Civil Rights

Embracing diversity, equality, and constitutional values should be the cornerstone of our party’s ideology. The regression towards discriminatory policies contradicts the historical Republican legacy of championing civil rights. It’s imperative to uphold the principles of ‘We the People,’ ensuring equality and justice for all, irrespective of race, creed, gender, or sexual orientation. Learn more

Stressing diversity, equality, and constitutional rights for all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation, race, or gender identity, should be fundamental in our party’s ideology. This perspective challenges the typical narrative associated with the Republican Party by the left and the media, which erroneously portrays it as diverging from historical support for civil rights and diversity. Regrettably, many within our party inadvertently reinforce the beliefs held by the left, suggesting a deviation from these core values, contrary to our historical stance. Learn more

Defense / Veterans

The importance of the Second Amendment extends beyond the practical aspects of self-defense and national security. It’s a symbol of our commitment to the principles upon which this nation was founded – freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It reminds us that we are a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, and that our Constitution is a living document that should always be defended. Learn more

We MUST support our armed forces, which means setting proper rules of combat that protect our troops, not allowing woke politics to interfere with the safety of our troops, and having the proper equipment and living conditions for our active-duty military and their families. As for veterans and those coming out of the service, we should have programs set up to transition them back to being citizen civilians. We have a massive homelessness issue with our vets and this must end NOW. As well as we have to improve the VA and Medical system for our active and veteran military. They gave their best for our country and we should be giving them the best we have back. God Bless Our Armed Forces. Learn more

Our saving grace, the steadfast defense against this advancing intrusion, is the US Constitution. It stands as a testament to the wisdom of our forefathers who understood the importance of preserving state autonomy. if I am elected as your future Lt Governor, I pledge to be a staunch defender of this constitutional fortress. Learn more

Take, for instance, the recent debate over providing foreign aid to Ukraine to support their efforts in a proxy war with Russia. While we empathize with the Ukrainian people and their struggle for sovereignty, we must ask ourselves whether it’s our primary responsibility to fund their defense. The conservative perspective argues that we should prioritize our own national security and economic stability above all else. Learn more

Drug Policy

Similarly, the illicit drug trade flourishes where borders are porous and enforcement is lax. Drug cartels capitalize on the lack of stringent controls, using open borders as conduits for nefarious activities, posing a direct threat to the safety of our citizens and undermining the fabric of law and order.

Economy

North Carolina has the potential to be a beacon of economic opportunity, and I am committed to playing a role in that transformation. By championing job security, driving job growth, and maximizing economic opportunities, we can make North Carolina not just good, but great for every citizen. Together, let’s embark on a journey that empowers our workforce, revitalizes our economy, and ensures a prosperous future for all. Learn more

Economic opportunities should be accessible to all North Carolinians. This means investing in education and vocational training, equipping our workforce with the skills needed for the jobs of tomorrow. It means supporting small businesses, the backbone of our economy, and ensuring that every community has the tools to prosper. Learn more

Education

In closing, our children are not just the future; they are the architects of it. By prioritizing quality education, involving parents in the learning journey, supporting school choice, investing in infrastructure, and recognizing the value of diverse career pathways, we can lay the foundation for a brighter, more prosperous North Carolina. If you choose to elect me as your future Lieutenant Governor, I promise to carry these priorities forward, ensuring that the voice of the people resonates in the halls of decision-making. Learn more

I support homeschooling, charter schools, and private schools as an alternative to public schooling, parents should be allowed to know what is going on in their children’s schools, I would ask for more involvement with parents and teachers, lesson plans should be given in advance to parents, and I would like to see cameras in the classrooms so both teachers and students can be monitored by the parents. Learn more

This is why I call for Police Reform, which means putting more funding into the police force not less. This would include adding cameras for All officers, and an auditing system for randomized video viewing to ensure proper procedures are being taken at all times by our police. As well as education and community relationship building that is needed to build a better America. Learn more

Every child deserves a sound education, and that’s only possible when families are able to choose the school environment that’s right for them. Learn more

In this pursuit, I stand firm in advocating for robust safety measures, comprehensive education on potential threats, and strategic disaster planning. If entrusted with the role of Lieutenant Governor, I will tirelessly work towards ensuring that North Carolina remains a beacon of safety, preparedness, and resilience in the face of any challenges that may come our way. Together, let us fortify our state, protect our citizens, and uphold the values that define us as Americans. Learn more

Moving beyond K-12, we must recognize the diverse pathways to success. Not every student’s journey leads to a four-year university, and that’s perfectly okay. We need to champion vocational and technical education, community colleges, and trade schools. A diversified workforce is the key to economic resilience. As your potential Lieutenant Governor if the voters choose me, I pledge to be a voice on councils and boards that shape the future of North Carolina’s education system. Learn more

Infrastructure is the backbone of progress, and our education system is no exception. As our population grows, so does the demand for quality educational facilities. We need modern, well-equipped schools that foster an environment conducive to learning. Investing in infrastructure is an investment in our future. Learn more

Now, let’s talk about school choice. Every child is unique, and their educational needs vary. School choice is not about dismantling the public education system; it’s about offering parents the flexibility to choose the best educational path for their children. Whether it’s a traditional public school, a charter school, or a private institution, parents should have the autonomy to make decisions that align with their children’s learning styles and needs. Learn more

But education doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s a partnership between schools and parents. We must bridge the gap between home and school, involving parents in the curriculum decisions to ensure that it resonates with the values and aspirations of our community. When parents are engaged, students thrive. It’s a formula for success that we must champion. Learn more

Firstly, quality education is the cornerstone of a thriving society. It’s not just about what we teach our children but how we teach them. We need dedicated educators, modern resources, and innovative teaching methods that foster critical thinking and creativity. Our schools should be hubs of inspiration, equipping students with the skills they need to face an ever-evolving world. Learn more

Fellow neighbors as we stand on the precipice of our future, there’s a pressing matter that demands our attention and that is the state of our education system. Education is not merely about filling young minds with facts; it’s about empowering the next generation to navigate the complexities of the world they’ll inherit. Today, I want to talk to you about the urgent need for quality education in our schools, the importance of parental involvement in shaping curricula, the significance of school choice, and the critical role infrastructure plays in preparing our youth for the diverse career opportunities that lie ahead.

Environment / Energy

Furthermore, NAFTA did not have adequate mechanisms to address environmental and labor standards effectively. This lack of oversight allowed Mexican industries to operate with fewer regulations, putting American businesses at a disadvantage. It also led to environmental degradation along the U.S.-Mexico border, impacting local communities’ health and quality of life. Learn more

Job growth isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. It’s about creating an environment where businesses can thrive, innovate, and, most importantly, hire. By facilitating a conducive atmosphere for entrepreneurship and business development, we can ensure that North Carolina remains an economic powerhouse. Learn more

Immigration

The notion of open borders, rooted in compassion, inadvertently becomes a gateway for criminal enterprises. Child trafficking, a reprehensible crime thriving in the shadows of uncontrolled borders, finds cover in the absence of proper immigration enforcement. It is our duty to safeguard our communities, especially the vulnerable, from such grave threats. Learn more

I propose a 25-year moratorium on immigration (unless by strict exceptions) and an immediate stop to illegal immigration. Others call for 10 years; I believe at this point we need a much longer time considering the issues we face in this country we have to solve. Learn more

As your potential Lieutenant Governor, I am deeply committed to addressing these challenges head-on and ensuring the safety and security of our citizens. I am resolute in my commitment to protect North Carolina citizens. This includes taking a firm stance against illegal immigration and advocating for comprehensive border security measures. While we are a nation built on principles of compassion and openness, it is imperative that we balance these values with a robust commitment to safeguarding our borders. Learn more
