Congressman Brad Knott recently shared insights on various issues through a series of tweets, addressing concerns related to data privacy, local workforce achievements, and organized retail crime. These tweets provide a glimpse into the priorities and initiatives being pursued by Congressman Knott.

On June 6, 2025, Congressman Knott highlighted the importance of reviewing data collection and access policies by foreign governments. He emphasized that this scrutiny should extend to allies as well to protect Americans’ privacy. In his words, “In the age of global communication, we must closely review data collection and access policies of foreign governments, including our allies, to ensure Americans’ privacy is protected.”

Later that day, he acknowledged the contributions of healthcare professionals in North Carolina’s 13th district. During his visit to BDandCo in Four Oaks, he recognized their role in advancing medical technology. He tweeted on June 6, 2025: “Last week, it was my privilege to visit with the North Carolinians working at @BDandCo in Four Oaks, #NC13. These dedicated healthcare professionals drive breakthroughs in medical tech across the country and around the world from right here in #NC13.”

Furthermore, Congressman Knott addressed organized retail crime during an appearance on NCCapTonight with Tim Boyum. On June 6, 2025, he expressed concern about its impact on consumers and businesses alike. He stated: “I joined @NCCapTonight with @TimBoyumTV to discuss my push to crack down on organized retail crime (ORC). ORC affects everyone from law-abiding consumers to retailers and manufacturers. It costs us nearly $130 billion per year and is often linked to other crimes like human trafficking.”

Additional information for Step 3: Organized retail crime refers to large-scale theft or fraud operations within the retail sector that involve stealing significant quantities of goods.
