“The basic duty of a legislature is to pass a budget. The North Carolina legislature is derelict in its duties and over a year late. Instead of fulfilling its primary role the house has instead been focusing on culture war nonsense while failing its constituents. When I am elected publishing a budget so the taxpayer can see where their money goes is my first priority.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026)) “When I am elected, I will tirelessly strive to make North Carolina public schools the best in the nation. This will necessitate increasing the compensation for teachers and school service personnel, investing in our community college’s capabilities, and increasing the corporate tax rate to fund it.”
