Healthcare: “Sam isn’t a career politician—he’s a fighter for the people who will take on the Raleigh establishment and bring real conservative leadership to the state Senate.” (Campaign website)

Economy & Cost of Living: “Sheriff Page supports President Trump’s plan to cut taxes on overtime pay and tips and wants to do the same at the state level.” (Campaign website)

Campaign priorities & governance: “I am honored to be YOUR Democratic Candidate for State Senator of Senate District 26.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Taxes, budget & cost of living: “A quality public education is a fundamental constitutional right and a necessity for our school children across the state. Our state legislature is intentionally failing to provide this. From 2002 to 2020, only one state in the nation saw an actual decline in inflation adjusted dollars spent per public student--North Carolina. In 2023, we were 50th in the nation in public school investment as a fraction of our GDP! State budgets are indeed a statement of moral priorities, and we are de-prioritizing our school kids.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2024))

Public education & schools: “I learned long ago that, as a rural family physician, I can work hard to care for each of my patients, but if the state government undercuts the health and education and prosperity of my rural community, my efforts are diminished. A strong public education system is a fundamental right of our citizens and will elevate all communities--and improve our ability to recruit quality jobs.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey (2024))
