Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I am seeking legislative office in state government because the Republican and Democrat parties have done such a poor job of managing the affairs of North Carolina. Government ought to be efficient, economical and minimally invasive. Today it is none of that. I have many proposals for practical and workable solutions to reduce the size and cost of our state government.
