Taxes, budget & cost of living: “I believe in limited government that empowers individuals, not bureaucracies. The role of government is to protect our constitutional freedoms—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—while staying out of the way of hardworking Americans. I support eliminating excessive regulations, lowering taxes, and cutting wasteful spending to foster economic growth and fiscal responsibility.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Democracy, elections & governance: “Our citizens must have full trust in our elections. Guaranteeing that every legal vote is counted accurately and the will of the people is essential. I support voter ID and signature verification, transparent processes, and common-sense reforms that ensure fair, honest elections across North Carolina.”
(Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026)) Taxes, budget & cost of living: “Tax dollars don't belong to legislative bureaucrats, they belong to the people. As your next House Representative for District 55, I will always remember that tax money was earned by hard-working North Carolinians. Being fiscally responsible isn't just the prudent thing to do for our state economy; it's the moral thing to do.”
