Priority Issues:

"As a native, I am well familiar with the people, problems, assets and needs of this District. In particular, I am interested in working to promote job growth in this District, which has missed out on the growth experienced by some of our neighboring counties, and in supporting our educators in their efforts to prepare our children to prosper in this new economy. I feel well prepared to make our concerns known in Raleigh and it would be my privilege to do so."
