North Carolina State House District 76

Public education & schools: “I have consistently worked to bridge the gap between education and the modern workforce, including the ongoing efforts to expand technical training opportunities at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. I believe in economic development that is smart, sustainable, and respectful of our taxpayers.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Campaign priorities & governance: “My commitment to this district is personal. I have been married to my wonderful wife, Kim, for almost 38 years. We have raised three children here and are now enjoying the incredible joy of being grandparents to five. This is the place we call home, and it is the place I am fighting to improve and protect.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Energy, environment & agriculture: “As your representative in the NC House, I will bring the same energy, business experience and common sense government improvements to Raleigh that I have worked to bring to our community for the last 30 years. I have no interest in a career in politics; I am looking to continue my life’s work of serving this community and bringing hope and opportunity to our citizens, our children, and our grandchildren.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Taxes, budget & cost of living: “For 16 years, Republicans have run Raleigh for big corporations and big donors. They found time for corporate tax breaks and handouts for the school voucher scam. They never found time for you. I'm running to put people over power.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Energy, environment & agriculture: “Duke Energy rakes in billions in profit and pays its CEO millions, then turns around and raises your power bill. A monopoly shouldn't get to pick your pocket whenever it wants. I'll fight to lower power bills in Rowan County and hold Duke accountable for price gouging.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Taxes, budget & cost of living: “For 16 years, Republicans in Raleigh haven't found time to raise the minimum wage. It's still $7.25, and tipped workers make $2.13 an hour. They even passed a law blocking our towns and counties from raising it themselves. Yet they found plenty of time for corporate tax breaks and free tax dollars for the voucher scam. I'll fight for at least $18 an hour.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
