A Vision for North Carolina

The recent pandemic has highlighted uncertainty about our institutions and economic future. We need someone in the senate who recognizes and solves our crucial problems while building on our existing strengths.

I’m ready and willing to serve.

Rebuilding The Economy

As an entrepreneur and nonprofit leader, rapidly growing the post-coronavirus economy is my main priority, and I’ll do this by:

  • Working to incentivize entrepreneurship and innovation programs through the Legislative process.
  • Fighting for our small and medium-size businesses to get critical support from the SBA and other organizations in this trying time.
  • Raising the minimum wage and bringing high paying jobs to our area

Infrastructure Advancement

Making smart investments in our existing infrastructure, and improving what is already working will drive the development of our district, in a smart, efficient, and productive way.

  • Prioritizing investing in sustainable infrastructure and transportation improvements
  • Increasing investments in business development projects
  • Ensuring improvements like new construction or public areas are impactful

Increasing Educational Opportunity

Investments made in education pay huge dividends to our communities across decades. It is our responsibility to prepare the next generation of leaders.

  • We must start with paying educators a Professional, Livable Wage.
  • Improve our per-student investment by making smart investments in STEAM classes.
  • Removing systemic barriers for all students, while maintaining a full slate of schooling opportunities from college prep to vocational training.

Increase Access and Affordability of Healthcare

A high quality of life – and survival and recovery – requires accessible and affordable healthcare. We pay too much and get too little. I’ll work to reverse this by:

  • Implementing a Medicaid Expansion for 500,000 more North Carolinians. Which will:
  • Add billions of dollars and thousands of jobs to our economy.
  • Protect the financial welfare of our rural hospitals.
