Campaign priorities & governance: “I was born and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina, the fourth child of five born to Ruth Marguerite Rogers, a waitress, and Samuel Penn Carver, a building contractor. During WWII my mother worked in a defense plant in Baltimore and my father served in the Navy in the European theatre.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Public education & schools: “My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a radical mastectomy in 1973. I was 15 years old when my mom passed away and I had just started my junior year of high school. Within four months of my mom's passing I was living on my own with a fellow classmate living in a trailer, where I continued to attend school and work at a local car wash to support myself.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Public education & schools: “After graduating from high school at 17 I went to work at Kelly-Springfield Tire Company, a subsidiary of Goodyear Tire and Rubber.
