I am a retired Special Forces Operator seeking to return the people of Nort Carolina to their seats of Government. When there is a government by the people the wealth of tax dollars will be returned in public service to the people. The state will provide services such as quality education for all, affordable housing in beautiful pleasant neighbor hoods, plentiful inexpensive health and child care. High quality employers will flock to such a state. Good governance will create an environment that is clean. safe, and plentiful, a good life for all. It is that simple.
  • Quality education for all. The state must must obey the North Carolina Constitution and fully fund all K-12 schools. Withdraw the state mandate which requires each county to pay 30% of the county's budget to pay the states obligations for school funding. That mandate leaves the schools underfunded, unequal and some segregated! University of North Carolina is the first public university in America! The NC constitution states "the University of North Carolina shall be free from expense". As your state senator I will uphold the constitution.
  • The state has no business in women's private medical matters. As your state senator I will do my best to ensure the state stays out of your family matters.
  • Health Care must be free, available and high quality. All the western countries do this. We are the richest. We can do it.
Education, rights of all peoples, health care, quality housing and pleasant neighborhoods.
The people as a whole. Why? God has commanded it.
Love thy neighbor as thy self.
My personnel legacy is unimportant. Is NC better when I leave? That is the question
No favorites, each provides so manly things
Living, education, respect. food, housing, freedom, maintaining family, and attaining generational wealth.
The separation of powers must be maintained. The legislature writes the law. The governor carries out the law. The separation helps prevent abuse of power over us.
Realization of the people over government leading permanent prosperity for all.
Yes, somewhat, although I have quite a bit . I believe it is more important to understand your job is to improve peoples lives.
Yes of course. We have to function as a unit. However, fake relationships to hide oppose agendas is counter productive.
I do not do jokes well
Fully fund NC schools and revoke 15 week ban.
Government must be absolutely financially transparent
Good expand democracy and put the power in the peoples hands.
