Josh’s Priorities
Making the Economy Work for Everyone
Everybody deserves a fair shot at prosperity – to get a good job or start a business – anywhere in this state, including small town North Carolina. If you work hard, where you come from should never limit how far you can go.
Improving Education
There is no greater priority than ensuring our kids get the quality education they need to succeed in life. Yet, North Carolina spends less than nearly all other states in the nation on public school funding as a share of our state’s economy – 49th out of 50! It’s a disgrace. The state legislature is making it harder for our children to learn and compete by defunding public education.
Building a Strong Workforce
North Carolina’s greatest asset is our people. That’s why investing in public education, workforce development, and job training is critical to a brighter future.
Keeping North Carolinians Safe
No one should have to worry whether their kids are safe when they’re at school or at play or whether their loved ones are safe when they’re at work or at worship.
Addressing Housing Affordability
A home should be more than just a roof over your head – it should also be an anchor in a community that’s safe with good schools and jobs and a way for your family to build wealth.
Increasing Access to Health Care
Every North Carolinian should be able to get good health care, no matter where you live or how much money you earn.
Standing Up for Women’s Freedom
Deciding whether and when to have a baby is the most personal decision a woman can make. It is a decision that a woman should make with her loved ones and her doctor.
Protecting our fundamental rights
Every North Carolinian deserves to live in a state where they have the freedom to vote, to make their own health care decisions, and to live their lives free from discrimination. My faith teaches me that we’re all children of God, and I believe that hate and bigotry have no place in North Carolina.
Strengthening Rural Communities
For our state’s rural communities not only to survive, but to thrive, we need to protect them and invest in them.
Supporting Small Businesses
Small business is critical to North Carolina’s economy. They provide job opportunities for 1.7 million North Carolinians, serve their communities, and drive innovation in our state.
Protecting & Preserving Our Natural Beauty
North Carolina is home to incredible natural beauty – from the Blue Ridge Mountains to our barrier islands and everywhere in between. And clean air and water are a critical part of our quality of life and a source of our economic strength.
Supporting Veterans and their Families
North Carolina is home to more than 100,000 active-duty military personnel and nearly 800,000 veterans. Those who served in our armed forces are among the best our country has to offer, and they deserve our gratitude, not only when they protect our interests around the world, but also when they come home.
Making Government Work for the People
North Carolinians deserve a government that works for them. This General Assembly has gerrymandered districts to discriminate against voters so they can cling to power.
