What would be your top priority if elected?
My top priority is to be an advocate for Cary and an advocate for small-business in general.
By percentage, what raises should state employees, school staff and teachers receive in the next state budget?
100%
What legislation would you support to improve Triangle transportation, housing or infrastructure? Please be specific.
Cary has many state roads that need to be repaved. I am first and foremost an advocate for Cary so I would begin there. After that, we need to be looking to the future and ask what transportation, housing, and infrastructure in the Triangle are going to look like 20-30 years from now, and plan for that, instead of playing catch-up like we have the last few decades.
Do you think the legislature should fund about $500 million for private school vouchers through the Opportunity Scholarship program? Why or why not?
Most parents seem to like their particular school even if they have problems with the school system as a whole. Let’s start there while exploring alternative options when public schools aren’t getting the job done.
Is there an issue on which you disagree with your party? What is your position on that issue?
I disagree with my party whenever it wants to restrict the freedoms of North Carolinians.
