Reason for Seeking Public Office:

We have raised taxes on the middle class, but have given millionaires and big corporations tax breaks.

We have cut funding for education, but college tuition costs keep skyrocketing.

It's time to restore faith in our middle class and our state's future. That's why I'm running for the North Carolina House.

I believe the people of Wilson and Pitt counties need someone who will fight for all of us in the General Assembly -- not special interests or a select few. Our citizens need someone who will focus on strengthening our state's economy.

It's time to build a better North Carolina, and it starts right here at home.

Turning our state around isn't a Democratic or Republican issue. Throughout my career, I have represented people from all walks of life. I know the distress of our citizens and the struggles we face as a society every day. I am ready to go to Raleigh to put these ideas to work for you and represent the best interest of ALL of the citizens of District 8 in Wilson and Pitt counties.
