Issues

Creating Jobs

John has run a successful business and knows what it takes to meet payroll, meet the day to day demands of running a business and create jobs. He’ll take that experience to Raleigh to help build a job friendly climate that both encourages growth of existing local businesses and family farmers, and attracts good paying jobs to our community and our state.

Smaller, Smarter Government

During these tough economic times families are making difficult choices every day while struggling to pay their bills. Government needs to make the same sacrifices we are. Raising taxes and borrowing more on the backs of our children and grandchildren must stop.  John will work to implement policies that save money by reducing and streamlining state government and let you keep more of what you earn.

Results Oriented Education

A world-class education is essential to our children’s future.  John believes educators and administrators should be rewarded for exceptional academic results delivered in the most cost effective manner. At the same time, we must provide our teachers with the tools for success and the latitude to employ their most innovative teaching methods.
