I am a Christian Conservative that believes that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land and that the enumerated rights contained within the Constitution are unalienable. I believe that our Constitutional Republic should be of, for and by the people with smaller government and less intrusion. As a veteran and a retired law enforcement officer I believe that the oaths taken before God never expire and I will always work to ensure that the rights of the people are not abridged. Our message is simple: conservatism works to help all the people of our great State and contributes to the wealth and prosperity for each and every citizen.

I have worked collaboratively with other legislators to ensure that your tax dollars are spent wisely and that the needs of our often overlooked District are met.I have worked to ensure that voter integrity is in place by passing a Voter ID law to ensure that only citizens that are eligible to vote may exercise that right. I assisted in passing a law that placed stringent requirements on the NC State Board of Elections to clean up the voter rolls and remove duplicate registrations as well as any deceased individuals.I have worked collaboratively within the legislature to combat illegal immigration by passing laws that require the sheriff's of North Carolina to cooperate with Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) in identifying and removing those criminal illegal aliens. i helped pass laws that restrict the purchasing of lands within North Carolina by adversarial govenments and protect our military installations.

Education is one of the major areas that we must focus upon. Testing shows that as a nation we lag behind most developed nations. Emphasis must be placed upon returning to academics as opposed to social experiments and indoctrination. Parents must be included in the narrative in determining what their children are taught and in determining what direction their children are lead whether it be public schools, charter schools or private schools.Public safety is an area that we must also focus upon. Over the past two years, we have watched as anarchist have burned and destroyed our cities calling for defunding of police, bail reform and court reform. We must ensure that all of our public safety entities, police, fire and emergency medical, are funded at an appropriate level to provide the safety that is required. We must move away from bond reform that allows criminals to be released back into our communities only to offend again and court reform to ensure that criminals are appropriately punished.Election integrity is a major concern. We must ensure that only citizens are allowed to vote in our elections. Voter I.D. and signature verification must be implemented to ensure that outside interference does not occur.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

We must return to the founding principles of our Constitutional Republic. Term limits will ensure that we have citizen legislators as opposed to career politicians. We must push for fiscal responsibility and smaller government with less intrusion into the lives of our citizens. We must ensure that our children have the best access to education that is free from social experiments and indoctrination and allow parents to have an active part in determining the future of those children. We must ensure that our elections are free and fair and that the electoral process is available to only our citizens through voter I.D. and signature verification on ballots without interference from outside entities.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

President Ronald Reagan. He was a conservative that united the country, led us out of world submission and actively led in the downfall of communism.
