North Carolina State House District 43

Public education & schools: “Fully Fund Public Education Every child deserves access to a strong public education, no matter their ZIP code. I will fight to fully fund our public schools, increase teacher and staff pay, expand school resources, and ensure students have access to counselors, social workers, career pathways, and safe learning environments. Public education is the foundation of opportunity, and North Carolina must stop shifting resources away from the schools that serve the majority of our children.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))

Taxes, budget & cost of living: “I am personally passionate about strengthening public education and ensuring underserved communities receive the resources, respect, and representation they deserve. Every child should have access to fully funded schools, qualified teachers, support staff, counselors, social workers, safe facilities, and real pathways to success. I am also committed to fighting for communities that have been overlooked for too long, including rural areas and working families who need better access to healthcare, housing, clean water, transportation, jobs, and economic opportunity.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))

Taxes, budget & cost of living: “North Carolina’s greatest challenges include fully funding public education, addressing the rising cost of living, expanding affordable housing, protecting clean water, and improving access to healthcare. We must also make sure rural and underserved communities receive fair investment. If we do not address these issues now, the gap between those who have resources and those who do not will continue to grow.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2026))

Economy & Taxes: “As a small business owner and advocate for the taxpayer, I am committed to fiscal responsibility and budgetary accountability.” (Campaign website)
