As I continually watched our NC politicians a) divert public tax-payer dollars to unregulated, scam-ridden private school usage, b) restrict my daughters’ and other women’s access to reproductive choice, and c) make my community unsafe by loosening gun restrictions, I knew that I had to get off the sidelines.
I’m done watching. I’m ready to be part of the discussion, have a seat at the table, and have a vote. A loud, passion-packed, mama-bear vote. A desperately needed vote for my family, friends, community, and constituents – you.
We can do hard things. We can do it for our children and their futures. Thank you for your vote of confidence and (if you are in my district) voting for me for NC House 57 this November!- Last year I watched my daughter’s public elementary school go through significant budget cuts as federal COVID funding ran out. There were not enough bus drivers so schools had to stagger start times and go days without bus coverage. Cafeteria workers went on strike due to low pay. Our teachers are significantly underpaid.
Why are we underinvesting in our children’s future?
77% of NC families choose public schools for their families and public school systems are the number one employer in almost half of our counties.

All three were young and vivacious who should all still be with us here today. Gun violence is very triggering to me as it has caused trauma that I will always personally struggle with.

- I watched the livestream as our "leaders" voted to restrict abortion to 12 weeks, a mere six weeks after most women actually learn they missed their period and are pregnant. I was watching it while bathing my daughters with the painful realization that I was watching mostly men take away my daughters’ reproductive freedom that I had frankly taken for granted. I know loved ones who have had abortions. Some were painfully trying to get pregnant and start a family yet they struggled with medical issues that prevented the healthy development of the fetus and put their own life at risk.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
