North Carolina State Senate District 50

Taxes, budget & cost of living: “Send me to Raleigh and I’ll listen to everyone to find real solutions to our shortages of affordable housing, affordable daycare, and the rising costs of health insurance. We should fully fund our public schools! Our tax dollars should stay with the public schools and not go to enrich private schools.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Campaign priorities & governance: “My plan is to represent everyone in the 50th Senate District. I’ll schedule regular listening sessions and town halls in every county.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Public education & schools: “I’ve worked in municipal government for the last 15 years and prior to that I was a special education teacher working with students with serious emotional disability for eight years. In my work I’ve learned that really listening to people is the first step to making a difference in people’s lives.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Jobs, economy & workforce: “ECONOMY – COVID-19 robbed North Carolina business owners of being able to successfully operate over the last few years. I have always supported free enterprise economics with little government regulation and taxation, and while measures to slow the spread were necessary, we are working every day to get the people of North Carolina back to work.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Public education & schools: “EDUCATION – Beginning my career in public service on the Macon County Board of Education, I am a strong advocate for public education. It is our responsibility as state leaders to provide our teachers with the tools necessary for them to perform in the classroom.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))

Public education & schools: “I believe all children should have access to a quality education and teacher pay should continue to be increased to a competitive level. I believe NC can put more money into the classroom and that teachers should not have to spend their personal funds for classroom material.” (Campaign website (accessed Oct 23, 2026))
