- As a former Police Officer my main focus is the safety of our children. No parent should ever fear sending their childern to school. Our children and their education is the future of our country. I want to protect that future, not only from gun violence, but, also drugs. I have the skills and knowledge to make that happen and with my military experience, I have the drive to follow through, on any and every task I have ever put before myself. I am not a career Politician, I have worn many hats and have walked in many shoes and will work tirelessly to protect our children, with common sense ideas and legislation, with facts, science and compassion. NC needs a change and not empty promises. Our childrens lives depends on it.
- I believe every parent should have the right to choose which school they want to send their children to. I support school vouchers in our public and charter schools. There has been much discussion on this, but very little action. I want to change that, and work with parents through our legislative system and make this a reality instead of a talking point.
- There are several things I would like to address here, first and foremost I believe in the Constitution, as it is written. I also believe in States Rights and one of those rights is education for all, and with that being said, our State has the responsibility to ensure that every student has the right of high speed internet and good qualified teachers. Our State is lacking behind on a national average in 'teachers pay' and that needs to change. There has been much discussion on the subject, but very little movement forward, along with our service workers pay and compensation. It doesn't affect our politicians and their pocketbooks, therefore it's not a top priority, it is one of mine and I will work to make this happen.

single day. She took my sister and I at the beginning of
every school year and bought us school supplies and new clothes, she also hand made some of our clothes too. She took us to church every Sunday and Wednesday, she taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School, and not only did she do all of this, she and my Papa would grow a garden every year, and we grew up working in that garden with them, picking string beans, butter beans, tomatoes and cucumbers. I remember summers sitting on the porch shelling butter beans until my thumbs were raw, and she would can all that we didn't eat for the winter. I remember when some of the older family members were in bad health due to their age, she would always cook extra meals, everyday and take it to them before we sat down to eat, and when someone would stop in at dinner time unexpectedly, she would always fix them a plate, even if it meant giving up her pork chop or piece of chicken and making herself a sandwich afterwards. She was the kindest person I have ever known, always putting someone else before herself. When I went to work in the Mill on third shift she would take care of my young daughter who was about three at the time during the day while I slept, and she would watch her when I worked tobacco during the days in the summer. She would bring me a plate to the bedroom in the evenings when I was too tired to sit at the table with everyone else
I think there might have even some wagers placed. My last season was a bitter, 'sticky' sweet, it was the summer right before I started college in the fall. I had grown very fond of those old timers I had worked with over half of my life and knew I would probably never see them again, as I would be going to school fall, winter, spring and summer, but I do think about them, often, and smile.
I believe our infrastructures will not be efficient and effective in handling the commutes of our increasing population.
