- I am a father, a veteran an educator and passionate about making government work for the people.
- I believe that education must be our number one priority. Every student deserves a sound, free and quality education and it is our constitutional responsibility to provide that to the students of North Carolina.
- We must end systemic racism in our country. North Carolina has a long history of successes and failures in our fight create a society free of racial injustice. We still have a long, long way to go, but that work cannot be shirked off or ignored any longer.
Racial Justice- I grew up in the south and was educated in the public school system. I saw the inequalities inherit in our system and recognize the privilege I have been provided throughout my life. I intend to use my experience, education and opportunity to help end systemic racism in our country once and for all.
