Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a husband, a father, a son, and a grandson. I moved to Harrisburg and became a part of the community more than 16 years ago; I am a financial advisor, building contractor, small business owner, and friend. Our lives together have brought us to this moment. In 10 years, what do we want life to be like? We pray for our children to have better opportunities than we had. Our public schools can be safe, have private school quality, and our children can be prepared to use the opportunities we hope for. We want them to experience the miracle of free enterprise, the chance to open a thriving small business, and to make decisions about the people they meet based on the content of their character. What happened to that dream? As we look towards our retirements, we envision our aging parents doing well. In 10 years, on a beautiful Carolina night, we hope to walk safely, holding hands with the person we love without fear. North Carolina can be the best state to live, work, prosper, and raise a family if we work together.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

FamilyEducationEconomic growth

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about everything that affects the family. Whether the issue is finances, education, or safety, I understand that family is our story, which must be accounted for to have a good government.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

Respectful, kind, and adversarial. There are different branches of government for accountability.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Education, economic growth, and safety.

What are the benefits and drawbacks of a unicameral state legislature, in your opinion?

Our legislature being bicameral is fine the way it is. The concentration of power and decision-making allows for legislation to pass more seamlessly but also permits hasty tyrannical decisions of which the people of North Carolina want none. We need a house and senate to challenge one another and make the legislation that passes more holistic for residents.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

Previous experience in government or politics can be positive or negative. It depends on the individual, what they have accomplished in office, what motivates them, and who influences them—no district in our nation hopes for a hand-picked party line representative without personal convictions and backbone. It is inappropriate for someone to treat serving in local offices as a stepping stone. They end up doing nothing and being ineffective for the latter part of their service in office for fear of messing up their next big break. Most Americans believe that career politicians are significantly to blame for many of our ills. When a person walks into a room, everything they are and have experienced is with them; if they are a good representative, it will arise from the cumulative of their life, not the comparatively wee hours as a politician or government employee.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Yes. Building relationships with other legislators allows for trust, understanding of what is essential to one another and their constituents, and goodwill for negotiating.

What process do you favor for redistricting?

The one permitted by the North Carolina Constitution.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

I am open to whatever God has for me and available to help meet the needs of my community. However, I am not interested in any other office.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Yes. No one has a complete picture by themselves. It takes multiple perspectives in favor of and against to come up with the best solutions. With this approach, the best upsides with the least risk can be obtained, and agreements can be reached. It is also essential that people involved in compromise understand the opposite perspective; we must know what all parties consider to be a win. If that win does not violate faith and conviction, it can be accommodated in many cases. Well-rounded individuals tend to have a true north for their decisions. In good faith, we must be interested enough to know what that is.
