| Collapse all
- We know North Carolina’s strong business climate and relative affordability, which draw thousands of Americans to the state every day, are the result of conservative low-tax policies. I have built three homes in Apex and have seen first-hand how dramatically housing costs have spiked over the past four years. Federal policies that caused inflation to spike are driving up costs for just about everything including energy, housing, and insurance. City and county tax policies matter too. I pledge to keep taxes low, reduce onerous regulations, and develop policies that spark innovation and create good paying jobs.
- As a long-time Apex resident, I have seen the downside of exploding growth and understand the pressure insufficient roadways, for example, can put on a community. Frustrated drivers often lead to more accidents and that equates to higher insurance bills for everyone. I believe it is critical that the state works with communities to ensure that traffic control and transportation needs are met in a timely manner. I pledge to make these processes as transparent as possible to encourage public participation. Other infrastructure needs such as public safety and energy must also be addressed to ensure we have adequate resources statewide to protect the quality of life for all.
- North Carolina, and especially House District 21, has been on the receiving end of explosive growth. Growth leads to more crime, right? Look at America’s largest cities and it is easy to see why people might think that. In reality, large cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles suffer from devastating crime because their leaders tolerate it. All North Carolinians deserve to live and work in safe communities but to achieve that leaders must enforce the law and value public safety officials. I support law enforcement and vow to work with local communities to ensure that they have the resources necessary to provide the safest environment possible for residents and businesses alike.
