Get StartedApproximately 700,000 acres of North Carolina farmland are owned by foreign governments, putting our food supply and security at risk. I will work to protect and preserve North Carolina's farmland to ensure that agriculture in this state retains the resources for feeding our citizens and the economy. Learn more
Unnecessary regulations divert resources from job creation and growth. The government should be encouraging entrepreneurship, not creating bureaucratic obstacles. As your State Senator, I will continue to push for deregulation to help small businesses. Learn more
I support fair pay for teachers, fully funded public school classrooms and school choice. We should redirect funding from divisive DEI to ESL AIG/Gifted, teachers aides and special education programs. Learn more
I am a proud gun owner and will continue to support our Second Amendment rights. Law-abiding citizens should not have their freedoms breached by an overreaching government. Learn more
As your State Senator, I proudly supported critical pieces of legislation to ban sanctuary cities and mandate local law enforcement cooperate with ICE. These measures ensure dangerous criminals do not continue being released back into our communities. Learn more

Wait times have surged, leaving Cabarrus citizens waiting months for appointments. To remedy this problem, I advocated for new funding for an additional DMV location in House Bill 125. Cabarrus can expect a second DMV location to reduce wait times and frustration in 2026. Learn more

Excessive taxation is often a problem, especially if you get taxed out of your own home. Across North Carolina, burdensome county and local property taxes are forcing seniors and others on fixed incomes to sell their homes; the mortgage they agreed to pay upon purchase is no longer feasible because of taxes. I support property tax reform to protect homeowners from getting evicted by oppressive municipalities through excessive tax increases. Learn more
