Get StartedWe must stop funding schools primarily through property taxes, a system that creates inequalities. Rural schools deserve the same support as urban schools, regardless of their tax base. Learn more
I am committed to offering a competitive starting salary of 55,000 dollars for new teachers and proportional raises for existing educators to attract and retain top talent. Learn more
Higher education should be affordable, especially for students who grew up here. I will work to provide free or reduced tuition for students who complete their K-12 public education in-state. Learn more
Our schools must prepare students for the information age by prioritizing modern skills like computer literacy, technology, and financial literacy. Learn more
New industries bring new risks. Data centers in rural counties consume massive amounts of water for cooling and often rely on diesel generators until connected to the grid, releasing harmful exhaust. Some use chemicals to slow evaporation and transport wastewater to treatment plants. Communities deserve clear information about these practices and their potential impact on drinking water. Learn more
We should create a state program that offers low interest loans to residents in remote areas or places without access to financial support. Every homeowner should be able to upgrade their energy systems and lower their bills no matter where they live. Learn more
We must strengthen enforcement of environmental laws so no community is put at risk again. Companies that pollute our land, water, or air should face real consequences. A state level carbon credit system would give businesses financial incentives to cut emissions and modernize operations. Learn more
North Carolina should also offer tax credits to renewable energy companies that want to expand here, especially in Rockingham County. This would bring jobs, investment, and economic growth while helping our state lead in clean energy. Learn more
We should offer reduced tuition for students pursuing careers in medical fields, paired with an agreement that they remain employed in North Carolina for a set number of years after graduation. Learn more
My vision is for our state to one day transition to its own single payer system so that every resident can receive the care they need without fear of debt or denial. Learn more
Access to adequate modern medicine is a fundamental right, and North Carolina should be doing far more to expand both affordability and availability. Learn more
We must also provide state funded healthcare plans that are available to the public regardless of circumstance. Creating a public option would put real pressure on private insurers to lower prices and improve coverage, ensuring that families do not have to choose between medical care and financial stability. Learn more
We must limit corporate property ownership and protect housing for residents. Partnering with municipalities to expand housing opportunities will help communities grow responsibly and affordably. Learn more
My mission is to ensure that Rockingham County has the resources, the leadership, and the commitment to protect the programs our neighbors rely on. I will fight to safeguard SNAP, to fund Medicaid, and make sure that every resident has access to the support and care they deserve. Learn more
I support real tax exemptions for tips and overtime so workers keep more of what they earn. Corporate taxes should be fair too. Raising the corporate rate to 5 percent, matching neighboring states, ensures businesses contribute their share while funding vital programs. Learn more
We must eliminate taxes on groceries so families can afford basic necessities. Learn more
