Issues
Economy and Jobs
Job creation is my top priority.
Education
As the son of a North Carolina public school teacher, I strongly believe an excellent education is the right of every child.
Energy
North Carolinians are reliant on dependable sources of energy in nearly every aspect of our lives.
Immigration
First and foremost, we must secure our border. Border security is the key to effective immigration policy. With more than 11.5 million undocumented immigrants living and working in the United States, it’s obvious that our current system is broken and in need of reform.
Preventing Gun Violence
From my first days in office, I have worked tirelessly to address the root causes of gun violence. Enough is enough.
Social Security
As a nation, we’ve made many promises to our fellow citizens. Through our entitlement programs, retirees are guaranteed a pension through Social Security and access to health care through Medicare, as well as support for the poor and disabled. My mother, a former public school teacher, relies on this support in her retirement.
Tax Reform
The tax code was last reformed in 1986 and is currently around 4 million words long. The degree of difficulty to comply with this outdated system is unnecessary and unfair. With far too many hard-working individuals living paycheck to paycheck, tax reform is needed to lower rates for everyone and allow you to keep more of your hard-earned income.
Voting Record
One of the most important aspects of Congress is developing, making, and monitoring laws. New legislation is passed almost every week. Please contact our office to share your thoughts on current legislation that may affect you, your family and your community.
