North Carolina must make public education a priority in order to produce an informed community and promote economic development. We must attract and retain qualified teachers, give schools and teachers the resources they need, and pay educators a competitive salary.
Our state should treat healthcare as a basic human right, not a privilege. By expanding access to Medicaid, our citizens will avoid costly emergency room visits, and enjoy access to preventative medicine, including annual screenings for issues like breast cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
I support responsible gun ownership and the Second Amendment. We can and we must stop the epidemic of gun violence. Data has proven that sensible gun laws work.
Gerrymandering is a problem in North Carolina. I support a fair system that makes sure all voices are heard and all votes matter on an equal basis.
