<h4>Why I'm running...</h4><p></p><p>(Note: I mention a "housing authority" in this video. I misspoke; it is the Dare Housing Foundation, set up as a non-profit to apply for grants and other funding that a housing authority under the county umbrella would not be able to do.)</p><p></p>

<h4>MEET THE CANDIDATES! (RSVP not required)</h4>

<p>Sixteen houses fell in six weeks! Yes, one groin is being rebuilt, and beach renourishment is scheduled. It's not enough. We need to help homeowners move or safely take down their threatened houses BEFORE they come down and debris washes across Highway 12, making the road impassable in or out. I will push for multiple solutions and help on every level. </p>

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

<h4>St. Patrick's Day Parade, Nags Head</h4>

<p>Come join me and wear your red, white, blue, and green! </p>

<p>RSVP not required but appreciated.</p>

<h4>Raleigh Meet and Greet and Fundraiser</h4>

<p>Hosted by Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and Wake County Commissioner Vickie Adamson, with SPECIAL GUEST Anderson Clayton, Chair of the NC Democratic Party</p>

<p>How frustrating is it to sit down at your computer and not be able to connect to the world? Or to not to see your favorite TV show? Or to not be able to make a phone call to a loved one? These issues happen way too frequently in Dare County, and in 2026, we must find solutions that will work consistently.</p>

<h2>High Speed Broadband</h2>

<p><strong>"Shrimpgate" was a wake-up call for all of us...and it's not over. </strong>We must be vigilant in protecting our commercial fishermen, and also make sure that our visitors can enjoy recreational fishing without arbitrary limits on their catches that are unsupported by recent and reputable scientific data.</p>

<h2>Fairer Fishing Regulations</h2>

<p><strong>The health care we have in Dare County is excellent. </strong>But we need more specialists, and more nurses and doctors. And Hatteras Island needs an urgent care facility. And daycare is a problem throughout the county. The Dare County Board of Commissioners should lead the way in searching for solutions. We need to keep pushing on these quality of life issues.</p>

<h2>Access to Healthcare and Daycare</h2>

<p><span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">The Housing Task Force spent two years studying our housing problems from eve</strong>ry angle. We now have a Housing Foundation in its early stages. I will provide constant oversight, so that we don't continue to lose good people and quality of life every day by failing to move forward on this important issue.</span></p>
