Economy

Absolutely essential to a robust and burgeoning economy is my vision for North Carolina to be First In Healthy: a) Healthy Economy for Business and Consumers, b) Healthy Education System for Workforce Readiness, and c) Healthy Population for Thriving Families and Sustainable Workforce. In combination, First In Healthy will modernize our business processes and communicate to the State, Country and the World that North Carolina is enthusiastically open and ready for business.

I will aggressively advocate to the General Assembly to pass tax reduction policies to stimulate and turbocharge the economy. In that regard, I will advocate for tax relief urgently for all citizens to achieve zero percent state income tax by 2028. As part of this vision and plan I will champion zero percent state income tax for senior citizens, teachers and active duty military to become effective in the very next biennial budget.  Equally crucial to a booming economy is a reduction in red tape and overburdensome regulations. As such, I will fight for more ''Sandbox'' initiatives for other major segments of our economy including for example, agriculture, insurance and education; like we've already done for the banking and financial sector.

and I will vigorously advocate for and facilitate public-private partnerships across all sectors of our economy. To achieve this, I will embark on statewide and national travels aimed at promoting market expansion and attracting new businesses to North Carolina. Furthermore, I will take the lead in assembling a delegation that includes our Senators and other dedicated elected officials, all sharing the common goal of making North Carolina the premier destination for business in the United States. My unwavering dedication to economic expansion is resolute. Learn more
