| Collapse all
- I believe that all women in North Carolina have the right to full, unrestricted access to all forms of healthcare. However the current Republican-led legislature believed it was their right to restrict women’s reproductive freedom. During the 2022 election my opponent, Ted Davis, Jr, vowed NOT to approve a 12 week abortion, yet he did just that. If elected, I will do everything in my power to repeal the abortion ban and ensure that we are protecting and advancing everyone’s full, unfettered access to healthcare, which includes abortion.
- For more than a decade, the Republican legislature has gutted public education by diverting taxpayer funds to private schools through the Opportunity Scholarship program (i.e., vouchers). Over the next decade, as part of the Republican plan, an estimated 4.4 BILLION dollars will be allocated to vouchers. Last year the Legislature removed all income restrictions from this program allowing the wealthiest in our state to be eligible to receive taxpayer funds to send their children to private schools - even if they are already enrolled in those schools. If elected, I will work to repeal the Opportunity Scholarship program, returning these much-needed funds to our public schools, allowing all of our children equal access to a good education.
- For too long, polluters in our region have not been held accountable for the damage they have caused to our environment. From our rivers and streams, to our soil and water, companies have been allowed to defile our natural resources. This can not continue, and if elected, I will push to ensure that these companies pay their fair share, and not place the burden on our citizens. All North Carolinians should be able to enjoy the bountiful resources provided by this great State, without worrying about the long-term health effects from PFAS and other killer chemicals.
