Cawthorn cares only about Cawthorn To the Editor: In the six weeks since being sworn in as North Carolina’s new 11th District representative in Congress, Madison Cawthorn has voted against direct cash payments to his constituents and against financial support for apprenticeship programs at local community colleges. These are two votes that really would have helped people in Western North Carolina. Cawthorn said that his office would prioritize communications rather than work on legislation that would help folks in WNC. Wait, what? Cawthorn spends lots of time on TV talking about issues that have nothing to do with WNC.
