Get StartedAs a Christian, I am passionately Pro-Life. I truly believe that every baby is a unique human being of infinite intrinsic value, created in the image of almighty God. I will fight with all my heart to protect these precious innocent lives by working to make North Carolina a Sanctuary State for the unborn. I will fight to preserve human dignity not only at the beginning of life, but at the end of life as well. Learn more
From homelessness, to opioid addictions, to inadequate healthcare, in many cases we are failing our veterans. As Senator, I will do everything in my power to support our veterans and to treat these heroes with the respect and dignity they so rightly deserve Learn more
Not only will I fight to keep taxes low, but I will also fight to reform occupational licensure laws so we can foster an economic environment most conducive to small business startups. Learn more
As Senator, I will fight for the highest standards of quality in education by promoting School Choice and Open Enrollment. No one knows the individual needs and interests of a child better than the parent. By granting education dollars directly to parents in the form of a voucher or an Education Savings Account, the money would follow the student. Whether private, public, parochial, charter, or homeschool, every child should have the opportunity to receive a high quality education and every parent should be empowered with the freedom to choose where their child attends school.

We must do everything in our power to protect our environment. That’s why I fully support two of the cleanest and most efficient forms of energy available, nuclear and natural gas. As Senator, I will empower private industry to find innovative solutions for keeping our environment safe and clean, while also promoting efficient energy sources by limiting the scope of burdensome government regulations.

the problem is that the cost of healthcare is too high. Policy makers should be focusing on free market solutions that get the government out of the way and drive down the cost of care. We should focus on promoting market innovations such as Direct Primary Care as well as new innovative medical technologies. We should also focus on empowering small businesses with health insurance benefits options such as Association Health plans. Learn more
Economists nearly universally agree that raising the minimum wage is a terrible idea that will inevitably result in higher unemployment and a net loss in take home pay for the very people minimum wage hikes are intended to help. This is an economic reality that is tragically played out every time the minimum wage is increased. One of the worst mistakes we can make from a public policy standpoint is judging a policy or program on its intent and not its effects. Raising the minimum wage hurts the poor and disproportionately harms the age bracket of 16 to 24 (the bracket most likely to work minimum wage jobs.) I care too much about the young working men and women of our State to allow their jobs to be legislated into oblivion with well intentioned, but ultimately destructive minimum wage hikes. Learn more
