​DIVERSITY IS MORE THAN COLOR
"If you truly understand the #NC01, then you know that our population of nearly 800,000 is a mix of political affiliations, culture, race and ethnicity, educational levels, age, professions, and beliefs. Some of us are strong advocates of the 2nd Amendment, while some desire more Gun Control. Many are Pro-Life while many believe it's a Woman's Choice. A lot of us believe the Fed should do more; but many others feel the Government oversteps. Our team reflects the diverse views of our Congressional district, and it's my job to represent and improve the lives of ALL my constituents...regardless of our differences!" - JS
