Campaign priorities & governance: “Together, we can create an affordable place to live with a government that fights for us, not the lobbyists in Raleigh. But I can't do it without your support!” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
Public education & schools: “"Most teachers can relate to the idea that we are the first responders for students and their families. I have had hundreds of parents approach me about the need for social services, access to food stamps, or basic requests like school supplies for their children. Regardless of party or political beliefs, I have fought for every single one of my students and their families, because we all deserve a shot at the American Dream.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
Public education & schools: “I have also seen the shortcomings of our political system locally and across the state. Families are choosing between their electric bill and putting food on the table. The lack of investment in public education and other services is unacceptable. The gap between the haves and the have-nots is widening at an alarming rate, and much of this is due to our failed leadership right here in Alamance County and at the General Assembly.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
