  • This campaign and Senate seat (if elected) will provide fair, honest and proper representation to all members of the 16th Senate district, regardless of party affiliation or political stance. We put people over politics for the sake of bettering our community and state. - God, Family, Country-
  • We WILL work across the isle to make North Carolina an even better place, passing as much legislation as possible, to de-regluate the consumer industry and work toward a smaller, less powerful government.
  • We are tired of career politicians believing that they own the seats they represent. We will work to put the people first, hearing every voice that wants to come forward to work with us to make our district a better place for all - standing for equality, lower taxes, less regulation and more freedoms.
This campaign is focused on creating good policies that help people, and getting rid of bad policies that cause more harm than good. We will fight for lower taxes, states's rights, decriminalization of marijuana, Reforming the DMV to better serve the consumer, and helping to protect the unborn lives that don't have a voice to stand for themselves.
I look up to many people. As I have said before, no man is perfect but there are lots of both positive and negative attributes from all our leaders in history to appreciate both their good, and learn from their mistakes. One group of men I have always admired is our Founding Fathers of the United States of America. They were labeled as criminals by the King of England, but for the sake of country, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, they lead in a way that was best for America and its citizens. In the year 2020 now, we still follow their principals and doctrine to manage the greatest country on the globe.
No man God created is perfect but that is one of the qualities that unifies all of us humans. As an "Office Holder" I would bring a diverse set of aspects to the table. For starters, A millennial voice. We do not have our largest generation properly represented in a House and Senate full of Baby Boomers and our Millennial generation deserves proper representation. Additionally my eagerness to work, and inability to idle would give me a "drive" to put in more work to make our state a better place by the time my term is finished, more so than other legislators. I am far more interested in policies, over parties, and putting people before politics, as a representative for ALL, not just a party.
I believe that it is our responsibility to truly "represent" the interests of all voters, and my district, carrying a vision for what will create the best outcome for our future. It is our Responsibility in the NC Senate to govern in a way that is good for all people, to review and pass laws that will work to make our community a safer and more prosperous place, and to help create a better world for future generations to come.
