Public education & schools: “Everyone who works hard deserves dignity, fair pay, and a real opportunity to build a stable life. Yet too many families in Southern and Southeast Raleigh feel left behind as our city grows. Prosperity must reach every corner of District 33 — not just a select few neighborhoods. I will fight to expand well-paying jobs for every education level, invest intentionally in underserved communities, and support small businesses by cutting red tape and lowering barriers to entry.”
