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?

Education - North Carolina has a long tradition of excellence in education from primary through college, either the community college or university system, or a technical degree. Our students should have access to the best teachers and schools to prepare them to compete in a global economy. We need to focus on the core subjects of reading, writing, math, science, and history. Our schools should build up individual students for success and not divide them. I support charter schools and parental choice for education. Salaries for teachers must be competitive and reward the teachers who perform the best. We should measure teachers on performance, student achievement, and their own career development.Economy - Economic freedom is essential to human liberty and personal success. Capitalism is the only economic system that will allow this country to uphold the principles of individual freedom. Free market driven solutions provide the best mechanisms for most issues. If given the alternative, free-markets solutions should be used instead of government solutions. NC is competing in a global economy. We must create the environment for a growing economy by minimizing regulations and keeping taxes low to support businesses of all sizes.Solving Problems. I believe that we face many serious challenges in the world today. We need to make sure that we leave a state and country for our children that will be safe and secure and allows them to thrive into the next generation. Too often we surround ourselves with people who just agree with and think like us. I make no apologies for the fact that I am a conservative. However, if we are to solve the problems that face us, we must be willing to listen to others, hear about their concerns and work for solutions.
