Submitted Biography: "My name is Dr. Lent Christopher Carr II, and I am running for Congress not out of ambition, but out of duty—to serve, to uplift, and to restore dignity to the forgotten communities of our district and nation. But I haven’t forgotten where I came from. And I know you haven’t forgotten either. I was raised in Greenville, North Carolina, by hardworking parents who taught me the value of labor, truth, and community. At the age of nine, I was already in the tobacco fields—learning, through sweat and callouses, what too many in Washington have forgotten: the dignity of work and the worth of those who do it. For over a decade, I’ve called Raeford in Hoke County home. I currently serve as National President of the National Congressional Voting Caucus for Human Rights, and I am honored to hold the office of Chancellor and Professor at ECEI University, My academic journey includes a Doctorate in History (focused on American and Middle Eastern studies), a Civil Christian Canon Law J.D., and additional doctoral credentials in Theology, Public Policy, Political Science, and Legal Research. I serve as Senior Pastor of Emmaus Cathedral. I have been awarded the “We The People” Global Humanitarian Award (2023) and the U.S. President’s Lifetime Achievement Award four times—by Presidents Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joseph Biden. These honors are not just personal achievements; they are symbols of the tireless advocacy I bring to every community I serve. Visit: www.lentcarrforuscongress.com"

Nigel Bristow (D)
As your Representative I have one job. That job is to make your life better. I intend to make your life better by enacting Legislation and providing funding that will enhance your quality of life.
Congress was enacted to be the voice of the people. That voice has been silenced. I am running to return the people's voice to Congress. The Capitol is the People's House. Therefore, they should be represented by someone who has their best interests at heart and who listens to them. The people need a representative that identifies their needs and works together with other representatives regardless of their political affiliation in order to provide for all people.
Lent Carr II (D)
Lent ascribe to the moral, and so-called American Dream notion that ownership should mean freedom, not lifelong financial obligation. Reforming property taxation will empower Americans, uphold constitutional values, and strengthen our communities. This is not a giveaway — it is a restoration of what is rightfully yours. For years now, under current federal, state, and local government practices to force hardworking Americans who've secured their properties through grueling backbreaking work to essentially be enslaved under a tax system that paid not one dime towards the purchase of their respective property, is an illegal taxing scheme that has hurt so many Americans for reasons of double tax theft. Lent intends to champion this Bill.
Carr’s Economic Inclusion Empowerment Bill proposed agenda, a transformative legislative proposal designed to uplift every American—particularly the middle class and marginalized poor left behind since the conception of this Nation—through direct investment, progressive taxation, and robust safety nets. Rejecting the failed Republican “trickle-down,” "PROJECT 2025" adoptive model and exposing its “Reverse Robin Hood” reality, this Bill demonstrates a practicable, sweeping framework that genuinely empowers 99% of Americans. I call it the 99% "PROJECT 2026" Democracy Initiative. It contrasts sharply with Representative Richard Hudson’s unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill,” which slashes vital programs, and widens inequality.
Nigel Bristow (D)
Lent Carr II (D)
Promote Tax Justice: Reinstate progressive rates; expand refundable credits for children and low-income workers.
Empower Workers: Raise the federal minimum wage; strengthen collective bargaining; fund labor protections.
Advance Humane Immigration Reform: Provide a clear path to citizenship; end inhumane detention; protect families.
Reprioritize National Spending: Conduct peace and security audits; shift resources to human development.
Uphold Democratic Principles: Ensure judicial and legislative checks prevent executive overreach in military and domestic deployments.
Lent Carr II (D)
Lent Carr II (D)
My own political philosophy echoes this timeless lesson. In an era when Trump’s administration has inflamed fissures of race, class, and sexuality, The Book of Rivals illuminates a different path: one in which empathy, respect, and mutual accountability become the bedrock of policy. I believe that enduring solutions arise when we interrogate our assumptions, listen earnestly to dissenting voices, and co-create legislation that reflects our shared humanity.
Chapter by chapter, the authors demonstrate how rival camps—whether in peacetime congresses or wartime councils—overcame distrust through evidence-based debate, moral courage, and the conviction that no single faction holds a monopoly on truth. These lessons inform my approach to climate resilience, economic inclusion, and voting-rights reform: I will convene experts across the spectrum, ground every proposal in data and ethics, and remain open to iterative refinement.
Above all, The Book of Rivals affirms my core belief that the office of Congress is not a pulpit for partisan triumph but a workshop for public service. As your Representative, I vow to carry forward its central message: that we are at our strongest when we forge unity from our most profound disagreements, choosing the welfare of the people over the perpetuation of division.
Nigel Bristow (D)
Lent Carr II (D)
My Economic Inclusion Empowerment Bill abolishes regressive property taxes while funding schools, hospitals, and first responders via a progressive financial-transaction fee. This ensures essential services thrive without burdening homeowners. Inclusive Governance: America’s strength is her diversity. My immigration reform offers humane border policies, pathways to citizenship, and protection for DREAMers, in stark contrast to the cruelty of today’s status quo. Moral Courage: The “Big Beautiful Bill” has worsened inequality and weakened agencies like FEMA. I will confront special-interest influence, champion term limits, enforce campaign-finance reform, and demand rigorous oversight of executive power. Defending Democracy:
In the face of gerrymandering and shadow-docket rulings, I will safeguard voting rights with automatic registration, independent redistricting commissions, and robust protections against disenfranchisement. Bipartisan Collaboration:True progress requires cooperation. I will work across the aisle on shared priorities that don't compromise my, or my constituents core principles. In short, "welfare of the people 1st."
Lent Carr II (D)
Intellectual Rigor: Decades as a political-science scholar and chancellor have honed my ability to dissect complex policy, marshal data-driven solutions, and teach future leaders the art of governance.
Moral Authority: My years as a pastor and human-rights advocate instilled deep empathy, ethical conviction, and the courage to confront injustice—even when it meant standing alone.
Resilience & Authenticity: Wrongfully imprisoned and exonerated, I know firsthand the perils of systemic failure and the power of perseverance.
Community Engagement: From tobacco fields at nine to today’s town halls, I listen, learn, and adapt—ensuring every constituent’s voice shapes legislation.
Collaborative Vision: I unite diverse stakeholders—academics, faith leaders, veterans—to forge bipartisan coalitions that deliver tangible results for North Carolina’s 9th District.
These qualities—grounded in faith, scholarship, and lived experience—equip me to serve effectively, transparently, and compassionately in Congress.

I want future leaders to inherit a Congress that lives up to its promise: transparent in its finances, accountable in its oversight, and fearless in defending democracy. I envision robust civic education initiatives so that young Americans enter public life armed with historical insight, ethical grounding, and the confidence to innovate.
Above all, I seek to prove that public office can be a sacred trust: a place where diverse voices unite to elevate the common good, where our children and grandchildren can look back and say, “They built a government of integrity—and entrusted us to carry it forward.”

This work resonates deeply with my own convictions. As an academic and public servant, I’ve seen how partisan purity tests fracture progress, while Lincoln’s willingness to embrace dissenting voices yielded policy breakthroughs and moral clarity amidst our nation’s gravest crisis. His example teaches that true strength lies not in ideological uniformity, but in harnessing diverse perspectives for the common good.
In Team of Rivals, Lincoln models empathy tempered by principle: he listens intently, challenges assumptions with data and moral reasoning, and holds his colleagues to a higher standard even as he earns their loyalty. That blend of intellectual rigor and human compassion underpins my own approach—whether convening bipartisan panels on climate resilience or crafting inclusive economic reforms.
Above all, the book reminds me that leadership demands humility and courage: humility to acknowledge where we’re wrong, and courage to forge alliances with those who challenge us. I carry that lesson into every town hall and legislative negotiation, striving to unite—even in the face of division—so North Carolina’s 9th District can move forward together.

As Guthrie sang of highways and redwood forests, I’m driven by the same fire: to safeguard the freedoms etched in our Constitution, to ensure that every voice is heard at the ballot box, and to defend our Republic against forces that would divide us. That melody stirs a fight in my soul—not a fight of bullets or bombs, but of ballots and ballots counted fairly, of laws debated passionately, and of citizens engaged daily.
Every time those words loop in my mind, I’m reminded that the work of democracy never ends. It demands our hands, our hearts, and our unwavering resolve. And so I carry that song as my rallying cry: this land is indeed your land—and mine—and together, we will secure it for generations to come

Climate Crisis: Translating cutting-edge science into policy to avert ecological tipping points.
Democratic Erosion: Defending institutions and voting rights against polarization and misinformation.
Economic Inequality: Ensuring equitable growth through progressive taxation, workforce training, and innovation.
Aging Infrastructure: Rebuilding roads, bridges, broadband, and clean-energy grids for the 21st century.
Public Health Resilience: Investing in universal access, pandemic preparedness, and mental-health support.
Technological Ethics: Governing AI and biotech to balance progress with privacy, safety, and human dignity.
Only with bipartisan collaboration, data-driven solutions, and robust civic engagement can we secure liberty, prosperity, and sustainability for all Americans.

• House: Up to three two-year terms (6 years) • Senate: Up to two six-year terms (12 years) • Supreme Court: One non-renewable 18-year staggered term
Grounded in Madison’s warnings in Federalist No. 10 about factionalism and Tocqueville’s insights on civic renewal, these limits curb careerism, reduce special-interest sway, and ensure fresh perspectives. Predictable rotation prevents power consolidation, enhances accountability, and keeps our democracy dynamic, responsive, and resilient.

Now, Amos faces foreclosure on the very farmhouse where generations shared laughter and labor. His fields, once the heartbeat of his community, lie fallow as bank notices arrive. His story haunts me: a father’s love crushed by policy indifference, a legacy erased by broken promises.
When the Voters send me to Washington, I'll carry Amos’s pain—and my promise to restore compassion, fair funding, and true representation for families like his in North Carolina’s 9th District.

Fiscal Initiative & Accountability Should I be privileged to serve, I will leverage this prerogative to advance equitable revenue measures: a progressive transaction fee to replace regressive property taxes, incentives for clean-energy investment, and safeguards against revenue schemes that disproportionately burden working families. By introducing these bills myself, I bind my actions to rigorous debate and committee scrutiny, ensuring that every levy reflects the district’s consent and scholarly economic analysis.
Oversight of Tax Expenditures Originating revenue legislation also empowers the House to condition appropriations on transparent tax expenditures. I will insist on rider provisions that require real-time, machine-readable reporting of tax credits and subsidies—bolstering my platform of government transparency and enabling constituents to trace every dollar from revenue inception through program delivery.
Checks and Balances By situating revenue origination in the House, the framers intended a barrier against unilateral fiscal policy. I will honor that design by engaging in robust bicameral negotiations only after rigorous in-House committee vetting—preserving the constitutional balance between swift responsiveness and deliberative governance.
In embodying this power, I affirm my commitment to principled revenue policy, scholarly rigor, and the democratic imperative that taxation and representation remain inseparable in North Carolina’s 9th District.
Nigel Bristow (D)
Lent Carr II (D)
1. Constitutional Check on Executive Power By deploying its subpoena and contempt authorities through empowered committees—Oversight & Reform, Judiciary, and Intelligence—the House must rigorously examine executive actions, enforce compliance with the Federal Records Act, and compel testimony to forestall abuses of discretion or expenditure.
2. Truth-Seeking through Bipartisan Inquiry Investigations should be structured as nonpartisan fact-finding missions, grounded in empirical data and legal precedent. I will champion chartering special select committees with clear scopes and subpoena authority, staffed by majority and minority counsels, to ensure findings rest on unassailable evidence rather than political theater.
3. Strengthening the Power of the Purse The House must condition appropriations on agency cooperation—tying funding to timely GAO audits, Inspector General referrals, and machine-readable disclosures of tax expenditures and contracts. This “oversight‐funding nexus” guarantees that taxpayer dollars serve the public interest.
4. Safeguarding Whistleblowers & Public Trust Robust whistleblower protections are essential. I will advance legislation insulating career civil servants from reprisal and requiring secure channels for disclosures.
By wielding its investigatory arsenal with scholarly rigor and procedural integrity, the House will fulfill its role as the People’s watchdog—exposing corruption, safeguarding separation of powers, and renewing confidence in democratic governance. In North Carolina’s 9th District, I will lead with that same unwavering commitment to accountability and the rule of law.
Lent Carr II (D)
Lent Carr II (D)
Oversight & Accountability: Driving transparency reforms and rigorous agency audits.
Financial Services: Crafting my Economic Inclusion Empowerment Bill and progressive fiscal policy.
Natural Resources: Advancing climate resilience, clean‐energy infrastructure, and environmental justice.
Veterans’ Affairs: Expanding mental‐health support and benefits for those who served.
Judiciary: Championing term limits, voting‐rights protections, and fair justice reforms.
Education & Labor: In the wake of Trump-era attempts to dismantle the Department of Education, I’ll serve on this committee to restore its mission. I will secure robust, equitable funding; enforce rigorous oversight of federal programs; and champion transformative reforms—from early childhood through higher education—to close opportunity gaps and ensure every North Carolina child receives a world-class education.
These assignments align with my platform and will let me achieve real, practical results for North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District.
Nigel Bristow (D)
Lent Carr II (D)
Every elected official should file quarterly, machine-readable reports of personal assets, gifts, travel, and outside income. No more redactions, no more delayed or buried filings—just open data you can track in real time.
Citizen Oversight Portals: I will champion the creation of a North Carolina-based “Sunshine Dashboard,” integrating federal, state, and local spending so our communities can pinpoint waste, spot conflicts of interest, and propose budgetary corrections through participatory comment mechanisms. Conflict-Free Leadership: To eliminate even the perception of divided loyalties, I pledge to refuse corporate PAC contributions and place all campaign funds into a democratically controlled public-matching fund. My votes will answer only to you—never to lobbyists or special-interest executives. Rigorous Audit & Accountability: I will introduce legislation requiring annual, independent performance audits of every federal agency’s programs, with clear metrics for outcomes and cost-benefit ratios. Agencies that fail must explain themselves publicly and restructure under community advisory boards. Philosophical Foundation: Rooted in my belief that power unobserved always drifts toward the few, I draw on centuries of republican thinkers—Madison’s warnings about faction, Tocqueville’s insights on democracy—that true liberty flourishes only when citizens are armed with knowledge. Transparency is not a policy add-on; it is democracy’s immune system. By making every budget line and every vote visible, we dismantle shadow-government, restore public trust, and ensure that North Carolina’s 9th District leads the nation in accountable, ethical governance. Together, we will prove that in an informed engagement.
