I PLEDGE TO LOOK FOR CREATIVE NEW PATHS TO ENSURE THE PROSPERITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE in Orange County. Our schools are losing students and losing ground. It’s not enough to blame the General Assembly. We have to partner with both school systems, Durham Tech and UNC to support affordable housing for staff, support teacher development, and develop exciting career paths for our youth.

I will work to bring together political, business and education leaders as well as parents and students to create a shared vision for Orange County’s future.
