I moved to Davidson County with my parents at the age of 14, and immediately knew I wanted to make Davidson County my home for life.

Wendy, Steve's wife of over 35 years, and their two sons have been lifelong residents of Davidson County.

Steve has proven himself to be a successful business owner of 30 years as the Owner/President of Jarvis Construction, crediting his experience to working various jobs in the community after high school, and taking specific classes at DCCC to complete his General Contractors’ Unlimited License for Residential and Commercial Building in North & South Carolina. Steve is a graduate of the UNC School of Government's Advance Leadership Corps program and is a mentor with the Local Elected Leaders Academy. He also holds a Certification for Kitchen and Bath Design.

Steve’s experience in the development of property in the county through contracting new housing, renovations, and light commercial work since 1990, has built a reputation of integrity for commercial building, fine home construction, and home improvements. It is this reputation that has earned his company a record in good standing with the Home Builders Association and Better Business Bureau.

As a candidate for NC State Senate District 30, he accepts the responsibility and time that will be expected of him to consider every issue. Steve's experience on County Commission and in the State House will help guide him in the Senate.

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?

Serve the People, Promote Jobs and Lower Taxes : The signs of a strong economy are controlled spending, low taxes and a balanced budget—all policies I have fought for during my time on the Davidson County Board of Commissioners and NC State House and Senate. These policies work to attract businesses and jobs to our state and local communities, grow our economy and keep hard-earned money where it belongs—in local communities, businesses and with the individuals and families who earn it. Limiting government spending allows businesses and individuals to use their resources to build our communities, innovate solutions to problems, and provide economic opportunities and jobs that continue to make North Carolina a Great State.Address Regulatory Reform: Our state leaders have done a great job to reduce corporate tax rates, control government spending and implement policies that have helped our state’s economy to grow in many areas. And while we continue to enjoy a strong statewide economy, there are some areas of the state that need greater support to provide jobs and build stronger local economies. As a business owner no one knows better that Steve that excessive regulations harm economic growth. The state has the ability to adjust regulatory burden (such as compliance and reporting requirements) as they apply to small businesses. The answer to regulatory reform would be have all necessary rules to be reviewed and go though the adoption process.Promote a Quality Education system for our Children: There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to educating our children and preparing them for the future. We owe it to our children and the future of our state to provide quality education that offers a range of choices in order to best meet the academic needs and abilities of every student. We need policies that afford parents and students choice at the local level, within our higher education system, as well as a wide range of vocational education options. Our community colleges are successfully training our workforce to compete in a global and diverse economy and I recognize the importance of continuing to develop high quality vocational programs so that our students have more options.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Our Children and Grandchildren are the future of this State. One of our government’s highest priorities must be keeping our communities and schools safe. I want us to continually provide a quality education for our children. As your Senator, Steve will work to ensure that our schools have the resources needed.

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

Ronald Reagan
