CORNELIUS, N.C. — Congressman Tim Moore addressed several key issues Thursday afternoon as he celebrated the opening of his new congressional office in Mecklenburg County.

Key Topics Addressed by Congressman Moore
Federal Disaster Relief for Western North Carolina
Moore provided assurances that federal disaster relief for western North Carolina will not be affected, despite potential funding cuts at the office responsible for recovery efforts.
“I have regular communication with my colleagues in the House on the appropriations side, also with the President on this, and there is an absolute commitment to make sure resources are delivered,” Moore stated. “Not only funds, not only the money, but also regulatory relief.”
Ukraine-Russia Conflict and U.S. Involvement
Regarding the escalating tensions between President Trump and the Ukrainian government, Moore commented on the U.S. approach to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
“I believe that Putin needs to be checked in terms of his aggression,” he said. “I don’t pretend to know the inner workings of what the President is looking to do. I do sense that the President wants to see peace come about and may be the one to be able to broker that… I think if you’re going to be able to negotiate any kind of peace, you’ve got to be able to talk to both sides, and both sides have to be able to trust you.”
Controversial White House Social Media Post
A recent White House social media post featuring President Trump on a magazine cover wearing a crown with the caption, “Congestion pricing is dead. Manhattan, and all of New York, is saved. Long live the king!” has gained attention.
“I haven’t even seen that quote,” said Moore. “I mean, clearly, we don’t have royalty in America, but I do applaud the President and the job he is doing.”
Protests Outside the Cornelius Town Hall
While Moore’s office opening was underway, about a hundred protesters gathered outside holding signs with messages such as “Don’t sell out Ukraine” and “Your oath is to the Constitution, not Trump/Musk.”
Expanding Constituent Services Across the Charlotte Region
To better serve residents of North Carolina’s 14th Congressional District, Moore is establishing multiple satellite offices. His Gastonia office is located at 128 W. Main Ave., while the newly opened Cornelius office is in Room 110 of Cornelius Town Hall. Additional offices will be announced in the coming weeks.
For assistance, constituents can call 980-460-8110 to be connected to the appropriate office.
Conclusion
Congressman Tim Moore’s new office in Mecklenburg County marks a significant step in his commitment to serving North Carolinians. As he navigates key issues such as disaster relief, foreign policy, and political controversies, his efforts to maintain direct communication with constituents remain a priority. With additional offices opening soon, residents in the 14th District will have more opportunities to engage with their representative and seek support for their concerns.
