Education  

I have been endorsed by the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) in 2016, 2018 and 2020 for my "unwavering commitment" to strengthening North Carolina's education system.

A strong educational system, from the beginning years to the community college and university levels, is absolutely essential, not only to allowing our children to develop their natural abilities to the fullest, but to promoting and supporting a robust economic and business climate in North Carolina.

Recent studies indicate that the emerging job market in our state will require post high school training and skills.  As the proud father of three children educated in North Carolina schools and the doting grandfather of school aged grandchildren, I believe in maintaining a high quality and connected educational environment so that all North Carolina’s children will be prepared for the jobs of the future.
