I’m running for Congress in North Carolina’s 6th District because government should meet big problems with big-hearted, practical solutions that help the most people. As Mayor of High Point and a small business owner, I’ve delivered results by bringing unlikely partners together and focusing on what works. My goal is simple: make Washington work so families can breathe easier and democracy answers to people, not power. My priorities include lowering the cost of living, protecting healthcare and Social Security, strengthening education and workforce pathways, and preserving our democracy—because families shouldn’t have to choose between rent, medicine, and groceries, and because everyday people, not big donors, should set the agenda.
In my first year, my top priority would be delivering real economic relief for working families by expanding access to affordable housing and lowering everyday costs. Housing affordability is a growing crisis across our district, affecting families, workforce stability, and local economies. Alongside this work, I would prioritize widely supported government reforms that strengthen ethics, transparency, and accountability, protect our democracy, and restore trust in government. I would also focus on bringing federal resources back to the district so communities can grow sustainably and create good-paying jobs. My approach is grounded in practical, bipartisan solutions that deliver results and prove government can work for the people.
I will pursue economic policies that raise wages, lower costs, and provide real security for working families. I support raising the federal minimum wage and ending sub-minimum wages so no one working full-time is left unable to cover basic costs. I favor a responsible, stepwise approach that protects jobs and small businesses, including a phased-in wage increase paired with targeted relief for small employers and strong enforcement against wage theft. I will also fight to ensure access to good-paying jobs, affordable healthcare and housing, education and broadband, clean air and water, secure retirement, and fair banking—so every family has a real shot at stability and opportunity.
I will reduce polarization and improve government effectiveness by advancing reforms that restore trust and realign incentives in public service. I have joined Take BAC Congress, a bipartisan initiative focused on restoring balance, accountability, and public trust through common-sense reforms. I will fight to reduce conflicts of interest by enacting congressional term limits, banning stock trading by members of Congress, overturning Citizens United, enforcing strong ethics rules, and restoring regular order. When voters see transparency, fairness, and competence, polarization drops—and democracy works better. I believe government functions best when leaders prioritize stewardship over self-interest and put people ahead of power.
Yes. I will prioritize environmental policies that treat climate change as a public health and economic issue. I support coordinated federal action to cut pollution, protect frontline communities, and invest in clean air, safe drinking water, and climate resilience. I also support moving toward ending special tax treatment for oil and gas, with a responsible, stepwise approach that removes the most distortionary subsidies first and focuses on the largest producers. Any reforms must include strong worker and community transition support and guardrails to protect energy affordability and reliability, ensuring we cut pollution without harming working families or regional economies.
My campaign is grounded in the belief that government should work for people, not special interests, and that progress is built by bringing communities together around shared goals. I bring proven executive leadership, a record of delivering results, and a community-first approach shaped by service, collaboration, and accountability. I believe every family deserves dignity, opportunity, and a fair shot—no matter their ZIP code. In Congress, I will focus on lowering costs, expanding opportunity, and advancing reforms that strengthen ethics, transparency, and accountability so democracy answers to people, not power. I will listen before acting, lead with integrity, and fight to restore trust by making government work effectively for the public. This campaign is about proving that practical, reform-minded leadership can deliver real results for families across the district.
