What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As auditor one of the things that I will review very closely is how our local school boards are investing our tax dollars in education. A 2019 article in the Carolina Journal said there is a lack of accountability and transparency in how our local school boards spend the funds they receive from Raleigh.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the state government and legal system?

Article 3, Section 7 of the North Carolina Constitution provides for this office. He/she responsible for serving as the watchdog of all spending done by the state of North Carolina. Thus it provides an opportunity for the office holder to fight for accountability and transparency!

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

I have always admired Ronald Reagan because of his stand for Christian and conservative morals and values.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Please watch Jimmy Stewart in "Mr. Smith goes to Washington"

Honesty, integrity and a desire to serve ALL of the citizens!

I would like to be remebered as fighting for Christian and Conservative morals and values.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The Space Shuttle Challenger exlplosion when I was four.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

My very first job was working in grocery stores all during high school.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The book of Luke in the Bible because it talks about the compassion and love of Christ from the view point of a physician.

Frank Sinatra's "Luck Be A Lady"

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Being from a lesser developed area of the state I have had to overcome some economic challenges.

What responsibilities of this office do you personally consider the most important?

The State Auditor has the power to review the spending of all State Agencies. This enables the elected to address the citizens and the State Legislature and inform them of any and all discrepancies and problems that can be found.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

I believe that prior government experience is definitely a benefit to serving in any state wide office. I am currently serving my second term on the Soil and Water Board in Brunswick County.

What kind of skills or expertise do you believe would be the most helpful for the holders of this office to possess?

It would prove to be very helpful to have experience in business, budgeting economics and finance all of which I have.
