EXPERIENCE is what Cumberland County needs in Raleigh.
Cumberland County needs to send to Raleigh an experienced representative who can work well with all members of the N.C. General Assembly. I have the experience to bring resources to Cumberland County.
I am a U.S. Army veteran, a graduate of Fayetteville State University and a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. Among my leadership positions I have held the position of Human Relations director for the City of Fayetteville for more than 27 years; vice president of the local NAACP, which addressed the issue of “Driving While Black”; Murchison Road Corridor chairman; and past president of the National Association of Human Rights workers (which has more than 600 members).
In the General Assembly I served on seven standing committees and vice chair on three of those committees. I also served on 15 non-standing committees.
I helped to secure funds from the N.C. General Assembly to enclose the Committal Center the Fort Liberty cemetery (Sandhills).
