North Carolina State House District 34

Public education & schools: “Support and fund our schools. I am a proud, lifelong product of North Carolina public schools. As the son of a public-school teacher, I know that strong, well-funded public schools are the foundation not only of our children’s futures, but of our state’s future. Great public schools start with a great teacher in every classroom, but Republicans have refused to pay teachers what they deserve, resulting in a teacher shortage. I support raising teacher pay to above the national average to recruit and retain the best teachers for North Carolina.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2022))

Public education & schools: “I am personally passionate about education, voting rights, and taking action to protect our climate and natural resources. As the son of a public-school teacher and a proud product of NC public schools from kindergarten through Carolina Law, I know what strong public schools can do for our children and our state's future. A strong public school system the best investment our state can make. During law school, I fought for voting rights and ensuring fair representation. I will defend voting rights as your representative.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2022))

Public education & schools: “We made a good move in the right direction toward parents’ right to choose their child’s school; I want to see that protected and expanded.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
