Investing in Infrastructure: Seth will ensure that all parts of North Carolina have access to what they need, such as high-speed Internet, adequate roadways, and capable ports.

School Choice: Seth will work to ensure that parents have the ability to decide how and where their children are educated. Workforce Development: Seth believes strongly that students should have access to a variety of educational and vocational opportunities during and after high school graduation. Increase Teacher Pay: My wife, Stephanie, was a teacher, and all four of my kids are in public school. I have seen the positive impact that a teacher can have on a child’s life up close. I’ve also witnessed the challenges that teachers face. We need to ensure that our teachers are respected as the professionals that they are. That means paying them more, and ensuring they don’t have to use their own money for school supplies for their students. Protecting the Life of the Unborn | ” |
