I’m running because I know what it means to grow up watching your parents work multiple jobs just to get by and how powerful a good education and a strong community can be in changing a child’s future. As a mother, a public servant, and a lifelong North Carolinian, I’ve seen firsthand that when leaders show up and listen, kids and working families thrive. I first ran to be a voice for students who were being overlooked, especially Black and brown children, and that commitment has guided me at every level of service. In Congress, I’m running to keep fighting for opportunity, dignity, and a future where everyone has a fair shot.
