I am a retired Special Forces Operator seeking to return the people of Nort Carolina to their seats of Government. When there is a government by the people the wealth of tax dollars will be returned in public service to the people. The state will provide services such as quality education for all, affordable housing in beautiful pleasant neighbor hoods, plentiful inexpensive health and child care. High quality employers will flock to such a state. Good governance will create an environment that is clean. safe, and plentiful, a good life for all. It is that simple.

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?

Quality education for all. The state must must obey the North Carolina Constitution and fully fund all K-12 schools. Withdraw the state mandate which requires each county to pay 30% of the county's budget to pay the states obligations for school funding. That mandate leaves the schools underfunded, unequal and some segregated! University of North Carolina is the first public university in America! The NC constitution states "the University of North Carolina shall be free from expense". As your state senator I will uphold the constitution.The state has no business in women's private medical matters. As your state senator I will do my best to ensure the state stays out of your family matters.Health Care must be free, available and high quality. All the western countries do this. We are the richest. We can do it.
