Thank you for visiting my site and pledging your support for my campaign against Democrat Angela Bryant. By working together, I believe that we can make a positive difference in the state of North Carolina not only for us, but for our children, grandchildren and beyond.

As your Senator, I will vote to:

Support our family farms and small businesses by reducing taxes and cut unnecessary and burdensome regulations
Cut waste and make state government more efficient
Provide the infrastructure necessary to attract and keep business in our state
Ensure that we have the well-educated, well-trained workforce that is necessary to attract highly skilled industries and employers to North Carolina
Reward our teachers for the hard work that they do and give local teachers and principals flexibility and control over their classrooms and schools
Improve and increase vocational and technical training opportunities for students to ensure that those who choose not to attend college graduate from high school with marketable skills that can help them land a good paying job
Expand school choice particularly for the families of underprivileged and disadvantaged students
Expand offshore energy exploration and fracking
Protect our traditional values and preserve the institution of marriage
I believe in:

Free Markets
Low Taxes
Less Government
Individual Responsibility
Accountability
Quality Education for All Children
Christian Family Values
Solving Problems
The People of Northeastern North Carolina
