Finance Reports
No FEC campaign committee or reports on file for 2026
Checked 2026-09-24: the Federal Election Commission lists candidate ID H6NC11313 for this race, but no principal campaign committee is designated for the 2025–26 cycle, so there are no committee reports of receipts or spending. A candidate who raises or spends under $5,000 is not required to register a committee.
Sep 24, 2026 · Official · Federal Election CommissionNo authorized campaign committee on file with the FEC for the 2026 cycle
Checked 2026-09-24: FEC bulk candidate-committee linkage (ccl26) and committee master (cm26), FEC-processed 2026-09-23, for candidate ID H6NC11313. No committee is linked for 2026, so there are no FEC receipts, expenditures or campaign contacts to record. Committee registration is required only after $5,000 in contributions or expenditures (52 U.S.C. 30101(2)).

In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“To plant more trees and flowers.”
“Tough question for a Libertarian, but everyone deserves a decent pay raise in exchange for their hard work.”
“No. I don’t believe in taxation, but I’m glad that there are choices other than public schools.”
“We should avoid the path Raleigh took —using zoning regulations to restrict vast areas to single family houses only — thus pricing their teachers, police, firemen and other service professionals out of being able to afford to live where they work.”
“I believe that all politics are local.”
“Every human being deserves to be treated with dignity. Fear-mongering and division have no place in our town.”

“Bond-funded projects — which essentially are deferred tax increases — need close scrutiny, particularly now, with interest rates so high.”
“Balance the budget. Get rid of the income tax. Abolish Certificate of Need (CON) laws.”
