- In 2022, I campaigned against Tricia Cotham. I filed the paperwork to serve in March for a primary race occurring in May. In that short time, I was able to assemble a team, mobilize and execute a strong grassroots effort. This hard work resulted in a vote difference of 826 between the campaigns. Think for a moment, less than 1,000 votes contributed to the political landscape of North Carolina today. Sharing my commitment to serving constituents for the betterment of North Carolina is my goal. I stand on principle, and I am committed to serving House District 105, not a personal agenda.
- As leader, I am committed to representing the people’s voice with focus and understanding. Collectively, we can build strong, thriving communities, for the betterment of North Carolina,
- I'm fighting for individuals and families and I stand on principle!
