On the Issues
People Over Politics
North Carolinians deserve stability, dignity, and the chance to build a future without constantly worrying about rising costs. Across House District 63, families are stretched thin by the price of healthcare, prescription medications, childcare, housing, and the growing responsibility of caring for aging loved ones. Too many people are working hard, playing by the rules, and still struggling to keep up.
I believe the government should make life easier—not harder—for the people it serves. I will work to expand access to affordable, high-quality healthcare, lower out-of-pocket costs for families, and support caregivers in all forms, from parents and grandparents to those caring for aging relatives or loved ones with disabilities. Caregiving is essential work, and our policies should reflect its value.
That also means strengthening local resources and safety-net programs so help is accessible when people need it, without unnecessary red tape or stigma. By focusing on common-sense solutions that prioritize people over politics, we can help individuals and families not just survive from month to month but also plan, save, and move forward with confidence.
A strong North Carolina is one where families are supported, communities are resilient, and opportunity is within reach for everyone.
Supporting Working People and Small Businesses
Working people and small businesses are the backbone of our community. From family-owned shops and farms to service workers and skilled trades, our local economy depends on people who work hard and invest locally. Yet rising costs, unnecessary red tape, and outdated policies make it harder for businesses to grow and for workers to earn wages that support a family.
I believe policies should help people succeed, not stand in their way. I’ll work to cut unnecessary regulations, modernize outdated rules, and support local entrepreneurs with access to workforce training, broadband, and infrastructure. At the same time, I’ll stand up for fair wages, safe workplaces, and policies that help workers balance work and family life.
When small businesses and working people succeed together, jobs stay local, communities grow stronger, and prosperity is shared.
Strong Public Schools
North Carolina succeeds when our public schools succeed. No matter where we live or how we vote, families want their children to be safe, prepared, and able to build a good life. As a former public school teacher, I’ve seen how classrooms that are well-supported and fully resourced help students develop the skills they need to succeed — in school, in the workforce, and in life.
Strong schools depend on strong educators. Teachers and school staff carry enormous responsibility, and they deserve professional pay, respect, and working conditions that allow them to focus on students. Supporting educators means keeping experienced teachers in the classroom, reducing turnover, and ensuring schools have the resources needed to meet student needs—from academics to mental health and career readiness.
Public education funding should be used responsibly and transparently to strengthen the schools most families rely on. When resources are spread too thin, students lose. I will work to ensure taxpayer dollars are focused on proven investments that improve outcomes, strengthen accountability, and support local schools.
A strong education system also starts early. Expanding access to pre-K and affordable childcare helps children enter school ready to learn and gives parents the stability they need to work and plan for the future. Early education is one of the smartest investments we can make—helping close gaps early, build a skilled workforce, and reduce long-term costs.
Investing in public schools isn’t a partisan issue—it’s a North Carolina value. When we focus on practical solutions that prepare students for good jobs, support families, and strengthen communities, everyone benefits.
Good Government
Across North Carolina, people are frustrated with politics that feel disconnected from their everyday lives. No matter your party, most families want the same things: honesty, accountability, and leaders who listen and show up—not just during election season, but year-round. Government works best when it is transparent, responsible, and focused on solving real problems.
The strongest solutions come from listening to the people most affected by the decisions being made. Teachers, caregivers, veterans, young people, rural communities, and working families bring practical experience and common sense that too often goes unheard. When leaders take the time to listen, policies are stronger and more effective.
I’m running to help restore trust in government by making it more accessible and responsive. That means open communication, community engagement, and putting service ahead of politics. When everyday voices are part of the process, decisions are better, and communities are stronger.
A government that works for everyone isn’t about ideology—it’s about doing the job well, respecting the people we serve, and focusing on solutions that move our state forward together.
Safe Communities
A safe community is one where neighbors look out for one another, families can live their lives without fear, and people feel connected to their home. True safety isn’t just about rules or enforcement; it’s about trust, communication, and a shared responsibility to care for one another.
In recent years, Alamance County has faced division that has made it harder to build that trust. When fear and tension replace cooperation, communities become less secure, not more. Real public safety comes from steady leadership that values transparency, mutual respect, and problem-solving over headlines.
We need leaders who work closely with law enforcement, first responders, mental health providers, community organizations, faith leaders, and residents to prevent problems before they escalate and to ensure fairness and accountability for everyone. When people feel respected and heard, they are more willing to engage, follow the law, and help keep their neighborhoods safe.
Everyone who calls this district home deserves to feel secure in their home and confident that their government is focused on protecting both safety and basic rights. That’s how we strengthen trust, restore community, and build safer neighborhoods for all.
Responsible Growth
Alamance County is growing, and growth can be a good thing when it’s done right. But development should strengthen our communities, not price families out, overwhelm infrastructure, or erase the character that makes this area home. Responsible growth means planning ahead, listening to residents, and making decisions that benefit the people who already live here.
I believe growth should be transparent, thoughtful, and driven by local needs. That means protecting affordable housing, preserving farmland and historic neighborhoods, and ensuring that roads, schools, water, broadband, and emergency services keep pace with development. Communities shouldn’t be shaped by whoever writes the biggest check, but by the voices of the people who call Alamance County home.
Responsible growth also means supporting local businesses, protecting our natural resources, and making sure new development creates opportunity without sacrificing quality of life. With smart planning and accountability, Alamance County can grow in a way that is sustainable, inclusive, and true to its values, today and for generations to come.
