Ballotpedia survey responses

David Hill completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Hill's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- We all deserve the freedom to make our own medical decisions and to get the care we need when we need it. Unfortunately, my opponent told this community he would oppose an extreme abortion ban but then caved to extremists and voted six times to ban abortion. I work with OB-GYNs every day and have seen how this ban is harming women and putting lives at risk. I’m running to defend reproductive freedom because the women of North Carolina deserve the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions — including abortion, IVF, and birth control — without interference from the government.
- Public education is essential to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. But while public schools suffer, hundreds of millions of our tax dollars flow to charter schools and exclusive, unaccountable (often religious) private schools. North Carolina ranks 49th in the US for public school funding compared to GDP, and teachers spend on average $1,300 per year of their own money on school supplies. We must fully fund our public schools, give teachers a real inflation-adjusted pay raise, and ensure that the 1.4 million students in public schools receive a high-quality education.
- We all deserve the opportunity to work hard and succeed, but that’s getting harder to do in today’s economy. As a doctor speaking with patients and now as a candidate, I hear from people every day who are struggling to make ends meet. We can and will do more to boost our local economy, lower costs, and put more money in the pockets of residents. My economic priorities include helping small businesses thrive by cutting red tape and investing in their success, solving the housing affordability crisis and high cost of homeowners insurance, and lowering taxes on hardworking families.
Finding solutions requires approaching problems not with ideology but with pragmatism. I go where the evidence leads and work with anyone and everyone to ensure that my patients’ needs are met and they receive the best care possible. That’s the same approach I will bring to the General Assembly to ensure a healthy future for our region and our state.
