I am a career educator with a passion for serving the people of our district who have been betrayed by Virginia Foxx and her callous voting record in Congress. I want people to come away from these debates knowing that I am the candidate who will best represent their values, understand the needs of their communities, and always place their best interests above political gain.

Her party has borrowed and spent their way into the history books as having racked up more debt than all previous administrations combined. Her party has led us to the brink and instead of taking responsibility she has chosen to resort to name calling and scare tactics.
