My appointments include Chairman of the Burke County Planning Board and member of the Board of Directors of the Burke County Chamber of Commerce. I was instrumental in the creation of the Valdese Economic Development and Incentive Corporation (VEDIC), a job-creation engine that helps businesses in Alexander, Burke, Catawba, Cleveland, McDowell, and Rutherford counties.
I am a graduate of the Rural Economic Development Institute in Cary and a member of the Civil Air Patrol. I hold a bachelor's degree in Human Services from Gardner-Webb University and completed Basic Law Enforcement Training at Western Piedmont Community College.
Currently, I teach Business and Marketing classes at my local high school. I was born into poverty , the only child to a single mother. Through the help of community and family I was able to realize the benefits of a formal education and rise out of the disadvantages associated with the socioeconomic status I had been born into.- The key to my decision to run for the District 112 seat is a central concern over the long-term health and financial well-being of our region. Wages have been stagnant for decades in our communities, families struggle to make ends meet, and that needs to change.
- Today, the issues are real - we have a health care system that is putting the welfare of hundreds of thousands at risk, a minimum wage held at $7.25, homelessness, once hidden in our communities is a main street issue. A drug epidemic combined with high pockets of poverty that put the well-being of our youth in danger. And a correction system that has serious safety issues. It's time the State Legislature got down to business and stopped playing partisan politics. It's time politicians went to work for the people they represent!"
- I am dedicated to developing cooperation and cohesiveness for the District 112 communities. I want to explore the issues families are facing here at home by promoting an open dialogue. An open dialogue that will bring our communities together so the real work that needs to take place in Raleigh can begin. This will be a difficult race but if we work across party lines to tackle the real problems our communities face, we can find real solutions to the challenges that exist.
THE ECONOMY: The economy is only working for some - wealthy special interest and those at the top. This legislature has supported tax plans that have rigged our economy against the middle class. Now, that same legislature is hurting families through harmful unemployment requirements and a broken, underfunded unemployment system that is barely functioning. It was this legislature that put corporate tax cuts before our small business owners, public schools, and teachers. Their failure to pass a budget will stifle recovery for years.
