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?

Marijuana legalizationLimiting the Governor's emergency authorityReducing the regulatory burden of occupational licensing

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I advocate for the legalization of medical marijuana based on my experiences as a veteran. Having witnessed its efficacy in pain management, PTSD, and TBI treatment, I argue against criminal penalties for those seeking relief. The right to effective treatment should be prioritized without legal repercussions.

In support of personal freedom, I back the legalization of recreational marijuana in North Carolina. Adults should have autonomy in making choices about substances they consume. Criminalizing citizens for personal decisions with significant public support is counterproductive.

I propose drug decriminalization, advocating for non-criminal citations instead of criminal penalties for drug possession. Viewing drug use as a health issue, I call for a shift in resources towards treatment and support services. Emphasizing the disproportionate impact on minority communities, addressing addiction as a public health concern is crucial.

Reflecting on the challenges of 2020, I call for limitations on the governor's emergency powers. Emergency powers should be temporary, allowing the legislature to convene for informed decisions and preventing unchecked authority resembling a dictatorship.

I advocate for reducing occupational licensing requirements to alleviate the regulatory burden on citizens and businesses. A comprehensive review aims to eliminate unnecessary licenses hindering competition and driving up prices.

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

My father, he instilled a sense of work ethic and honesty that has benefited me throughout my life.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

As an officeholder, I believe my success would be rooted in my unwavering honesty, demonstrated leadership experience, and profound love of freedom and limited government.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

At 16 years old, I worked in Hawaii for 6 months picking pineapples.

Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

I have a close relationship with a veteran battling arthritis from military service. Dependent on at least 4 medications for pain, they adversely affected her health. Turning to marijuana, she stopped other meds, experiencing improved health. Though not a cure, marijuana enables pain management without harmful side effects. Several veterans I know use marijuana for physical and mental pain, reducing or stopping medications with side effects. Hence, it's crucial for NC to pass a medical marijuana bill.

Should the legislature oversee or grant the use of emergency powers?

Emergency powers should be subject to legislative oversight rather than being unilaterally granted. The experience of unchecked emergency powers in 2020, resembling a de facto dictatorship, underscores the need for a more balanced approach. While swift responses to emergencies are essential, it is crucial to prevent unchecked authority. I advocate for a balance by ensuring emergency powers are temporary, allowing the legislature to convene for informed and representative decisions. This approach safeguards democratic principles while addressing immediate crises through a collaborative and accountable process.

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

Yes, compromise is necessary and desirable for policymaking, especially if it involves moving towards more freedom, less regulation, and lower taxes.
