After a successful night, I am happy to announce that I will be returning to Raleigh, but this time as your District 11 State Senator. I am honored by the outpouring of support shown during this campaign and could not have achieved this critical win without supporters like you.

Happy National Nonprofit Day!

I want to recognize the many ways nonprofit organizations across District 11 aim to serve Nash, Franklin and Vance counties. Our local communities thank you!
