Endorsement from North Carolina Chamber | Eastern North Carolina Now

News Release:

    The North Carolina Chamber announced yesterday their endorsement supporting my re-election bid to the North Carolina State Senate for District 1. I am committed to lowering taxes and strengthening accountability in the use of our tax payer dollars. Last year, I voted to pass a tax reform that immediately moved North Carolina from the bottom of national rankings to the 17th best business tax climate in America. I will continue to advocate for a stronger economy through better education, infrastructure and regulatory reform.

    "These pro-jobs candidates understand the policies that enhance North Carolina's business climate, improve our education and talent supply system, develop our infrastructure, and boost entrepreneurship and innovation," said Lew Ebert, president and CEO of the North Carolina Chamber. "As a result of pro-growth policies advanced the last two years, businesses of all sizes that employ millions of North Carolinians can look to expand, spurring further business investments and job creation. However, there is work still to be done, and we know that we can count on these leaders to focus on policies that equip North Carolina to create 1 million new jobs over the next 15 years."
Last Friday, Oct. 03, I attended the Currituck County Chamber of Commerce annual meeting and awards luncheon.
