“I’m focused on building a rural economy that works for working people—not just large corporations or out-of-touch policies from Raleigh. That means investing in small businesses, supporting local agriculture, expanding workforce training, and bringing real economic development to Columbus and Robeson Counties. I believe every community should have the opportunity to grow from within, with good-paying jobs, infrastructure investment, and support for local entrepreneurs.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))
“North Carolina’s greatest challenges over the next decade include adapting to global shifts in supply chains, supporting innovation in agriculture, expanding access to affordable housing, and repairing aging infrastructure. We must also address rural healthcare access, workforce development, and disaster resilience as our state continues to grow. Meeting these challenges will require long-term investment in rural and urban communities alike, ensuring families have access to reliable services, economic opportunity, and safe places to live and work.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))
