Priority Issues:

All children deserve a world-class education that prepares them to compete in the global economy. North Carolina built its reputation on its investment in public education and now it's time to revive that legacy.

  • Everyone deserves quality, affordable health care. We need a system that our citizens trust to properly balance care and cost.
  • Everyone who wants to work should be able to find work. Our state needs new industry, and that means a new vision for our economic future.
  • Everyone deserves a fair political process and genuine political leadership. Gerrymandered districts and attempts to restrict certain groups of people from voting should be part of our distant past.
