Why are you running for office?
I am running to be North Carolina’s next State Auditor because I believe that now, more than ever, we need government to be accountable to taxpayers. We need a conservative to count the money.
If you are elected, what will be your top priority in office?
On Day one, we will audit the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) for efficiency with the goal to provide solid recommendations to make that agency more effective, customer-service oriented, and responsive to the citizens of NC.
What is the top challenge facing North Carolina, and how would you address it?
Keeping our economy growing while maintaining the character of our State is the number 1 challenge. As State Auditor, I pledge to fight waste, fraud and abuse of tax dollars, to work at making NC agencies more efficient, and to hold government at all levels accountable so our limited resources can be used to benefit all North Carolinians.
What is an issue in North Carolina you feel not enough people are talking about it? How would you use the power and influence you’d have in this position to address it?
I think we can all agree that government can be more efficient. We will start in Day Ine with a top to bottom audit if the DMV to make it more efficient and customer-service oriented.
How do you work with others you don’t agree with?
As the State Auditor it is important to leave the political party label at the door, without sacrificing my ideals, my conservative approach and morals to do the work of holding government accountable on behalf of all North Carolinians.
