Public safety & justice: “I grew up hunting in Craven County, as have many of my lifelong friends. Although I have not hunted in many years I still enjoy shooting my guns at the range. I have been a member of the NRA for many years. The 2nd Amendment is a guaranteed right for law abiding citizens. I will always defend and protect the Second Amendment.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Jobs, economy & workforce: “I have spent my entire life swimming, skiing, boating, fishing, and crabbing on the Neuse and Trent Rivers. The rivers and creeks are important for our economy, and also for our heritage, and I mean for all of Craven County. If elected as your N.C. House representative, I will be a strong advocate for protecting our waterways. I believe we can protect our rivers and creeks without putting an undue hardship on business or agriculture.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Jobs, economy & workforce: “Transportation is economic development. As a businessman, a former member of the HWY 70 Commission, and former Chairman of the Metropolitan Planning and Transportation Organization, I certainly recognize this. During my tenure on the Board of Commission well over $500 Million was appropriated for road construction in Craven County. This took years of planning and advocating. Very little happens in your district without a strong voice advocating on your behalf.”
