We need real leadership on the issues and laws that impact our lives every day: quality education, environmental conservation, affordable healthcare, and healthy economic growth. To me these aren't abstract concepts, they're a set of middle-class values that made this country great and made me who I am today.
I've always understood that hard work alone was not enough. I needed a community and a government willing to invest in my future.
How? By supporting strong, high performing public schools and honoring the work of the teachers who built them. By giving me an opportunity to pursue a college degree despite being from a working-class family.
By empowering me to see a future unhindered by socioeconomic status.
Today, I teach and coach at New Hanover High School. My wife Tina, and I moved to Wilmington with our two young kids more than 15 years ago. I fell in love with the community and the natural environment, and Wilmington has been home ever since.
As citizens, we have a responsibility to participate and give back. That same spirit of service above self inspired me to seek public office.
That's why I'm running and it would be an honor to to earn your vote.- We need to hold corporate polluters accountable and make them pay for poisoning our water and air, not our families and North Carolina taxpayers..
- We need to restore education levels to pre-2011 levels and ensure our public schools are funded based on their need including additional resources for teachers, staff, and students.
- It's time to out our federal healthcare dollars to work for North Carolina families by bringing our hard-earned tax dollars home. No family should live in fear of a medical bill or doctor's visit, especially now.
● Dedicated conservation efforts to keep our beaches, drinking water, and coastal way of life safe for our children and families.
● Funding for our public schools that reflects the real needs of our teachers and students.
● Quality and affordable healthcare that protects North Carolina families from living in fear of a medical bill or doctor's visit.
