounts are linked to families that are earning less than $200,000 annually.
  
• Parents have the opportunity to contribute $5,000 a year to these accounts, and employers can contribute up to $2,500 per year, subject to the $5,000 per year contribution limit.
  
• With the new Trump Investment Accounts app, parents can monitor their child’s balance to track their contributions grow over time.

Again, this is an important opportunity to set your child’s financial future on solid footing, and I would highly encourage you to take full advantage of this program. I’m so pleased to see the continued impact of the Working Families Tax Cuts Act following its passage last year and the nearly 22-hour Rules Committee meeting I led to consider it beforehand. With commonsense policies like the ones Republicans champion, the American people can grow, thrive, and flourish.

An Interesting Read

John Hood of the John Locke Foundation recently penned a new op-ed this week that I hope you will take the time to read through. In his piece, he discusses how many should take the time, and make the effort to, continue educating themselves on the importance of America’s 250^th anniversary. As I have detailed to you in past newsletters, North Carolina’s history in the founding of the nation is incredibly vast and deserves to be learned about and shared with others. That’s how the story of our Republic lives on – and it’s how we can continue to ensure that the freedoms and values that we hold dear can be passed on to future generations of proud Americans to come.

A Fraud Takedown

Health care fraud is being exposed and confronted on a large scale across the United States thanks to the continued efforts of President Trump, Vice President Vance, and the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud. Thus far, the 2026 National Health Care Fraud Takedown has identified health care fraud and abuse cases that amount to over $6.5 billion in false claims being filed to government health programs including Medicare and Medicaid. And yes, health care fraud is taking place in our very own state – it is an issue that affects everyone. This undertaking in exposing and confronting this kind of fraud on a large scale is truly monumental, and it is sorely overdue as well.
