Expand all | Collapse all

I’m a native of Wilkes County with deep family roots throughout North Carolina. At age 8, I began working at the print shop of the Wilkes Journal-Patriot, the local paper my grandfather founded in 1932, inserting newspaper sections and helping with the mailing process. At age 16, while as a student at Wilkes Central High, I began covering news for the Journal-Patriot, eventually coming to work full-time after graduating from Wofford College.

As a local journalist on the front lines of breaking news throughout the region, I kept the public informed about important events with prompt timing and keen accuracy.

With over forty years of investigating and presenting facts as they are, I’m proud to say I never let my personal beliefs influence my reporting. In Congress, I’ll take that same mindset, rejecting political theater and focusing on what’s important – improving the lives of the folks back home
  • Prioritize our working families and small businesses
  • Support public education
  • Protect Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits
I'm particularly passionate about the issues that affect working people every day, whether that be better jobs, public education, health care, housing, infrastructure, or other areas of impact on working families and small business owners.
