A NEW VOICE FOR NORTH CAROLINA'S 5TH DISTRICT

Washington isn't broken by accident. It's broken because career politicians stay too long, collect too much money, and stop listening.

I'm running to be a new voice — with new perspective, new ideas, and new hope for our district.

I believe in term limits because public service was never meant to be a lifetime career. Our founders expected citizens to serve, then return home — not build power, wealth, and influence by staying in office for decades.

I believe money corrupts politics. That's why I'm taking no donations and no endorsements. No PACs. No lobbyists. No strings. You can't represent working families if you're financially tied to the system that's failing them.

Career politicians talk about reform — but they benefit from the status quo. They raise millions, protect their seats, and tell voters change takes time. Meanwhile, costs rise, opportunity disappears, and rural communities are told to wait.

I'm not here to manage decline. I'm here to challenge the system.

• Term limits
• No money in politics
• Accountability to the people

If you believe it's time for a new voice — not another recycled politician — I'd be honored to earn your support.
