"I'm a hard-working, blue collar guy, and I'm in this for every single person in Cabarrus, Rowan, and ultimately, North Carolina. My job is to listen to you, take your concerns to Raleigh, and help pass legislation that will help, not hurt, your family."
KEY ISSUES
AI datacenters are the 'big, magic lie' that's been forced into our communities. The companies running them deplete water systems and deforest every acre of land they buy. They’re given power subsidies to lower their rates – all while the leaders in the NC General Assembly allow public rates to keep increasing. It needs to be halted and reviewed now.
I will support more research, an environmental survey before construction can even be considered, and community-led answers. You shouldn't ever have to worry about one of these in your backyard.
As a former union member in the movie and commercial industry for many years, I know the importance of organized labor and workers' rights. Workers in North Carolina have the right to fair wages, proper healthcare, and the ability to negotiate for these things. Blue collar workers are the backbone of so many of our industries and deserve to be compensated fairly for what they do.
School vouchers are one of the biggest threats to our public education. I see them as a scam – robbing money from the North Carolina public school system and giving it, largely, to the most privileged going to private schools. Those private schools don’t even have to follow the same guidelines as the NC public schools, and it needs to stop. In office, I’ll protect our schools and pass legislation to make sure our classrooms, teachers, and school employees are properly funded and compensated.
I know that we’re all facing economic hardships right now – and I’m not going to tell you there is a quick fix for it, because there’s not. That said, the current supermajority in the North Carolina Senate and House have done little to nothing to address it. In office, I will not help pass bills that put hardships on my constituents. Period.
