“If elected, I will make it my top priority to use all avenues available to address the economic hardship that many in our district are facing each day, with rising costs of gas, groceries, housing, and healthcare. And I will fight hard so that every person in our district has a fair chance to realize their goals and achieve success for themselves and their children.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) “The people of House District 1 need a Representative who will fight for budgets & policies that will address the real issues facing all of us — affordability of housing, healthcare, gas, utilities, & groceries — rather than someone who votes for whatever the leadership wants. I hear from many folks across the district hurting because of bad decisions made in DC —tariffs, war, & big cuts to SNAP & Medicaid about to hit. Folks are upset about the failure of Raleigh legislators to take action.”
