I'm running for NC District 11's seat in Congress. I’ve spent a decade working in direct care and as an advocate. I’ve helped people who were taking the first steps into recovery, people facing some of their hardest moments, with people who were determined to do what they had to to change their lives. Now, I'm going to take that experience to fight for WNC.
• The people of Western North Carolina have taught me what true strength is, true resilience, and what it means to fight back when our back’s against the wall. That’s the reason I’m running for Congress—for you. Not for a party, not for out-of-touch billionaires, and most certainly not for company interests.
• This campaign focuses first and foremost on the people. I believe in public service over political theater. I believe in standing up instead of staying silent.
• Everyone is entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
• Medicare and Social Security aren’t handouts—they’re promises that we made to our seniors. Promises that must be kept and a promise that says—no matter what, we’ll take care of you.
• No one should be forced to choose between a roof over their head and their health.
• Our students and teachers need fully funded, restored schools that support the growth of everyone.
• You shouldn’t have to work two jobs just to barely make ends meet.
• The people of WNC continue to inspire me every day to fight for all of us. We don’t hesitate to help each other. We face hard times together. We’re the very definition of resilience while our representatives stand by and do nothing to help. We’re both the immovable object and the unstoppable force.
In Congress I will:
• Strengthen Social Security by closing tax loopholes for the ultra wealthy, ensuring long-term program stability.
• Increase staffing to expand our ability to support our seniors and disabled neighbors.
• Reject every attempt to privatize the vital institutions of Social Security and Medicare.
• Restore funding and expand Medicare to cover vision, dental, and hearing.
• Lower prescription drug costs by allowing Medicare to negotiate prices while also fighting to cap out-of-pocket expenses for seniors and working families.
• Expand Medicaid to cover more of our neighbors in need.
• Protect our community’s healthcare by expanding hospitals and clinics, including clinics for our Veterans in rural areas.
• Support our nurses by ensuring safe staffing levels so everyone has access to quality healthcare.
• Increase funding for Healthcare facilities so no one has to drive hours for basic medical care.
• Invest in our school infrastructure and increase school funding.
• Increase teacher pay so that they’re not driven out of education because they can’t afford to eat.
• Expand access to vocational and technical training to present every student with a path to whatever career they wish to pursue.
• Fully fund special education and mental health services so every child has access to every tool they need to succeed.
• Resuscitate our economy by cutting company tax breaks.
• Provide tax incentives and grants for small businesses that hire locally and offer competitive wages.
• Invest in research that creates new job opportunities.
• Hold companies accountable for price gouging.
• Expand USDA programs to prioritize our farmers, give them resources to achieve competitive pricing and bring food costs down, and get them the help they need to continue to adapt.
I’ve lived in WNC for over a decade, and in that time, I’ve come to know the many communities that make these mountains home. I’m here today because of the people who showed me love, and I feel driven to give that love back. I wasn’t sure how best to do that—so I asked my community what they need and what they believe must change.
Whoever we send to Washington must fight for us and refuse to back down. They must unconditionally oppose bowing down to some faceless donor in a glass tower or the party line, or a wannabe dictator.
When elected, I’m gonna wake up every day and ask a simple question: how can I help the people Western North Carolina?Subscribe to our mailing list for updates, public appearance, and more!
