| Collapse all
I was born and raised in Wake County.
I grew up in Southeast Raleigh, North Raleigh and what’s now called Mid-town. As an adult, I have lived all over Raleigh and Garner.
I started school in Raleigh City Schools (before the merger) and continued my education in Wake County Public Schools. After graduating NC State University (go Pack!) I am now a teacher in a NC public school. My family and I have been blessed to continue to live, work, and serve this community through decades of teaching and volunteering in prison ministry.
Now I am asking you to allow me to serve this community and you in the US House of Representatives. North Carolina is changing fast and not in the ways that serve all Carolinians. As we evolve and thrive across this state, I want to be sure that the rural areas, the workers, the marginalized and the poor are included.
Did you know that in Wake County the largest block of voters are the unaffiliated voters? That tells me that many of you are searching for real, concrete, honest options. Help me put the focus back on you and your needs. To me, all voices matter, all experiences matter, all your hopes and dreams matter, all families matter, all lives matter, you matter.
As a candidate for the Eco-Socialist NC Green Party, I will only have the people's support.- I support a living wage of at least 25 dollars an hour. And, that’s just the starting point! A worker in Chapel Hill told me last year that they were offered a raise of 91 cents an hour. 91 cents. Please let that sink in. Where can one live in Chapel Hill making a salary that pays 16.91 an hour? Obviously, she has to work two jobs. And take care of a family. This is suppression of the workers. Most of my opponents support increasing a minimum wage bit by bit. They approve a 91 cent raise and call it progress. What’s progressing is their political careers and the portfolios of the upper class, who fund Republicans and Democrats and don’t pay their fair amount of taxes. Real progress is $25.00 and hour plus benefits.
- I support single-payer healthcare. I’m tired of the games and excuses! All those politicians have healthcare! If they didn’t, they would find the money to make sure they did! How can they look you in the eye and explain, “We just can’t afford to give you what you deserve, your human right, healthcare. We have to send trillions around the world; we have to spend billions every year on beefing up the military industrial complex; so we can’t take of you, dear citizen. I will stand for what’s right. And making sure all have healthcare is right. As a member of Congress, I will craft simple and honest legislation that serves all. We need a nation of healthy citizen with a long life expectancy, not a nation where it has stagnated at best recently.
- As a Green Party member I support the party's environmental demands which are:
1. Stop all federal approvals for new fossil fuel projects and repeal permits for climate bombs like the Willow Project and Alaska LNG. 2. Phase out fossil fuel DRILLING on our public lands and waters. 3. Declare a climate emergency to halt oil exports and investments in fossil fuel projects abroad, AND lead a just transition to clean, community energy. I agree because this is what I believe, too! As a member of congress I will introduce and support legislation to make those three main points happen.
I heard it said, “Home is where the heart is.” My heart is set on ensuring clean air and water for future generations. Voting for me is a vote for Mother Earth.
Let me get this straight. We can’t afford single-payer healthcare. We can’t afford a livable wage for workers. We can’t afford to invest in our schools. But, we can afford a 7 BILLION dollar aircraft carrier! We can afford to have military bases around the world. We can afford to give BILLIONS to another country to fight a proxy war in Europe. We can afford to give BILLIONS every year to support an Apartheid State of Israel. (Even though our Congress voted overwhelmingly on a resolution stating the opposite. That was the lie. The political interest groups that finance those politicians support the lie. The report by Amnesty International supports the truth. The Palestinians living under oppression and lethat attack
I think and believe you are! That’s why I support a living wage of at least 25 dollars an hour. And, that’s just the starting point! A worker in Chapel Hill told me last year that they were offered a raise of 91 cents an hour. 91 cents. Please let that sink in. Where can one live in Chapel Hill making a salary that pays 16.91 an hour? Obviously, she has to work two jobs. And take care of a family. This is suppression of the workers. Most of my opponents support increasing a minimum wage bit by bit. They approve of a 91 cent raise and call it progress. What’s progressing is their political careers and the portfolios of the upper class, who don’t pay their fair amount of taxes, but that’s a different story! The problem is that we DO understand economics! We understand our worth! We can’t be bought by 91 cents and a promise for progress. We aren’t wishing on a star or looking for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. I will support the workers getting what is right and just! I respect and honor workers! A vote for me is striking a blow at corporate greed and those who have sacrificed workers in the temple of the Capitalist God: greed. The shame. 91 cents. I proudly advocate for a living wage of at least 25 dollars an hour.
