I wasnât born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

My father was an alcoholic who beat my mother. He died when I was in the fifth grade, and I was terrified. He had been the sole provider for our household. I remember sitting on the porch wondering where Iâd be in five years. Would I be in a shelter? In foster care? Would I be separated from my brothers and sisters? [Support Mark Robinson]( A few days after my father died, my momâs friend came by. She explained that now that her husband was gone, my mother could kick her feet up and relax because the government would take care of everything. But that wasnât my mom. As soon as her friend left, she got up and walked over to the local university and got a job as a janitor. She had a fifth-grade education and five kids to provide for. She chose to clean up for other kids to provide for her own. She didnât just rise to the challenge, she excelled. She gave a sense of calm and purpose to us. From that point on, we always had what we needed…very little of what we wanted, but always what we needed. My mother was and always will be my hero. She showed me what strength and perseverance looked like first hand, and she taught me that with faith and hard work, I could achieve anything. Those early years of hardship were just the beginning of my struggles. My wife and I have endured a lot. I lost not one, but two jobs due to NAFTA. We lost homes, cars, and were even forced into bankruptcy. I remember lying awake at night wondering how I was going to pay the bills. But I never forgot what my mother taught me, and we never gave up. Together, my wife of over 30 years and I persevered and raised two incredible children. Now we have two amazing grandkids. [Support Mark Robinson]( In 2018, my life changed when I gave a speech to the Greensboro city council that went viral. A year later, I launched my campaign for Lieutenant Governor, and when I was elected in 2020, I became the first black Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina. As Lieutenant Governor, I have had the privilege to work on a lot of issues, but my main focus has been on education. It is a passion of mine, and the reason I ran for Lieutenant Governor. I have been a vocal proponent of parents knowing what their children are being taught. I have supported providing opportunities for all students to have an education that best suits them, whether thatâs in a private school, charter school, home school, or public school. [Support Mark Robinson]( Now, Iâve thrown my hat in the ring to be the next Governor of North Carolina. Not because I want to be Governor. My campaign for Governor is not about want. ITâS ABOUT SERVICE. Some day, you and I will be gone. And I donât want my family to see a picture of me and wonder why I didnât fight for them. I want my children and grandchildren to know that I did everything I could. Thatâs what Iâm fighting for. And thatâs why Iâm running for Governor. Now, Iâm asking for your help. This is going to be the most contested and most expensive governorâs race in the country. As North Carolina goes, the nation goes. So I hope you will consider making a contribution to my campaign today. [Whether itâs $500 or just $5, every single donation will get us one step closer to making history.]( [Donate Now](
