Honored to be endorsed by Wendell Comm. Dustin Ingalls! 🤝
My record in Raleigh:
✅ Ended exclusionary zoning
✅ Expanded missing middle housing
✅ Built workforce housing on surplus land
Now, I'm taking this countywide. Teachers & first responders shouldn't be priced out of the towns they serve. 🏗️

Transgender children and adults exist, and their lived experiences and humanity are real. Denying the existence of transgender people causes real harm, especially for young people who already face disproportionate discrimination, harassment, and mental health challenges.
“It was never my intention to cause pain or division, nor to bring harm to my employer or to those I love and have supported for many years.”

The housing shortage is a central driver of inequality, displacement, and economic insecurity in Wake County. I’m proud to have championed zoning reform in Raleigh. It’s great to see Mayor Zohran adopt an abundance and reform agenda. It’s not progressive to oppose new housing.
On his first day, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed two executive orders aimed at accelerating housing production;
1) Land Inventory Fast Track to identify city-owned sites for housing.
2) Streamlining task force to cut permitting and bureaucratic barriers slowing construction.

Next year, a North Carolina couple making $85,000/year will pay $17,180 more for health insurance premiums.
This is why our government is shut down and why Democrats are standing firm.
