## Resource

North Carolina lawmakers are set to rename a stretch of N.C. 16 after former Rep. Patrick McHenry, who recently stepped down from Congress after 20 years — including his historic 22-day stint as interim House speaker following McCarthy’s ousting. His viral gavel bang and national spotlight didn’t lead to a permanent speakership, but his legacy is now being honored on a highway through his home county. The proposal is part of a state budget headed to Governor Josh Stein.
