| Collapse all
- I am running to make life better for the people of District 45. I grew up here and I understand what families experience every day, from high energy bills to feeling like our voices are not being taken seriously. I want voters to know that I will always show up, listen, and work hard on the issues that affect our homes and neighborhoods. My goal is to bring practical solutions that make our community more affordable, fair, and hopeful.
- I am committed to making North Carolina a place where working families can thrive. That means holding utility companies accountable so families are not crushed by rising power bills, investing in safe and reliable transportation, strengthening our public schools, and protecting voting rights and civil liberties. I want to keep the focus on what matters to real people and avoid the political noise that gets in the way of progress.
- District 45 deserves leadership that listens and works in partnership with the community. As a 34 year old with deep roots here, I am dedicated to being accessible and present. I want to involve young people, lift up local voices, and make sure every neighborhood feels represented. When we bring more people into the process, we make better decisions and build a stronger future for Cumberland County.
