“I promise to stand up and represent all North Carolinians regardless of race, gender and sexual orientation. I’ill represent the people of North Carolina with fairness and dignity for all.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) “For too long, government has stood in the way of local business. While some regulations were imposed with good intent, most have hindered local small business and made the situation more difficult during this pandemic. I vow to reduce or eliminate any overstepping regulations which hinder our local small business owners.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) “I moved to North Carolina from Connecticut in 2003. After graduating from Johnson and Wales University in Norfolk, Va with a degree in culinary arts. I came to Raleigh looking for a career as a chef. As a young 24-year-old graduate, I had many lessons to learn about life and unfortunately learned some the hard way.”
