North Carolina State Senate District 22

Public education & schools: “I believe our state should Care for our Children by focussing on: - Public schools. Ensure every child age three or older has access to high-quality publicly funded education. - Career readiness. Expand affordable access to community college and job training programs like paid apprenticeships. - Healthy kids. Support the mental and physical health of children beginning before they are born and extending well beyond graduation.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2024))

Taxes, budget & cost of living: “I am particularly passionate about the issues that impact working families, as I outline in my platform of care. One issue that has deep personal relevance is my commitment to expanding safe birthing options so that everyone has a real choice about where and how they deliver their babies. I am twice as likely to die during childbirth as my mother was when she gave birth to me. Black birthing people are three to four times as likely to die in childbirth than their white counterparts.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2024))
