Expand all | Collapse all

I was raised in Spencer, NC, by a single mom who put food on our table using tips she earned as a truck stop waitress. After graduating from high school I served as a North Carolina Governor's Page under Governor Jim Hunt and enlisted in the United States Navy, achieving the rank of Petty Officer 2nd Class. I worked for the Joint Chiefs and at the Naval Communications Center in D.C. My service also included temporary duty at the military liaison office for Congressman Bill Hefner. When my time in the Navy concluded, I was excited by the emergence of information technology and started an IT business, eventually growing it to over 3000 customers.​

Following the 2016 election, I was inspired to serve on the Mecklenburg County Democratic Board of Directors, where I helped rally my community to speak out about the direction of our nation by holding town halls, raising billboards, and engaging our members of Congress.

My service to country is grounded in my working class upbringing and a conviction that our government should work for every American, regardless of their background.
  • We need economic reform that empowers workers by raising the minimum wage to a living one, strengthening unions, and creating blue collar jobs focused on the development of renewable energy.
  • Equal protection under law must be ensured for every American, regardless of their identity. Among other rights, the ability to vote is sacred and essential to the preservation of our democracy.
  • No one should go broke just because they’re sick. We must implement a Medicare for All system that provides healthcare to every American. We will do this by making the wealthiest Americans and corporations pay their fair share according to a highly progressive tax code.
I am passionate about solving the climate crisis, empowering workers, protecting voting rights, providing quality healthcare and education to every American, and strengthening our national security against terror threats both at home and abroad.
I look up to my Mom, who worked long hours for tips as a truck stop waitress and sacrificed so much to put food on our table after my Dad left.
A member of Congress should be a constant, tireless advocate for the needs of their constituents. This means, as the Constitution says, providing for the "general Welfare" of the American people. To me this includes guaranteeing access to healthcare, education, housing, and equal protection under law, as well as defending the country from security threats at home and abroad.
I would like to leave a legacy of enriching the lives of my fellow Americans by helping guarantee access to healthcare, education, and housing. No one should go without these necessities. We have the ability as a country to provide them. Doing so means getting big money and corporate interests out of our government. That is exactly what I plan to do and another thing that I hope to be remembered for.
My first job was mowing grass in my neighborhood and doing various tasks for my Uncle Toby, a painter and carpenter who taught me working class values and lived them in action. When I could drive, I started working as a bag boy at a local grocery store.
Luke Skywalker. He does the right thing, even when it isn't easy.
I think that the United States faces three defining challenges in the decade before us. The first is the climate crisis, which threatens to destabilize entire regions of our country. However, it is also an opportunity to invest in clean energy and create millions of working class jobs while saving our planet. Another threat to our national security is domestic terrorism and rising authoritarian sentiment. To overcome these obstacles, we must fully support our counterterrorism agencies and guarantee voting rights to every American. Finally, the growing presence of automation and other technology is poised to impact our entire economic landscape. We must fight to create working class jobs that can exist alongside these new technologies and provide families with the economic opportunity they deserve.
Homeland Security

Small Business

Veterans' Affairs
I would use it to implement a more progressive tax code that makes the wealthiest Americans and corporations pay their fair share and enables our government to invest in working families.
