Cory's professional experience is mainly as a graphic designer and consultant for Stonetree Signs, his family's business located in Asheboro. Previously, he was Webmaster for the North Carolina Federation of College Republicans and a regional field representative with the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action.
- School Choice. As someone who grew up homeschooled and the first in my family to graduate college, I have a unique set of experience that I intend to take with me to the state house to fight to expand school choice.
- I know business. I grew up homeschooled in my family's business which is a sign company. I grew up learning not only from my parents but from many business owners across our county. My job in the business is to speak with business owners and find out the problem they're having and find a way to solve it. That's a skill that I want to take with me to the state house.
- I am a Proven Conservative. I knocked on 7,000 doors with the NRA to ensure conservative candidates would win in 2020. By now many of the people I helped win have betrayed the values that I fought for. I'm running for office, because I'm tired of RINOS claiming to be conservative.
