Valerie Jordan was raised on tobacco fields in Warrenton, North Carolina, where she first learned the power of making change. Valerie grew up in a family that instilled the belief that women must be at every table where decisions are made. At the tender age of 15, she was on the front lines of the environmental justice movement, working to prevent harmful chemicals from being disposed of in Warren County. These early lessons inspired her to enroll and pay my own way through school at NC Central University, where I began finding outlets to make an impact in the corporate world. I now run my own small business. I am dedicated to improving the way of life for the people of rural, northeastern North Carolina. I am focused on promoting small business development, expanding access to health care, and improving infrastructure in an area of the state that cannot be left out.
  • Economic development: We need to strengthen local business opportunities and modernize rural infrastructure.
  • Healthcare: We need to reduce the rural healthcare gap by expanding Medicaid & strengthening healthcare options in the community.
  • Transportation: We must improve road connectivity between economic hubs, housing, and essential services throughout the district.
Transportation & healthcare are the main areas of public policy that I am personally passionated about.
