Education We must offer excellent education choices to our citizens – public, private, and home education. Our public school teachers feel undervalued and under-resourced, and we must respect them for the professionals they are. Economy Leading the state’s largest private economic development enterprise, I learned the impact of excessive taxes and regulations. I saw ways state government can foster job growth or kill it. This type of private sector experience is missing from our halls of government. I will work with community economic development leaders to ensure our community fosters job growth — from new businesses as well as existing local job providers. Government Reform We have too many government regulations infringing on the free market. Raleigh doesn’t know best. Moreover, local cities and counties are closest to their communities and we should respect their governance. Taxes / Budget Cutting taxes and putting more money back in the pockets of individuals and small businesses has been one of Paul Newton’s top priorities. Guns Protect the 2nd Amendment. Wages / Job Benefits I will work with community economic development leaders to ensure our community fosters job growth — from new businesses as well as existing local job providers.
