Folks are working even harder to play catch up -- not to mention the endless obstacles we face along the way. {NAME}, This should go without saying, but I’m not a career politician. North Carolina's 14th District is my home and the place I take great pride in being a part of. I’m an educator, a coach and a pastor, and I have invested the future of my family here too. I’m running for Congress because we have work to do. Folks in Western North Carolina are concerned about paying the bills. Times are hard, and folks are working even harder to play catch up -- not to mention the endless obstacles we face along the way. An ongoing pandemic. Fewer and fewer job opportunities. And if folks do get hired, wages are too low. Like you, I’m not about making excuses, but I am ready to rewrite broken policies so we can empower families in our communities.
