Guilford County Green Jobs Corridor

The market for Green Collar Jobs is growing despite the credit crunch and financial turmoil that is hitting markets around the globe. Green Collar jobs are usually found in areas of sustainable engineering, renewable energy and social responsibility. Guilford County is poised to be an excellent location for a green job corridor, much in the same way that Research Triangle has become a hub for public / private ventures in scientific development.

Healthcare Reform

Our healthcare system is broken, and the only fix is very simple: Single Payer, Not For Profit Healthcare at the state level for NC. That is why I will introduce the "North Carolina Healthcare Act" which will establish a single payer system for North Carolina.

To win this fight, we must emphasize tremendous fiscal benefits of state-based single payer system. The potential savings on paperwork, more than $1.5 billion per year in the state of North Carolina alone, are enough to provide comprehensive coverage to everyone without paying any more than we already do.
