Energy, environment & agriculture: “Securing Lower Future Power Bills: I worked on and supported the Power Bill Reduction Act, which caused Duke Energy to lower significantly its projection of energy-bill increases in its most recent resource plan.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Democracy, elections & governance: “Protecting Our Supply Chain: I co-sponsored a bipartisan bill signed into law by the Governor that fortifies our supply chain against bad actors by banning predatory towing and extortionate fees on commercial tractor-trailers. These fees are often passed onto consumers .”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Taxes, budget & cost of living: “These victories are a good start, but more work must be done. Property taxes are displacing long-term residents and veterans, and rising housing and health care costs are making home ownership unattainable for many younger North Carolinians. I will continue to advocate for measures that drive down costs for every family.”
