Please list any notable government or civic involvement. This is my first and last race for public office.
What would be your top priority if elected?
Better education outcomes for our students.
By percentage, what raises should state employees, school staff and teachers receive in the next state budget?
I don’t know.
What legislation would you support to improve Triangle transportation, housing or infrastructure? Please be specific.
Not light rail! Most of these decisions are not made at the state level.
Do you think the legislature should fund about $500 million for private school vouchers through the Opportunity Scholarship program? Why or why not?
Yes. Public education is not teaching well and it needs competition.
Is there an issue on which you disagree with your party? What is your position on that issue?
I am pro-life but not anti-abortion as it is in common practice nationwide. I will not vote for any legislation that would restrict access to abortions more than our current law allows.
