Healthcare

Amy believes in common sense policies like expanding Medicaid and lowering the outrageous costs of prescription drugs in order to help people in need. There are extreme inequities in the current system and Amy is committed to helping more families and communities access quality health insurance.

The Environment

Men and women help each other to collect garbage.

Clean air and clean water are fundamental human rights. Too long have polluters been allowed to poison our natural resources, and it’s time our legislature took a stand. Amy is not only committed to implementing regulations that will protect our public lands and resources but also seeks to make North Carolina a leader in the fight against climate change by investing in renewable energy projects across the state.

Education and Childcare

Amy is dedicated to improving communities across North Carolina and she sees investing in public education and childcare as a way to not only lift up future generations but relieve some of the strain on working parents today. Amy wants to change the conversation away from culture war topics, such as banning books, and towards solutions such as expanded Pre-K, improved teacher pay, and reliable internet in every classroom. We need to ensure that every child in the state can receive a quality education.

Protecting Women

Women’s rights and bodies are under attack around the country, and we must protect women from losing access to essential services and healthcare. Amy believes that we must fight for women by protecting their right to choose, cracking down on workplace discrimination and domestic violence, and expanding services such as prenatal care and paid family leave.

Affordable Housing

There is a growing housing shortage in North Carolina that is raising prices and hurting those most in need. Amy will reach across the aisle and pursue policies that will not only sustainably expand the number of affordable housing units but will also boost existing programs and crack down on discrimination in the lending process.

Protecting our Democracy

There may be no issue more important than ensuring free and fair elections. To Amy, that means reducing the partisan gerrymandering and protecting every person’s right to vote. Voting is a sacred right in this country and Amy believes in making it easier, rather than harder, to exercise that right.

Transparency and Access

As a citizen, Amy believes that there isn’t enough honesty or transparency in our political system. As an elected representative, Amy will ensure that her constituents have access to her so they can help shape her priorities. Amy isn’t running to represent corporations or cater to powerful special interests, she wants to improve the lives of everyday North Carolinians. To Amy, that means listening to you.
