Teachers Deserve Better And So Do Our Kids

Our kids rely on free lunch and healthcare just to get by, while teachers struggle to support their own families. It’s time to fix a broken system.

Is American free speech under attack?

from political violence to censorship of media voices. Jimmy Kimmel’s story is just one example. We need to fight back and demand Congress pass the Free Speech Act of 2025 and the NOPE Act.

So you're telling me there's no client list?

I thought the Republicans were suppose to EXPOSE the Epstein Files....

Another lie and failed promise yet again.

When you have billionaires and their surrogates literally proofreading legislation, (i.e. Big Ugly Bill) do you really expect working families to have any voice in the system?

We can't sustain our middle class if the 0.00003% of the population keeps robbing money away from the bottom 50%.

I don’t understand how 99% of Republicans in Congress, including my rep, Chuck Edwards, blindly support anything and everything coming out of the Trump administration.

How is this any different than what happens in the governments of communist countries under corrupt dictators?

I’ve been kayaking North Carolina's steep whitewater for decades.

Dancing with the unpredictability of nature's chaos demands bold action & lightning-FAST reaction.

Politics is like kayaking.

But sadly our politicians act & react with ignorance, drifting us into the rocks...

These images of federal agents raiding a children's park in LA are HORRIFYING.

This is what authoritarianism looks like.

While Trump and his loyalists celebrate immigrant crackdowns, everyday Americans continue to struggle to pay their bills.

Priorities….

We MUST do everything we can to vote out representatives that voted for this ugly bill.

You can take the first step RIGHT NOW by funding my campaign for Congress and the campaign of anyone else willing to buck the system with REAL action against the dark money machine.

Make no mistake: this big ugly bill TAXES working families for simply existing and REWARDS billionaires for abusing the tax code.

Call it what it is: a HEIST.

Trickle-down Economics 2.0. It has NEVER worked and NEVER will.
