I am a family physician who is practice for 38 years in a referral North Carolina County, I am also certified in Hospice and Palliative Care, and I sub-specialize in the treatment of chronic pain and opioid addiction. I have never previously run for elective office and I am doing so only because I was requested to do so by the local Democratic Party.
  • I feel that access to quality affordable healthcare is a basic human right and my top priority for North Carolina is expansion of Medicaid.
  • Second only to quality healthcare is the access to a quality education, I believe that every child has the right to a quality education regardless of their address or who their parents are
  • We must see as a state and country that everyone suffering from chronic pain or opioid addiction is properly treated
Universal access to health care

Quality public education for all including expanding access to secondary education ( i.e. college, community college, and trade schools)
Rural economic development including the expansion of agribusiness and the protection of family farms

Appropriate treatment of chronic pain, opioid addiction, alcoholism and other substance abuse disorders
Presidents Obama and Carter

Dr. Albert Schweitzer because he dedicated his life to serving Christ and his fellow man
Honesty and integrity and putting the interests and well-being of his constituents above his/her own.
To govern effectively and for the benefit of his/her constituents no matter the consequences to themselves or their party.
That the world is a better place to live because of what I have accomplished
doing yard work, approximately one year
Lord of the Rings - because it is about sacrificing one's own well-being for the betterment of others
While both of our legislative chambers are failing to serve the needs of our state I feel the state Senate is far more recalcitrant and unwilling to meet the needs of the people of North Carolina. The leader of the North Carolina Senate cannot even get along with his own party much less our Democratic governor.
It depends on the individual and the experience that they previously had and I would not make a blanket positive or negative stand on this.
The number one priority is to see that every citizen the great state of North Carolina as access to affordable and quality healthcare. A very close second to this is to see that every citizen has access to quality public education including sufficient secondary education provide them with the skills needed to qualify for high-quality jobs in our new economic environment.
That they should work together to solve the pressing needs of the state they serve. That both sides should vigorously advocate for their own beliefs and policies but in the end be willing to compromise with each other so that the state can move forward in solving its problems.
Yes, the only way to get legislation passed and deal with the many challenges that face our state is for legislators to be able to cooperate and compromise to find solutions that the majority can support.
Healthcare, Rural economic development, Public Safety and Corrections
Unfortunately through my career as a physician working both in private practice and volunteering in free and charitable clinics, I have heard literally hundreds of devastating stories of honest, hard-working people suffering needlessly or being ruined financially because they were unable to access and/or afford quality healthcare. These stories are so numerous that I could literally write a book.
