Nothing like seeing Grandma Helen — 94 years young — early voting today in Apex. My wife always makes sure they go together, driving her to vote for every election.
Early voting is open, easy, and curbside voting is available at all 12 Wake locations. Make a plan and vote early if you can. 🗳️

It was great to spend time with the Campbell Law Democrats talking about my race for Wake County District Attorney and what it means to step into this profession as a new lawyer.
What I saw at Campbell University School of Law gives me real hope for the future of our courts.

Honored to earn the endorsement of Morrisville Mayor TJ Cawley — and even more proud to call him a friend.
As Morrisville’s Mayor for the last eight years, TJ has shown what thoughtful, community-focused leadership looks like. That’s exactly the approach I’ll take as Wake County’s next DA.
