I volunteered with our local schools while my daughter attended from 2000-2013. That's when I learned how professional, caring, and dedicated our teachers and school staff are. I have nothing but admiration for the work they do everyday to teach our children the skills they need to thrive.
I also served as an elections precinct official from 2008-2016. Those years left me with a deep appreciation for our right to vote.
From 2017-2021, I served as the Chair of the Randolph County Democratic Party. I still volunteer with them serving as their liaison with the local elections office, as one of their representatives on the State Executive Committee, and as their database admin.
I’m running for office to defend our public schools and teachers, protect the health and livelihood of the people in my county, and ensure transparency and fairness in our state legislature.- We need to fully fund our public schools. Our state legislature has underfunded public schools that serve all children while handing out hundreds of millions dollars to private schools through the voucher program. Taxpayer money should be used to ensure public schools have the resources and staff they need. Especially now when schools and students in the western part of our state need help recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Helene. We must also address the statewide teacher shortage by raising wages and reinstating longevity and Master’s pay to attract and retain them in our state.
- I believe a person's health, not politicians, should guide medical decisions at all stages of pregnancy. I will fight to overturn any legislation that takes away your power and control over your own body or forces you to go out of state for medical care. I fully support your access to birth control, IVF services, and abortion care.
- Since Medicaid was expanded, over 9,000 people in Randolph County now have health insurance that couldn't afford it in the past. Statewide, over 539,000 people are now covered. As a recent cardiology patient, I know how important access to affordable, quality healthcare is. I will work to protect that access for you and your family.
I will also fight for your right to accessible and affordable healthcare including your right to decide what happens to your body and when you want to start a family. Politicians should not come between you and your doctor.
I would like to leave the people in our state with access to affordable and timely medical care as well as access to quality local hospitals when they experience a medical emergency.
I would like to leave our voters a political system where they know they have true representation and that their vote counts just as much as anyone else’s vote.
I would like to leave our workers with sustainable jobs that pay a living wage and our small businesses and family farmers with a foundation that allows them to thrive.
