Healthcare As a State Senator, I am proud of our bipartisan progress in expanding Medicaid and providing affordable healthcare to more than 600,000 hardworking North Carolinians. As Lt. Governor, I’m dedicated to building on this progress by improving healthcare access in every corner of North Carolina, reducing prescription drug costs, and ensuring that no one has to choose between their health and their wallet. Environment / Energy North Carolina's natural treasures are precious and must be protected — from our mountains in the west to our coast down east and everywhere in between. As Lt. Governor, I’ll work across the aisle, as I’ve always done, to protect our environment and ensure future generations continue to live among the natural beauty in the state we love. Economy As your Lt. Governor, I'm committed to standing up for rural areas, ensuring they have a strong voice in the state government. Together, we will champion economic opportunities, access to quality education, and the good, affordable healthcare that rural North Carolinians deserve. Infrastructure / Transportation I’ll support access to broadband internet, which is essential for economic growth and equity, especially in the rural corners of this state. I'm committed to bridging the digital divide to ensure every corner of our state can participate in the digital economy. Let's invest in our small businesses, expand broadband access, and champion economic opportunities for all North Carolinians, no matter their zip code. Criminal Justice / Public Safety As a mom, I'm dedicated to making North Carolina a safer place for our families. As Lt. Governor, I’ll prioritize common-sense red flag laws to reduce crime and protect our kids from gun violence, and I’ll support our law enforcement officers as they work tirelessly to keep our neighborhoods safe. Working together can create a stronger, safer, more nurturing North Carolina for everyone. Abortion / Contraception I support and trust women to make their own decisions. Further, I support making maternal life-saving measures safe and legal. I will continue to stand up for reproductive rights and fight for access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare. Defense / Veterans I will work tirelessly to help veterans access affordable housing. As a member of the Board of Community Colleges, I’ll work to connect them with world-class job training programs. Our veterans deserve the best opportunities, and I'm dedicated to making that a reality.
