I like to say that I am a "Jill of all trades" having a diverse work history. I had my first child at 21 and soon after became a single mom. I worked many jobs to provide for my young family including server & bartender, Harley Davidson motorcycle sales, Bell Atlantic service & installation tech. and more. I know the value of hard work and the struggles of working people & families. I remarried at 32 and had my 2nd child at age 34. I was always dedicated to my children's school & sports and volunteered in every capacity possible. My family was personally affected by the tragedy of 9/11 which launched my dedication to public service & healthcare. I worked as an EMT, volunteered as an auxiliary police officer, and served as treasurer for the New Milford Vol. Ambulance Corps. I was also active in the New Milford-Teaneck Elks Club & served as a board member in the Elks Ladies Auxiliary. At age 42, I earned a BSN at New York’s Dominican College of Blauvelt and graduated cum laude. I then worked in critical care settings, primarily in Cardiovascular ICU at Hackensack University Medical Center. In 2011, I moved to NC to open a restaurant. The Yacht Basin Eatery opened in 2012 and became a beloved community gathering place for years. In 2022, I co-founded the advocacy group, “We Will Not Go Back Coastal NC” to fight for women’s reproductive freedom. I currently a small business owner. I look forward to now serving North Carolinians.
  • • Equity needs to be restored in our state government. The views and policies of the extreme right wing GOP are not representative of the majority of North Carolinians. The GOP supermajority is working for a political agenda and not the people of North Carolina. We must elect representatives that serve the people and represent their values.
  • It is essential that we have officials who embody honesty, integrity, and who prioritize transparency and accountability so we can cultivate a governance that fosters trust, progress, and the advancement of society as a whole.
  • I am relentless and dedicated to every endeavor that I take on. I approach every opportunity with the confidence and belief that I will succeed and make positive change.
I want to see a world that get progressively better.

I want to restore reproduction freedom to women and families.
I want to see the passage of the ERA.
I want to properly fund the public school system and end censoring of teachers, curriculum, and books.
I want to protect and expand voting rights to include all people in our democratic system.
I want to curtail overdevelopment and invest in infrastructure.
I want to solve the epidemic of displaced unhoused people and families and invest in affordable housing.
I want to protect our environment, fight climate change, restore EPA funding and restore .
I want to see tribal recognitions, sovereignty, and support for tribal communities.

I want to decriminalize recreational cannabis use.
I can't pick just one. There are so many women that I look up to. Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, Gloria Steinem, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, to mention a few.
Intelligence

Integrity

Accountability
Honesty
Humility
Compassion

Empathy

Listening to the constituents and enacting and amending laws that reflect their values.
Working together in a bipartisan way to create positive change and improve society for the people.
I remember many historical events from my earlier childhood; the supreme court decision on Roe v. Wade, the death of Elvis, the murder of John Lennon, but the one that I believe affected me the most was when John Hinckley Jr. shot President Reagan. I was 15 and I think that my maturity level at that time made the reality of it hit me in a more personal way. I felt very violated and angry.
I got my first job was the during the summer of my 12th year. I worked for an artist who used precious metals and semi precious stones to create sculpture. I was responsible for polishing the silver & gold structures using antiques dental machinery. It was a lot of fun and I felt very proud of what I helped create.
I think the relationship between the governor in the state legislature should be collaborative, based on mutual respect and a shared commitment to the people of North Carolina. The governor and Legislature may have different perspectives and priorities at times but communication, compromise, and constructive engagement is what makes the legislative process work.
Education & workforce development.

Battling the crisis of affordable housing and homelessness.
Combating climate change, environmental protection and water & air pollution.

Infrastructure and transportation.
No, intelligence, a good work ethic, strong character, willingness to learn, and sense of compassion is what is needed to serve in government.
Building strong relationships and recognizing that there is more connects us than separates us will foster cooperation and collaboration and will enable lawmakers to overcome obstacles and work together for the good of our state.
Deb Butler for her tireless service and fearlessness in standing up in the face of injustice. "I will not yield!"
I will always be open to my path and my journey, wherever it leads me.
The power to act immediately is essential to handling emergency situations. When facing an emergency, there is no time for power struggles, feet dragging, and the inaction that often results when deciding things by committee.
