Thank you to Congressman Wiley Nickel, host Pat Timmons Goodson, and everyone who came out to support the official launch of our campaign for Congress. The energy in the room was incredible! This race is just beginning, and with this kind of support, I know we’re building something powerful together

It's official! Fired up? Sign up or donate: kimberlyhardyforcongress.com

It was so great to be joined by longtime friends in Fayetteville on #FilingDay

The journey begins..... #FilingDay

A Raleigh suburb wants a 4x 📈in the water it gets from the Cape Fear & doesn't put back. That would be devastating for ~1,000,000 people across our region: farmers, small businesses, and everyone who pays a water bill. Six million gallons of water a day = OUR shared future.

From my family to yours, thank you. Thank you for believing in this campaign, for showing up, for sharing your stories, and for reminding me every day what service truly means. This season is about gratitude—and I’m so grateful for YOU. Happy Thanksgiving, NC-07. 🍂✨

The Lumbee Tribe is the largest Native American tribe east of the Mississippi River—right here in our region. Their rich history and vibrant culture are a proud part of southeastern North Carolina. Visit their website to learn more about their history and traditions here: www.lumbeetribe.com

Many congratulations to E.E. Smith's very own Raqi Barnett for receiving this statewide recognition! www.cityviewnc.com/stories/e-e-...

Today is an important step toward transparency and justice.

The federal government does not have a direct voice in picking a school’s curriculum. This does not mean the role of Congress is not important to help protect our public schools. 🧵

The Waccamaw Siouan Tribe, rooted in Southeastern NC, has called the Buckhead community home for centuries honoring its vibrant traditions like the annual Powwow. This Native American Heritage Month, we celebrate their culture and contributions. ✨ Visit their website waccamaw-siouan.org

Following the longest shutdown in U.S. history, the federal workforce is now trying to get back to at least some sense of normalcy. federalnewsnetwork.com/government-s...

It was a full house at Solar Brewing in Brunswick County! The energy was electric as supporters came together, fired up for 2026. 💙 I’m so inspired by the passion and belief in what we can accomplish together. We’re building a movement for change — and I’m ready to fight for the people of NC-07! 🌊

Those who answer the call to serve our country, and their families, should be cared for. Homelessness, underfunded healthcare, and limited post-service work opportunities are unacceptable realities that our service members face following discharge. 🧵

Honoring all who served today. Happy Veterans Day!

52 days without votes OR public events. You deserve a representative who SHOWS UP!

As a social worker, I have spent my career equipping people in poverty with tools to pursue a better life. 🧵

Townhalls are the heartbeat of democracy, which is why I was happy to attend community conversations event in Columbus County. These conversations help bridge divides, build trust & ensure that policies are shaped by the real needs & voices of the people-not by personal agendas or special interests.

Congratulations to everyone here in southeastern North Carolina who ran for elected office. It takes vision, sweat, and heart to put your name on the ballot. I am inspired by everyone who has stepped up to serve their communities. 🧵

No party or politician has a monopoly on good ideas. When it comes to the cost of groceries, being able to afford a place to live, or other urgent needs for hard-working North Carolinians, I'm willing to work with anyone to find solutions.

Municipal elections are an opportunity for us to decide on the issues that are closest to home. Let's show up to the polls to make our voices heard.

Mr. Rouzer's been home for 40 days and 40 nights but still can't manage to hold a public event. You deserve better!

I recently attended a discussion in Brunswick county about PFAS and GenX, dangerous chemicals that have affected southeastern NC—As your congresswoman, I will work to strengthen environmental protections and hold companies that are contaminating our food and drinking water accountable.

I know what it's like when families don't have the resources they need to feed themselves. I have some more thoughts on this topic. Take a listen....

This is a court case I'm following closely. Food aid continued to go out during previous government shutdowns, there's no reason for this one to be different. www.wral.com/story/judge-...

184,000 of our neighbors will be hungry because of the gridlock in Washington. We need to come together as a community to support one another during this time, and as your representative, I will fight to ensure our hard working neighbors can keep their benefits and thrive when I am elected in 2026.

As your representative, I will protect Medicare and Medicaid and fight to keep health insurance premiums affordable and coverage meaningful.

I will UPLIFT our community colleges, regional public universities, and other community partners in creating, staffing, and improving innovation hubs and pre-apprenticeship programs that help people launch meaningful careers without taking on the cost of a four-year degree.

As your Congresswoman, I will always vote against legislation that undermines the wellbeing of our region.

I had a wonderful time connecting with voters at the annual Souls to the Polls event with the New Hanover County NAACP. Don't forget to get out there and vote! Our municipal elections are important.

I've been on the campaign trail for a few months now, folks are tired of feeling like their voices don't matter. Here is my latest newsletter with the details: mailchi.mp/a1b86de1f2c0...

I was so pleased to see my friend and North Carolina’s next Senator, Roy Cooper, at the State Fair. It is a joy to run alongside someone who shares my priority to lower costs and deliver for hardworking North Carolinians.

When I worked as a school social worker, I saw firsthand how hunger impacts children and families. I encourage folks to share this resource in case SNAP benefits lapse at the end of the month due to the government shutdown: www.findhelp.org

Here are things the North Carolina legislature isn’t doing this week

We are nearing the longest government shutdown now that we are on day 22. To date, 900,000 people have been furloughed, and many are at risk of losing their benefits. We need to do better to work together. I am angry and you should be too.

We deserve an orderly budget process, one that isn't subject to the whims of unelected bureaucrats. apnews.com/article/head...

WHAT A DAY 💙 First was the North Carolina Democratic Party Redistricting Rally in Raleigh with leaders at every level followed by staffing the NCDP booth at the State Fair with Dorian Palmer. Keep fighting!!

No Kings Rally at Pender County- Thank you to all who were present who reminded us that we are not alone in this fight for democracy. #NoKings #WeThePeople #NC07

Thank you, Wilmington, NC for reinvigorating our community at the No Kings Rally. The statement that we are powerful when we come together was ever-present throughout this event. #NoKings #WeThePeople #NC07

Port City Daily covered the No Kings Rally where I shared “they don’t want us to have healthcare we can actually afford, while our taxpayer dollars take care of their healthcare. That is ridiculous and unconscionable.” Learn more about the rally here: portcitydaily.com/latest-news/...

To all who celebrate - wishing you a Happy Diwali!!

He's still getting paid, too.

You are not alone. We can work together to make a difference! #NoKings #WeThePeople #NC07 #ncpol

Maybe your house hasn’t moved in the last 10 years, but your Congressional district has. Five times in a decade.

I had a great time at the Columbus County Agriculture Fair. It was a lively celebration of local heritage, farming, and community spirit. From the demolition derby to family-friendly attractions and pageants, it’s a fun-filled event that captures the heart of our small-town NC experience
