Extend Religious Liberty and the essential freedom of assembly to include all Evangelical Christian churches. Designate churches and houses of worship as essential institutions in our state with a right to convene during national or state crisis or tragic events.Dramatically improve American military veteran healthcare across North Carolina and our nation. Our veterans deserve the BEST healthcare. I will tie veteran healthcare outcomes directly to healthcare provider, hospital executive, and VA Administration leaders pay, job tenure and incentives.Reduce North Carolina's grocery bills by at least $200 a month / $2,400 a year by revising and amending existing legislation. Extend existing provisions for tax credits and tax offsets for grocery stores like Food Lion, Harris Teeter and Walmart to pass along savings to grocery store customers.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I survived 9/11 by mere seconds and a few feet at the Pentagon that day. I am a walking miracle. I know for a fact, that not all battle scars are visible and that veterans need a network of care and community to thrive. All veterans deserve our honor and care to heal, mend and flourish in our great nation! I survived the foster care system and was adopted at 5. I went on to become a high school valedictorian, U.S. Air Force Academy graduate and was chosen to become a CIA Fellow. I built spy satellites that were utilized in the most lethal and secretive missions our armed forces every carried out. I will lead North Carolina with a bold vision of transparency, unified effort and accountability. Our brightest days are ahead!
