Get StartedI have the greatest appreciation for the men and women who serve in uniform and I will always work to ensure they have the support and resources they need to be successful in North Carolina. Learn more
As the state continues to see economic growth in the future, it is critical that we continue down this successful and proven path of lower taxes and less regulations that has created an environment that is welcoming to new jobs, businesses and economic opportunities for all. Learn more
Agriculture forms the backbone of our state’s economy, and I will always fight for our family farms and agriculture producers. Learn more
It is my top priority to ensure our students and their education are put above all else and that parents – who know their children’s needs the most – are empowered and involved in their child's education. We should be encouraging parents to participate in our schools, not threatening or silencing them. I applaud parents, grandparents, concerned citizens and groups who are standing up for our children and their education. Since being elected in 2012, I’m proud to have supported policies that prioritize students, parents and teachers through more funding for our classrooms, smaller class sizes, expanded school choice, increased transparency and a stronger focus on early education. I have also supported pay raises for our teachers each year that I have been in office, which has resulted in the average teacher salary surpassing 50,000 a year for the first time ever. Going forward, I will continue to support policies that empower parents, prevent indoctrination, support teachers and ensure greater transparency in schools. Learn more

Agriculture is our state's number one economic driver and forms the backbone of our state, particularly in Eastern North Carolina. From sweet potatoes and tobacco to hogs and poultry, we have a strong and rich history of farming and agriculture in our region. If it wasn’t for agribusiness, so many small town would not exist today. That's why I was proud to help lead the fight in support of North Carolina farmers who are being targeted by out-of-state trial lawyers and extreme environmentalists who want to put them out of business. People need to know that food does not come from the grocery store – it comes from hard work on our family farms. I will always fight and advocate for our family farmers and support policies that protect, promote and preserve our agriculture heritage. Learn more
As a life-long sportsman and the former Chairman of the North Carolina Sportsmen's Caucus, I have been a leading voice in Raleigh for protecting and advancing our hunting and fishing traditions in North Carolina. I believe we can promote wildlife conservation while continuing the tradition of hunting the vast land our state has to offer and fishing the creeks, rivers, and ocean we are lucky to call our own. In the General Assembly, I led the effort to get legislations signed into law to promote youth participation in outdoor recreational activities and 7-day hunting. I am very proud of our North Carolina sportsmen traditions and will always work to ensure they are respected and passed down to future generations. Learn more
