Candidate campaign statement
Wages and economic security
I am running to help working families in Jackson, Swain and Transylvania counties. You need someone who will listen to you and give voice to your concerns in Raleigh. State legislators should be accountable to voters, and should focus more on issues that matter to your family. We need access to affordable health care and housing, and we must invest in our public schools. I’ll encourage economic growth that produces jobs that pay a living wage, so that the people who work here can afford to live here.

Housing and household costs
We all know that working families are having a tough time. Costs are rising and affordable housing is hard to find. It’s difficult to make ends meet, and you shouldn’t have to work two or three jobs just to make ends meet.

Wages and economic security
Our workers deserve a living wage, and our government should support affordable housing efforts. I’ll lobby for more state resources for infrastructure and high-speed internet in WNC so we can keep the businesses we have – and attract new ones.
