Ballotpedia biographical submission form
The candidate completed Ballotpedia's biographical information submission form:
| “ | What is your political philosophy?
'Putting People First'; Seeing the General Assembly work against the best interest of the good people of North Carolina is what inspired my candidacy. North Carolina's Public Education system must be returned to a position of leadership for the country. A fair revenue policy that benefits the families and small businesses of North Carolina should be enacted with a focus on growth and attractiveness for new residents and businesses. Healthcare reform with an expansion of Medicare, increased accessibility and availability in rural communities, and reduced cost. Is there anything you would like to add? The people of North Carolina, and District 90, deserve someone that will work tirelessly to improve government accountability and transparency. As your Representative I will work to bridge the divide and work across the aisle for the betterment of all North Carolinians. This is a people focused and driven campaign and position, I will work for everyone and look forward to meeting and speaking to people across the district and state to ensure that your voice is heard. Together we will return Raleigh and the General Assembly to the people.[6] |
