Standing Up for Working Families
POWER BACK TO THE PEOPLE
Working families built this country, and it’s time they get their fair share.
I grew up in a working-class town where people survived on grit, not privilege. I know what it takes to earn a living and I know what happens when politicians and corporations sell workers out. That’s true for factory workers, teachers, and family farmers who are the backbone of North Carolina.
Raise wages so full-time work means security, not poverty.
Repeal “Right to Work” laws that weaken unions and keep pay low.
Support family farms, support trades, and invest in the infrastructure to bring good jobs home.
Fair
Wages
Nobody working full-time should live in poverty. Raising the federal minimum wage will give families stability and restore dignity to the work that keeps this country alive.
Union
Rights
Anti-worker laws have weakened unions and kept wages low for decades. Protecting the right to organize will empower workers to demand fair pay and safe workplaces across North Carolina.
Good Jobs & Family Farms
Investing in infrastructure, skilled trades, and family farms will create jobs that cannot be outsourced. Rural communities deserve opportunities that sustain both workers and the land they depend on.
Corporate Accountability
Billionaires dodge taxes while workers and farmers struggle to survive. Cracking down on union-busting CEOs and holding corporations accountable will finally put power back where it belongs: with working families.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Here’s the truth about standing up for working families.
This country was built by working people, not hedge fund managers. And it’s time we put power back where it belongs: in the hands of the folks who clock in, punch out, and keep this country alive. Too many politicians dodge these conversations. I won’t. I’ve lived this life, and I know what’s at stake for workers, farmers, and families across North Carolina.
Why do you fight so hard for unions?
Because unions built the middle class. Organizing gives workers power, raises wages, and protects communities. Without strong unions, workers are left at the mercy of corporations.
What about “Right to Work” laws in North Carolina?
These laws were written to weaken workers. Repealing them will allow unions to bargain for fair wages, safe conditions, and the dignity every worker deserves.
How will you bring good jobs to rural areas?
I will push for investments in infrastructure, skilled trades, and family farms. North Carolina’s rural communities deserve jobs that sustain families and keep towns alive.
What sets you apart from other politicians on labor issues?
I am a union man myself. I have walked the picket lines, fought for fair wages, and never backed down from CEOs or politicians who sold out workers.
Why should working families trust you?
Because I have lived their life. I grew up in a working-class town, saw my father work long hours, and I will never forget where I came from.
