## Issues
### Education

We must protect and strengthen our public schools throughout Wake County. Our schools are a vital part of our economy, attracting major companies and producing our future labor force and leaders. Below are goals I will support.

Increase local school funding to ensure we have the best schools in the nation. Funding public schools should be a top priority of the County Commission.

Improve classroom instruction and management by adding more teacher assistants in the grades K-3 and work to reduce classroom size in grades 4 and 5. Provide local support to expand Pre-K slots to all of eligible children in Wake County. I want every child to come to kindergarten ready to learn.

I will work to partner with other municipalities and charitable organizations.

Wake County Board Approves $35 Million for Affordable Housing

November 21, 2022

The mission to create more affordable housing in Wake County received another significant boost today after Wake County Board unanimously voted to appropriate $35 million from the county's existing American Rescue Plan Act funds to address housing instability.

"Stable and affordable housing is a foundation for the health and well-being of everyone in our county," said Wake County Commissioner Vickie Adamson. "Addressing this need has been a top priority for me and this Board, and we need to keep this momentum up in the coming years. Federal funding opportunities like this, paired with our ongoing preservation efforts through the Wake County Affordable Housing Preservation Fund, are vital in ensuring people here have a safe roof over their heads."

Public Safety

Transit is essential and transportation choices must be convenient, accessible, and affordable. Our community benefits when there are extensive transportation choices to support job and economic growth while protecting the environment.

I will support a comprehensive regional transit system, including expanded bus services, fixed rail corridors and local circulators to ensure we have efficient travel options. I will work with our municipalities to ensure that the county supports their specific, local plans and will work to increase transit funding from the State of North Carolina, the federal government and a mixture of local funding sources.

I will support looking for ways to entice more to use our buses. I am pleased that free transit passes will be offered to students 18 and under. Hopefully, this helps reduce the burden on our current public schools transportation services.
