Where Brian stands

Diplomacy first. No more sending our sons and daughters to unnecessary wars.

Brian has seen war up close. He will put diplomacy and peaceful conflict resolution first, oppose excessive military spending, and redirect those resources to strengthening communities here at home.

Care that is easy to reach, for veterans and their families.

As a Marine veteran, Brian supports expanded healthcare, mental health services, and employment opportunities for veterans and their families.

Healthcare is a human right. Medicare for All.

Brian supports a single-payer Medicare for All system that puts patients ahead of corporate profits and ends the rising costs and medical debt crushing working families.

Stable homes build strong communities.

Brian supports expanding affordable housing, preventing foreclosures and evictions, and keeping housing costs within reach for families.

No Big Tech data centers in your backyard.

Brian opposes Big Tech’s push to build massive data centers in local neighborhoods. They don’t belong next to anyone’s home. He will support bills to limit data center construction in North Carolina and keep our neighborhoods livable.

Fair wages, safe workplaces, and the right to organize.

Brian supports the Green New Deal’s Economic Bill of Rights: meaningful employment, fair wages, safe workplaces, and the right to organize a union. He will prioritize local economies and worker-owned enterprises.

Fully funded public schools, tuition-free college, student debt relief.

Brian supports fully funded public education from early childhood through college, tuition-free enrollment, and student debt relief, with teachers and schools given the resources and respect they deserve.

Transit that keeps up with a growing Raleigh.

Raleigh and its neighbors are growing fast. Brian will make expanding transit a priority so commuters across the district can get where they need to go.

Protect the vote. Get big money out.

Brian supports strengthening voting rights, expanding democratic participation, and reducing the influence of money in politics, with equal ballot access, transparent elections, and real accountability.

Break up the too-big-to-fail banks.

Brian will take on the outsized influence of financial institutions: breaking up “too big to fail” banks, regulating speculation, and expanding public banking that serves communities.

A handful of billionaires shouldn’t control what we see and say.

Tech corporations have grown too big, especially in social media, and a handful of billionaires are buying up mainstream media. Brian supports breaking up tech and media monopolies to protect free speech and a real diversity of opinion.

AI should not go unregulated.

Brian will support bills that rein in artificial intelligence and put real rules on the companies building it.
