Public education & schools: “I come from a family of public educators, including my late mother Donna Thurman, my late uncle Leonard Arnold, and my sister Denise Thurman. Because of them, I understand that a quality public education requires quality teachers, administrators, and school staff. Unfortunately, the Republican-led General Assembly has left our state in terrible condition. They enacted drastic changes over the last decade which have left our school system severely weakened and underfunded.”

Taxes, budget & cost of living: “I advocate for the legalization of medical marijuana based on my experiences as a veteran. Having witnessed its efficacy in pain management, PTSD, and TBI treatment, I argue against criminal penalties for those seeking relief. The right to effective treatment should be prioritized without legal repercussions. In support of personal freedom, I back the legalization of recreational marijuana in North Carolina. Adults should have autonomy in making choices about substances they consume.”
