I am Sev Palacios. My family and I decided after 30 years of active military service to our nation, it was time to devote our efforts to serving the people in a civic capacity. My family and I share the same conservative values as our citizens of Hoke County and the greater district. Team Palacios is ready to fight for the traditional family values and inalienable rights we have as Americans and North Carolinians. We are ready to fight for the preservation of our national values and the cultural fabric that defines our freedoms and our way of life. We stand ready to defend our liberties against careerist politicians who choose party over people. We are prepared to support our local and state government to ensure that our citizens are afforded access to quality health care, a wholesome and values based education, opportunity for economic growth, a safe and thriving environment and respect the rights for our unborn and 2nd Amendment.
  • We must not ignore the importance of our rural communities and their value to the needs of our metropolitan neighbors.
  • A well educated and healthy workforce drives market demand.
  • We must not allow the tyranny of constitutional corruption roost in our state, nor allow those entities to limit our rights as Americans
As a first generation American from Hispanic parents, I learned the value of a good education and hard work. My father, at the time of his passing could not afford health care due to the debacle called "Obama Care" and would have to travel miles out of his way to see an Obamacare provider. I am passionate about providing our citizens access to medical care and medical facilities that will support the community that are inside the county boundaries. I am also passionate about providing a better education curriculum to our student body while supporting legislation to toss out Common Core from our schools. Additionally, providing job retraining or vocational education programs to make our communities more competitive in the blue and white collar job market.

My goal is to ensure our community is 1. Healthy; 2. Competitive in the job market; 3. able to increase their quality of life with improvements in access basic needs.

Part of my graduate education program. This book demonstrates the toxic levels of corruption in the highest levels of government. The effects of the housing glut of 2008 on innocent, hardworking people and the eventual discovery of moral compromise of the country's greed in Wall Street.
