David Hill

Environment / Energy We know that balancing our county’s growth and protecting our environment doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive. Unfortunately, statewide wetland protections were rolled back in 2023, opening up millions of acres of previously protected land to developers. David understands that New Hanover County’s environment and economy are tied to each other and will fight to reinstate environmental protections so that as we grow, we also protect the land, water, and people that power our local economy. Education David is determined to protect North Carolina's legacy of exceptional public education. That means fully funding our local schools, investing in our teachers, and giving parents and children the resources they need to thrive. Economy David believes in growing our economy from the bottom up and the middle out by investing in our people and our community. He will fight to lower taxes on families, crack down on price gouging, invest in public education to attract high-paying jobs, and support local businesses and the film industry. Criminal Justice / Public Safety No one should worry whether their kids are safe while they’re at school or play or whether their family will be the next one devastated by the fentanyl crisis. David believes nothing is more important than keeping us safe and will ensure that our local law and enforcement officials have the resources they need to protect and serve our community. Abortion / Contraception David will fight to cut healthcare costs and protect access to reproductive care, contraception, and IVF.
