Criminal Justice / Public Safety A lawful society, free from mob rule and violent insurrection, is not possible without law enforcement. I am a supporter of the 2nd Amendment and I stand with the men and women who are our law enforcement officers that risk their lives every day to uphold the law and keep our community safe. They deserve our full support and respect – now more than ever. I support properly funding the members of our law enforcement, and I oppose eliminating or reducing the funding for these brave individuals, because to do so will have a negative effect on the safety and security of all North Carolinians, such as increasing 9-1-1 response times for emergencies like break-ins and violent crimes in your neighborhood. In fact, I have signed a pledge that I stand with America’s police and I will oppose any bill, resolution, or movement to ''Defund the Police''. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Rather than dealing with numerous gun Bills that might offer a partial solution, we need comprehensive reform that reviews and addresses the status of our current mental health services, social and criminal justice reforms, and existing gun laws. Addressing one symptom while not addressing all the causes of this madness will do little to advert a future tragedy. It is time for leaders in government at the local, state and federal levels to work together for the good of all our citizens instead of pandering to their political base.

Economy The success of the Port of Wilmington is essential to keeping our local economy growing. During my time in the State House, I’ve worked closely with the NC Ports Authority to ensure they are receiving the resources and support they need and deserve from the state. Kudos to the NC Ports Authority and all of the men and women working hard at our port every day on this great honor!

Representative Ted Davis Jr. Supports public charter schools so that all families, not just the select few, can have a choice in their children's schooling. Legislation Human trafficking, especially involving our children, is an absolutely terrible act that cannot be tolerated. I will continue to fight against this despicable act and support bringing those who engage in this unacceptable activity to a harsh punishment.
