We need to give the power back to our educators in the classrooms and allow teachers to make decisions that best suit their students’ needs. Education is not a business and I do not want any child feeling like a commodity without a voice.

I am running because the promises made to North Carolinians are not being kept, and I have seen the direct impact of this failure in our classrooms.  

My public service is built on a foundation of three core principles; transparency, fiscal responsibility and community-first governance.
