Agriculture is vital to North Carolina’s economy.

Any regulation in any industry that hinders business and does not provide meaningful impact on customer protection should be removed. Red tape from overly burdensome regulations hinders economic development and job growth. Regulatory agencies should provide the guardrails to ensure companies are acting in a responsible manner and that everyone is playing by the same rules. Agencies should never turn guardrails into roadblocks. We need to ensure that agencies work quickly and efficiently. Delays from agencies on permitting, licensing, and approval for projects cost time and money; and are a disservice to North Carolina’s taxpayers. Learn more

This means investing in rural broadband, safe and wide roadways, coastal protections, robust bridges, and well-maintained ports. When we have quality infrastructure, we will have sustained economic growth for all. Learn more
