It’s time to invest properly in our children’s future.
Protect and Preserve our Environment

The rapid growth in Southern Wake County is impacting our natural resources, and impacting the quality of our water and air. To address real climate issues, we need to support:
- Programs that encourage clean energy using wind and sun as alternatives to consuming more fossil-fuels

Let’s protect our environment in a proactive way.

The term ‘safe community’ should mean safe for all. We are at a point where we need to acknowledge that real solutions need to be implemented and address intimidation tactics head-on. Having a safe community starts with:
- Responsible gun ownership. I fully support the 2nd Amendment and the right to have a gun. In our community, we need to bring forth common sense responsible gun safety measures that protect our citizens and promote public safely.
- Support efforts to address social justice and equality gaps so that all people are protected as stated in our founding principles. That includes supporting the ERA resolution, LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive rights, and denouncing all forms of racism.
Fair Elections & Voting Rights

Our maps for our district were recently redrawn because of issues with gerrymandering. Now that the map is set, it’s time to:
