I promise, you’ll always know where I stand.
I ran for the legislature to fight for Buncombe County—and all of us who live in the mountains—and protect what matters most to working families. To read about where I stand on an issue, click on a platform plank.
Every child in North Carolina deserves the best possible education we can give them.
North Carolina used to be known across the South as a leader in public education. We can be again. We must do better preparing our young people to be healthy, caring, and productive members of our community. I’m committed to working to ensure that we recruit the best and brightest to lead our classrooms, but also that our top teachers stay. School staff – maintenance, cafeteria, bus drivers, librarians, counselors, and administrators – must also receive the support they need to make sure our children succeed. Please tell me your thoughts about how we can make our schools better for our children and the teachers and staff that serve them.
