KEEPING PROPERTY TAXES LOW

I’m proud to join Representative John Blust in co-sponsoring House Bill 539, which requires counties and municipalities to adopt a revenue-neutral tax rate during property revaluation years.

This bill ensures that rising property values don’t automatically lead to higher tax bills. With Lenoir County just completing a major revaluation, this is a timely and important step to protect taxpayers and promote transparency in local budgeting.

Our communities deserve peace of mind knowing repeat violent offenders won’t slip through the cracks. That's why I voted YES to pass Iryna’s Law — because I believe in accountability and justice.

This new law protects victims, keeps dangerous criminals behind bars, and delivers enhanced public safety for every North Carolinian.
